IMPACT — MEDIUM
The Canadian government recently expanded and extended its open work permit program for Hong Kong residents.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Under the Hong Kong open work permit program, spouses, common-law partners and dependent children are eligible to apply for a study or work permit. Hong Kong residents “at risk of persecution” who have fled to another country may also be eligible under Canada’s existing resettlement programs, including the Private Sponsorship of Refugees Programand the Government-Assisted Refugees Program.
BAL Analysis: The expanded open work program will allow Canada to attract more skilled individuals, including those who have already acquired work experience, to address labor shortages.
