How-to-Say Guide: Migration

1. Hiring and shortlisting

   A colleague assumes a refugee candidate is only fit for entry-level work.

   "Many forced migrants hold advanced degrees and professional backgrounds from home. Let's look at their technical skills and talents rather than assuming they're limited to entry-level work."

2. University and tuition support

   Asylum-seeking students are usually barred from government loans and grants.

   "You've worked incredibly hard to earn your place here. If there are any funding gaps or administrative hurdles we can look into together, please let us know."

3. School enrolment

   Stateless children often lack standard HK ID, which can stall registration.

   "We're thrilled to welcome your child. If you don't have standard local ID for the forms, don't worry, we can use official immigration papers or school letters to get everything set up."
