Permanent Residence Pathway for Hong Kong Residents

Permanent Residence Pathway for Hong Kong Residents

Canada offers a unique Permanent Residence (PR) pathway for eligible Hong Kong residents, providing an opportunity to secure long-term stability in Canada. This program, open until August 31, 2026, is designed to attract skilled individuals who have either studied or worked in Canada.

At Kahlon Law Office, we specialize in guiding clients through the complexities of immigration law. Our experienced legal team can help ensure a seamless PR application process, minimizing delays and maximizing approval chances.

What are the eligibility requirements?

Hong Kong residents may apply under two distinct streams:

Stream A: In-Canada Graduates

This stream is tailored for recent graduates of Canadian designated learning institutions (DLIs). To qualify, applicants must:

  • Hold a valid Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) passport or a British National (Overseas) passport (BNO).
  • Be physically present in Canada at the time of application and approval.
  • Have valid temporary resident status in Canada.
  • Intend to settle in any province or territory except Quebec.
  • Have graduated from a Canadian post-secondary institution within the last three years, completing at least 50% of the program in Canada.
  • Meet a minimum Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level of 5 in English or French.

Stream B: Canadian Work Experience

This stream is aimed at individuals who have gained skilled work experience in Canada. To be eligible, applicants must:

  • Hold a HKSAR or BNO passport.
  • Be physically present in Canada at the time of application and approval.
  • Have valid temporary resident status in Canada.
  • Intend to reside outside Quebec.
  • Have worked in Canada for at least 12 months full-time (or equivalent part-time) in the last three years.

Meet language proficiency requirements (CLB 5 or higher).

What documents are needed for the application process?

Applicants must prepare essential documents such as:

  • Proof of identity (passport copy).
  • Educational credentials (degree/diploma and transcripts for Stream A).
  • Work experience records (employment letters, T4 tax slips for Stream B).
  • Language test results (IELTS, CELPIP, TEF, or TCF).

Is there an open work permit available for Hong Kong Applicants?

Applicants awaiting PR approval may be eligible for a 3-year open work permit, allowing them to work for any employer in Canada. This provides financial security while awaiting PR processing.
