Hong Kongers’ new opportunity to move to Canada
Flexible open work permits and fast-track to Permanent residency!
We are aware that there are a lot of reasons for many Hong Kong residents to look at Canada as their home country. The Canadian Government recognized the increasing demand for Canadian immigration paths by Hong Kong residents.
There were several new announcements by the Canadian Minister of Immigration regarding Hong Kong residents who choose to come to Canada.
Join our webinar on this topic: 21 February Sunday 8:00 PM (EST- Toronto/Montreal time)/ 22 February Monday 9:00 AM Hong Kong SAR China time
The new Hong Kong immigration pathway welcomes young, talented and experienced graduates to be integrated into the Canadian society and economy.
Hong Kong residents can apply for new open work permits from February 8, 2021.
The new open work permit is valid for up to 3 years. These allow Hong Kong residents to gain important employment experience and make valuable contributions to Canada.
Hong Kong residents must have graduated with a Canadian post-secondary diploma or degree in the last 5 years, or hold an equivalent foreign credential. A post-secondary diploma program must be a minimum of 2 years.
Hong Kong residents now in Canada as visitors, students and workers, can apply online while in Canada.
It is possible to apply from abroad.
The current travel restrictions may cause some delay in their soft landing.
Hong Kong residents applications will get priority processing (if you apply online, the priority processing will be automatic, if you apply by paper please note: “URGENT – HONG KONG PRIORITY” on your envelope)
They can only travel to Canada if they have a job offer or meet a travel exemption and comply with all public health requirements.
In addition to open work permits, the Government of Canada continues to implement 2 other pathways to permanent residence for young Hong Kong residents, which will be available later this year.
The first will be for Hong Kong residents with at least 1 year of work experience in Canada and who meet the language and education criteria.
The second will be for Hong Kong residents who have graduated from a post-secondary institution in Canada; who can then apply directly for permanent residence. More information will be available later this year.
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
