Immigration consultant: more attractive to young people without BNO
Zhang Jiaxi, director of Huankai Immigration Consulting Co., Ltd., said that Australia and Canada are obviously mainly accommodating Hong Kong university students and young people. There is obviously competition between the two, although Australia has previously extended the graduate and temporary work visas of local Hong Kong people5 However, I believe that it is not enough to attract Canada, so the immigration policy has been further relaxed.
The outside world has always believed that Australia's "points system" is quite strict and difficult to meet the standards.
Zhang said that Australia faces the problem of aging population. After lowering the threshold, it may attract a group of young people who do not have BNO. Through the new visa method, they can immigrate to the local area in a more relaxed way. Options.
