Hong Kong Stream A/B Permanent Residence Pathway

[vincit25]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for people from Hong Kong who are applying for PR through the temporary policy, as I'm not able to find a lot of information about what happens after you submit the application.

For context, I have worked in Montreal for 22 months which qualifies me for Stream B under the recent change allowing people from Hong Kong with 1 year of work experience in Canada to apply for PR. I submitted my application on December 16th and I'm wondering about the following:

1. How long do PR applications from HK usually take to approve? What is the process in between?
2. Are we eligible for any bridging open work permits to work in Canada while we are waiting for the result?
3. As I'm finishing my role in Montreal, do I need to find another way to stay in Canada while I'm waiting for the PR result or it's okay to work elsewhere and come back to Canada once I get approved?

As a note, I'm fully aware that I won't be able to live in Quebec under this pathway, which I'm fine with and have no intention of doing so.

Thanks a lot.
