No, absolutely not. They want your son for NS (and they want to see that commitment from you) so if you don’t apply as a family they will 💯 certain reject your pr application. Read More

Which passports do you hold and what visa are you on? Being admitted to a good (secondary) school will not get your child pr. Not even being admitted to a top uni here will suffice for pr. I know several parents who tried, their children were here ... Read More

In that case, if the offer from the UK is a good one I would accept it in a heartbeat. It will offer your family much more certainty in the long run and the UK has so much more to offer than Singapore imho. Read More
