FSW and PNP, is it possible to continue both at the same time ?

[Jewel]

Hello,

I have applied under FSW in 2006 through CIC Singapore. Since, it is taking long time to process, so I am thinking to apply for PNP in this month.
Now I would like to know, is it possible to continue both application at the same time ? Would be so grateful if you comment on this.

Best rgds,

Best rgds,

Yes, it is possible to have two applications but at the end you will have to choose under which one your permanent residence status will be granted.


"If I have already submitted an application for permanent residence as a skilled worker (the traditional way to apply), can I still apply under this category?

Yes, but applicants are required to submit a new application with new fees.

If CIC has not started processing the skilled worker application, the applicant could withdraw it and may be entitled to a refund.

It is not forbidden to apply simultaneously with two different streams of the Economic Class."

However, the applicant will have to choose under which one the permanent resident status will be granted."
