Recently, quite a number of mainlanders have been recruited by the Hong Kong government to work in Hong Kong.
This time, it is mainly bus drivers who have come to Hong Kong, and those who have been approved have already arrived in Hong Kong one after another.
The salary alone is very attractive, at least 14,300 yuan per month, which can be said to be nearly three times more than the same type of work in the mainland.

And it will also pay for accommodation, training and examinations, etc., everyone knows that Hong Kong has a lot of money, and there is more money in hand if you don't have rent.

And the environment of foreign workers' accommodation is still very good, and there are even supporting billiard tables, gyms and wifi.
Many Gangpiao even said that foreign workers live better than their rented houses.

These mainlanders mainly came to Hong Kong through the Labour Importation Scheme.
And last month, the second round of applications for mainland drivers to come to Hong Kong began, but the application time is almost over.

But don't be too discouraged, because the Hong Kong government has been recruiting a large number of mainlanders through the labor import scheme.
So what is the Labour Importation Scheme?
All roads lead to Hong Kong!
Everyone knows how fragrant wages are in Hong Kong, and it is also because of the high wages that many mainlanders are attracted to work in Hong Kong.
There are even many people who enter Hong Kong illegally to work as illegal workers, because the low daily wage of 300-500 Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong is also a very high salary for mainlanders.
But illegal workers are illegal! And there have been people who have been arrested for illegal work.

According to the Hong Kong Immigration Ordinance, illegal immigrants are not allowed to accept paid or unpaid employment, establish or participate in any business. The maximum penalty upon conviction is imprisonment for three years and a fine of $50,000!
At present, there are three main types of labour imported into Hong Kong, namely the Special Scheme for the Importation of Care Workers in Residential Care Homes, the Industry Importation Scheme and the Supplementary Labour Enhancement Scheme.

In general, in order to alleviate the shortage of employment in Hong Kong, the government has specially approved companies to allow foreign (non-Hong Kong) recruitment, but the quota also needs to be approved by the employer to the government.
Most of them require work experience, after all, it would be scary to hire someone who has never driven a bus and come to Hong Kong to drive.
However, the labor is all relatively basic positions.
The Special Scheme for Imported Care in Residential Care Homes is mainly for the recruitment of nursing assistants, who are mainly responsible for taking care of the elderly and the disabled.

This type of work is similar to that of a nurse, but according to the official definition, a caregiver should be more focused on "care", which is different from an assistant, a health center or a nurse.

The Labour Importation Scheme is mainly aimed at the construction, aviation and bus industries.
In other words, construction workers, airport ground staff, maintenance workers and drivers can come to Hong Kong to work under this scheme.

The Supplementary Labor Optimization Program was previously called the Supplementary Labor Program, but after the optimization, it is equivalent to further expanding the scope of jobs to include waiters, clerks, and delivery people.

However, the Scheme is subject to a two-year time limit and cannot be automatically renewed, and the renewal must be re-submitted by the employer to the Labour Department.
Because these plans are issued by the government, they will also be more secure in terms of wages, and the government requires that the wages paid to imported workers must be above the median wage of the position.
For example, if the median monthly wage of a cashier in Hong Kong is HK$15,250, the wage of imported workers cannot be lower than this figure.

And because Hong Kong's employment is indeed quite tight, there are still a lot of recruits, and the construction industry plans to recruit 12,000 people in the foreign labor plan alone!

So the question is, how do mainlanders apply to work as foreign workers in Hong Kong?
The ImmD stipulates that the application must be submitted to the ImmD through the prospective employer, and the employer must recruit the imported workers through a foreign labour cooperative enterprise approved by the relevant Mainland authorities.
Applications submitted directly by Chinese residents of the Mainland will not be accepted.

In other words, if a mainlander wants to work as a foreign worker in Hong Kong, he can only apply for a job with a mainland labor service company, and then the prospective employer can apply for it for you.
And you must look for qualified foreign labor cooperation enterprises, because there are many scams targeting foreign workers!
It's all because of greed!
If you choose to be a foreign worker, it is nothing more than money-related, so you should be vigilant about high-paying jobs.
Although Hong Kong has a high salary, it is not full of gold, and not all positions can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. Therefore, after seeing the corresponding recruitment information, you can check the Internet to check how much money you can get for the position in Hong Kong, and you also have a bottom in your heart.

In addition, it is absolutely impossible to get permanent residence status only through foreign workers!
Everyone knows how fragrant the benefits of Hong Kong identity are, but if someone tells you that you can get Hong Kong status through foreign workers, then you can run as far as you can, and you may be severely cheated in other aspects!
In addition, if you are asked to pay the registration fee before you have a job, don't go.

Before you pay the money, the "intermediary" will take the initiative to contact you in order to cheat you out of money, let alone go to Hong Kong after paying the money, it is difficult for you to see the intermediary.
And everyone comes out to work to make money, so it's better not to pay to work......
Finally, in addition to looking for a formal and qualified foreign labor cooperation enterprise, you must also consider carefully before choosing to go through the foreign labor program.
This is because, according to the law, if you come to Hong Kong through the Supplementary Labour Scheme, you cannot change your employer, position or place of work during this period.
In other words, if you encounter a black-hearted boss, it will be very painful to work, and there have even been many cases of deducting the wages of foreign workers before.

In addition to the Labour Scheme, Hong Kong has also launched various talent admission schemes for talents, such as the Admission Scheme for Mainland Talents and Professionals, TTPS, and Quality Migrant Schemes, through which Mainlanders can also come to Hong Kong.
However, since it is a talent, the requirements are also relatively high. Take Gao Caitong as an example, either you have an annual income of more than 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, or you are a graduate of a prestigious university and have some work experience.

It is still difficult for most people to meet such conditions, but in general, in recent years, there have been many more opportunities for mainlanders to work in Hong Kong.
Finally, let's discuss, what do you think of working in Hong Kong?
