Hmm, that's weird - there are a few posts in this thread that don't give me the option to "Thanks" and this was one of them...

But thanks for the info!

They also told us that either that was the only way, or that I had to live in HK for 7 years? Anyways, can I just go in and apply for HK citizenship and NOT pay international student fees?

I am in a similar situation as you are however I am already at the interview stage (which means I qualify for HKID). I am going back in December for final interview n that should determine if I get it or not. If you are born in Canada BEFORE 1997 then you qualify for HKID because HK was part of the British colony.

hope that helps....

Any news on your application?

Given what you said, you will most likely get the Right to Land.
