Answer a few quick questions

cancheck only asks what changes the result for the situation you picked. Two or three questions for most situations. Just one for safety crises. Optional follow-ups appear after results if you want to sharpen the match.

Are you a Singapore Citizen, PR, or neither?

Asked in almost every flow — many schemes are citizen- or PR-only

What is your total household monthly income?

Asked when income is a relevant filter

Situation-specific question (e.g. job type, school costs, medical timing)

What this is depends on the situation you picked

Who lives with you in the household?

Asked for situations where family composition changes the shortlist

Optional follow-ups after results

Birth year, ethnicity, housing — surfaces extra schemes if you want

Nothing you enter is stored or transmitted.
