An open letter to Jacinda Ardern and New Zealand Now - Immigration NZ
Every year there are thousands of people who are excited to enter New Zealand with WORKING HOLIDAY VISA, to have an adventure in New Zealand.
This year because of the pandemic, many who already applied for the visa and paid for it, failed to enter New Zealand before the lockdown, so they are really upset about it.
They understand that during this pandemic, it is impossible to request New Zealand to open the border as to protect New Zealand from the virus infection.
All they request is to extend the visa expiry date so they could enter New Zealand after the pandemic is over.
Many of them emailed the immigration department since March but until the last day of 2020, there is no solution or answer to their situation.
Some of their visa already expired while most of them will be expiring soon in the coming month of January.
This cause huge disappointment to them as when the visa expired, they are not able to apply again.
I had been to New Zealand in 2015 for working holiday and it was one of my best moment in my life, I even made a series of youtube video to explain about it.
Furthermore, I organised a lot of sharing talks to share my experience to the public and I even published a Book about it.
So that's why I have to write this letter, to urge New Zealand Government give a chance to those who applied successfully this year.
Some of them even tried for many years before success to grab a slot this year and some of them are over 30 years old on next year.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Sincerely hope that New Zealand Government can hear from us.

🇨🇦 加拿大「救生艇計劃」詳情 —— 「青年人才」政策
隨著北京政府強行通過《港版國安法》並取消四位民主派議員議席,加拿大移民部長於本月12號公佈「#救生艇計劃」,希望填補英國及澳洲現有計劃的空缺,為更多香港抗爭者提供安全離開香港的機會。
加國「救生艇計劃」主要分為三個部分,其中一個針對「#青年人才」,政策內容如下:
優先處理香港學生之留學簽證申請;
為任何持有香港特區或英國公民(海外)護照的大專院校畢業生(過去五年內畢業)提供三年工作簽證,成為將來入籍的途徑。同時,申請者的伴侶及兒女亦可申請留學或工作簽證;
為畢業於加拿大大專院校的香港人、或擁有最少一年加拿大工作經驗並符合語言以及教育要求的香港人,包括申請者身處當地的直系親屬提供入籍成為永久性居民的途徑。
我們將於明天、後天繼續講解「#庇護」以及「#家庭團聚」政策,欲知更多詳情亦可留意Hong Kong Watch 社交平台或加拿大政府移民、難民以及公民部網站。
🇨🇦 Explainer of Canada’s Lifeboat Scheme —— “Young Talents Policy”
Following China's brutal imposition of the National Security Law and the National People’s Congress’ decision of disqualifying 4 pro-democracy legislators, Canada joined the U.K. and Australia in offering a “Lifeboat Scheme” to Hongkongers.
Canada’s Lifeboat Scheme was split into three major distinctive components, including “Young Talents”, “Asylum” and “Family Reunification”.
Details of "Young Talents" Policy are as follows,
Prioritizing Hong Kong students’ study visa applications.
Providing a three-years work visa for individuals with a Hong Kong passport or BN(O) passport who have graduated from post-secondary institutions in the past five years. Eligible spouses or common-law partners, as well as dependent children, can also apply for a study or work permit.
Providing pathways to citizenship for former Hong Kong residents who have graduated from a post-secondary institution in Canada and individuals who have gained a minimum of 1 year of authorized work experience in Canada and meet other criteria such as minimum language and education levels. In-Canada spouses, partners, and dependent children of applicants will also be included.
For more details, please refer to our website or Canada’s Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Department.

美帝國家安全副司法部長好狠囂張
「今次獵人被獵,追捕者自己被補喇!」
今日美帝FBI公布總共咗拘捕五個中國「特工」("agents" 美帝司法部個標題咁講㗎!),涉嫌越境响美國國土執行中國嘅「獵狐行動」。根據中國方面嘅解釋,獵狐行動主要係追捕逃亡到境外嘅貪官或者商人返中國受審。
不過美帝就覺得呢個只係好多無視法治精神嘅方法嘅一種(“Operation Foxhunt is just one of many ways in which China disregards the rule of law.”)。
因為响涉及嘅案件受害人當中,法庭文件顯示行動包括長期監視、恐嚇、家人仔女(包括朋友同學)被騷擾甚至綁架。
咁高調拉人,FBI同美帝司法部高層講嘢緊係囂張啦。FBI局長Christopher Wray就咁講,
"Simply put: It's outrageous that China thinks it can come to our shores, conduct illegal operations and bend people here in the United States to their will."
(單嘢好簡單:佢地好無恥咁覺得可以隨便黎到美國領土,執行非法嘅行動,扭曲住响美國嘅居民嘅意志。)
而美帝負責國安事務嘅副司法部長John C. Demers就仲串,
“With today’s charges, we have turned the PRC’s Operation Fox Hunt on its head — the hunters became the hunted, the pursuers the pursued.”
(今日呢啲控罪效果就係要將「獵狐行動」扭到反轉,即係獬令獵人被獵,追捕者自己被拘補。)
