4/30/2021

0 Comments

 
As a Hong Kong recent graduate, you may be eligible to apply for an open work permit under a temporary public policy for Hong Kong residents.
The open work permit is valid for up to 3 years.
Who can applyTo be eligible, you must
  • hold a valid passport issued by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) or the United Kingdom to a British National Overseas (BNO)
    • Your work permit is valid for up to 3 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
      • For example, if your passport is valid for 6 months, then you will be issued an open work permit for 6 months.
      • To maximize the duration of the open work permit, make sure your passport is valid for at least 3 years from the date of approval.
      • Tell us how long you want your work permit to be valid.
  • have graduated no more than 5 years before you apply for this open work permit, with
    • a degree (for example, bachelor, master or doctorate) from a designated post-secondary learning institution in Canada or abroad, or
    • a diploma for a minimum 2-year program from a designated post-secondary learning institution in Canada or abroad
If you got your education abroadYou don’t need an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) to apply if you got a degree (for example, bachelor, master or doctorate) outside Canada, but an officer may request one later.
If you got a diploma outside of Canada, you must provide an ECA.
The ECA must be from an organization or a professional body designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. They’ll give you a report that tells you what your education is equal to in Canada.
Processing times and costs vary by organization or professional body.
Once you choose a designated organization or a professional body, they’ll tell you how to submit your documents to get your assessment.
Designated organizationsYou must use one of these designated organizations:
  • Comparative Education Service – University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies
    • designated: April 17, 2013
  • International Credential Assessment Service of Canada
    • designated: April 17, 2013
  • World Education Services
    • designated: April 17, 2013
  • International Qualifications Assessment Service
