Canada Expands Open Work Permit for Hong Kong Residents

Canada has announced an extension and expansion of its Open Work Permit program for residents of Hong Kong. The program will allow eligible Hong Kong residents to work in Canada while they await the outcome of their permanent residency application.

The original program, which was launched in 2020, provided temporary work authorization for Hong Kong residents who had already applied for permanent residency in Canada. The expanded program will now allow eligible individuals to apply for a work permit before they submit their permanent residency application. This will provide greater flexibility for Hong Kong residents who are looking to build a new life in Canada.

Expanding eligibility: Hong Kong residents who have graduated within the past 10 years from a post-secondary learning institution in Canada or abroad. This means that more Hong Kongers can pursue their career goals and gain valuable work experience in Canada for up to 3 years. The extended deadline for eligible Hong Kong residents to apply for an open work permit is February 7, 2025.

Applicants must have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer and meet the usual requirements for work permits, such as a medical exam and police certificate. They must also provide evidence of their Hong Kong residency and a statement of the reasons for their decision to leave Hong Kong.

This expanded program is a significant step in Canada's commitment to protecting and supporting human rights, and it is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of many Hong Kong residents. It will provide them with the opportunity to build a new life in Canada while they await the outcome of their permanent residency application, and it will also benefit Canadian employers by providing them with a new source of skilled workers.

The Open Work Permit Program for Hong Kong residents is an excellent opportunity for those who wish to live and work in Canada. The extension and expansion of the Open Work Permit program for Hong Kong residents is a positive step for both Hong Kong residents and Canadian employers.
