For a long time, Hong Kong identity has been known as the best springboard for emigrating overseas~
Because all major immigration popular countries have loose policies for people with Hong Kong status, it has a greater advantage than direct application for household registration in the Mainland.
Next, Xiaoxing will take the four countries of the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom as examples to share their specific policies
United States
【U.S】
Applying for a U.S. visa is never easy, and refusals are common.
But if you have a Hong Kong identity, you can not only increase the application approval rate, but also enjoy VIP-level treatment.
01
Apply for F1 student visa
Affected by the epidemic before, the Biden administration tightened policies, including mainland students who went to study in the United States experienced visa refusal.
However, Hong Kong students can directly apply for F1 study visas, and their academic plans have not been disrupted.
02
Apply for DED and legally work in the United States
DED in the United States is also known as deferred deportation. For applicants with Hong Kong passports, they can continue to live and work legally in the United States even if they have no status.
At the same time, you can apply for a work card to work legally, and after applying for DED status, you can enter and exit freely as long as you apply for a return to the United States.

【 Canada】
Recently, the Canadian government announced the latest immigration policy for Hong Kong residents:
Provide open work permits for Hong Kong youths who have a college, undergraduate or above degree (within 5 years) in Canada or overseas, and the validity period can be up to 3 years.
Eligible spouses or common-law partners and children can also apply for work or study permits.
Previously, the Canadian Immigration Department also created an immigration channel for young people from Hong Kong, China, who came to Canada to study or work:
01
OpenWork PermitVisa
All Hong Kong people who have graduated from colleges, undergraduates or higher institutions within the past five years can apply for an open work visa.
02
accelerated immigration
① Hong Kong people who graduated from Canadian colleges and universities can give priority to applying for Canadian immigration;
② Hong Kong people who have worked in Canada for one year and meet the minimum language requirements and academic standards can apply for Canadian immigration first.
03
New immigration program will be opened
Hong Kong people who meet the minimum language and education standards of the Ministry of Immigration and have Canadian work experience can obtain Canadian permanent residence status through this project.
Hong Kong permanent residents who are already in Canada are exempted from processing fees for visa renewal or extension of residence applications.
Australia
【 Australia】
Since July 2020, after Australia has implemented 485 and 482 visas for Hong Kong passport holders, it has added "189 visa-Hong Kong branch" and "191 visa-Hong Kong branch".
As long as the residence time is met, applicants holding a Hong Kong passport can easily get a PR in Australia!
01
189 Permanent Resident Visa-Hong Kong Branch
The main applicant holds a Hong Kong SAR passport or BNO passport, and holds any of the following visas for more than 4 years and meets the residence time, then he can apply for permanent residence in Australia.
1) 457 Temporary Employer Sponsored Visa
2) 482 Temporary Employer Sponsorship Visa
3) 485 graduate work visa
02
191 Permanent Resident Visa - Hong Kong Branch
Applicants need to hold a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region passport or BNO passport, work and live in designated remote areas for at least three years, and can apply for 191 permanent residence status after three years.
Britain
【 U.K】
Since January 2021, the UK has launched a visa scheme for Hong Kong residents holding BNO passports.
① If the main applicant and his family members are Hong Kong residents and hold a "BNO passport", they are eligible to apply for the right of abode in the UK;
② After living in the UK for 5 years, you can apply for permanent residence in the UK; after holding permanent residence in the UK for 1 year, you can apply for naturalization in the UK.
The plan once triggered a new round of immigration boom in Hong Kong, and many Hong Kong people also took advantage of this policy to successfully immigrate to the UK and realize their new life plans.
From the above immigration policies, it is enough to see that Hong Kong identity is an excellent way to allocate global assets, and it is also a golden springboard for overseas immigration.
Whether it is in peacetime or extraordinary times, whether it is planning family development or children's education, one more Hong Kong identity is one more Plan-B that can be attacked and defended!
