Maximum points for those aged 30 40, the group most prone to emigrate. Points would decrease below or above this range. Those aged 51 or more would incur negative points up to a maximum of 200 negative points for those aged 60 and above.
Experience
10 points for each year of relevant working experience up to a maximum of 15 years. For businessmen only, the points would also take account of earnings as a measure of success and value to Hong Kong.
Education/Training
Up to 50 points for general education qualifications; 50 for basic vocational/ professional qualifications; 50 for post-qualification training.
Special Circumstances
Points only to be allocated after advice from Steering Group. Could highlight special qualities amongst many who otherwise had equal claim. For example, to increase weighting given to professional qualifications in occupations where these were seen as important. Or to give higher profile to occupations which were suffering from higher emigration rate compared with others in the same group. Or to recognise exceptional merit or achievement.
Proficiency in English
50 points for those who obtain a specified standard in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination in English.
British Links
Up to 50 points on the basis of connections with the UK (e.g. residence, education), for service with British firms, or for civilian or military service for HMG, the Hong Kong Government, or other British organisations (e.g. British Council).
