Post-secondary educated Hong Kong residents who completed their studies in Canada or other countries within the past 10 years — instead of five — can now qualify for open work permits in Canada
In response to months of political lobbying for Hong Kongers fleeing China’s communist regime, Canada is extending the deadline and relaxing the eligibility requirements for work permits for migrants from the former British colony.
“Canada will continue to support the many meaningful exchanges between Canada and Hong Kong while standing up for the people of Hong Kong,” Fraser said in a statement Monday. Those who come on a study permit can apply directly for immigration upon graduation from a post-secondary institution in Canada.
