Re: Singapore PR vs Canada PR, which one is better for the long term?
Outside of space and the political/social environment, it likely depends on what you do and whether you are talking about a single person or a family. These days, the high-end opportunity set is probably better in Singapore. Desirable housing and daily COL in the big Canadian cities are not cheap/low, especially when viewed relative to typical wages on an after-tax basis. School fees, car costs, and maybe medical will favour Canada.

Re: Singapore PR vs Canada PR, which one is better for the long term?
The really big difference is that Canadian PR really is permanent unless you commit a criminal act or violate minimum stay rules. Singapore PR has nothing "permanent" about it except the name. Five year renewals are the norm, PR is tightly tied to being employed, and PR after retirement is anyone's guess... unless you have lots of cash.
Definitely warmer in Singapore, though.

Great to see that you are not having reverse culture shock. That is definitely an important factor to help you settle back in as quickly as possible.

It has been about a month since we came back to India. We are staying in the upper floor of the landed house of my parents. It was empty when we came and we initially lived with our parents and bought all the furnitures needed. This was really exciting because it was the first time we were buying furniture of our choice. The 16 years we spent in SG, it was always fully furnished houses and we made sure we didnt buy anything, because we didnt want to accumulate stuff as we were on EP.
We moved to our own house in 2 weeks and now everything is set. I bought a nice motorcycle and everyday I drop my daughter to school and pick her up. I love riding the bike and it is the best part of my day and I sorely missed riding in SG. My daughter loves her new school, it has way more extracurricular activities than the intl school we put her in SG.
The biggest positive is that I can see and speak to my parents everyday. Also my uncle lives nearby and he is my beer buddy, he calls me for a drink .....
