Hong Kong is ideal for the Highly Skilled!

Hong Kong is ever busy as a bee both with emigration and immigration. The in and out movements have largely been influenced by the formidable Chinese Dragon always at the back of their mind. When in 1949, the communists took over China it was from the Dragon Kingdom that people made Immigration to Hong Kong a beeline. The Tiananmen Square incident in Beijing in 1989, in which people were brutally suppressed with Army tanks and what not, created such a fear among the island citizens that they chose to move to the ends of the Earth such as Canada and other developed countries. In any case, over 90% of people are ethnic Chinese at any point of time. Owing to the fact that it is a former British colony, the English-speaking abilities of the many people are near native and their working skill is of a high standard. So it goes without saying that for one to wish to migrate to Hong Kong, they should by very highly skilled to consider the option.

Despite the tough standards and the ebb and flow of the skilled people away from and into the island state gives perpetual scope for quality migration only. The Hong Kong Quality Migration Admission Scheme is tailor-made to the professionals who would want to show their mettle in the competitive market.

The importance of Hong Kong is it is central to Chinese economic expansion plans. Although China is not above constant territorial claims to everything in its sights, the territorial part is for the present supplanted by economic growth. In its drive to be the world's superpower, with or without a rival, China has made the free economy of Hong Kong its window. Beijing very well knows that the various countries have reservations to deal with the Communist power, so Hong Kong is an ideal economic front for it. And the island state thrives, as a result, in its laissez-faire, although ever wary of Beijing.

The quality migration scheme is quota-based for the highly skilled or qualified professionals. The category is aimed at enhancing the island state's economic competitiveness in the global market. Applications can be downloaded, filled and sent directly to the authorities in Hong Kong. Successful applicants may arrive in the island state with or without a job offer letter. There are two points-based tests, however, for all applicants. The General Points Test and Achievement-based Points Test are, in fact, a competition for quota allocation among the applicants. Successful applicants under the Scheme may take their spouse and dependent children under the age of 18 to the island state. The only condition is those coming under the scheme should be capable of supporting their families on their own without public assistance from the city state.
