Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page research paper that offers a summation and analysis of an article on Hong Kong migration from 1994 and the role of migration advisers. In 1994, there were more than 100 companies in Hong Kong specializing in offering consulting services to potential migrants to other countries (Hardie, 1994). Migration in the 1980s and early 1990s was spurred as a direct consequence of fears generated by the impending retrocession of Hong Kong to China (Vickers and Kan, 2003). During this period, thousands of people, frequently professionals, migrated overseas, usually to Australia, Canada or New Zealand, in order to secure foreign nationality for themselves and their families (Vickers and Kan, 2003). By having a member of the family obtain foreign citizenship, a family was perceived as having a "bolt-hole abroad in the event of political or economic repression of the post-1997 (Chinese) regime" (Vickers and Kan, 2003, p. 179). In his detailed study, Hardie (1994) examines the role of the migrant adviser in the processes spurring the exodus from Hong Kong during this time. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

a member of the family obtain foreign citizenship, a family was perceived as having a "bolt-hole abroad in the event of political or economic repression of the post-1997 (Chinese) regime"
(Vickers and Kan, 2003, p. 179). In his detailed study, Hardie (1994) examines the role of the migrant adviser in the processes spurring the exodus from Hong Kong during this
time. Hardies principal thesis is that migration advisers do not simply offer advice on how to handle the migration process, but rather they actively change the nature of that
process (Hardie, 1994). They accomplish this by "adding new levels to the procedures and by refocusing the attention and energy of the potential migrants" (Hardie, 1994, p. 53). Migration
advisers fall into two general categories: servers and sellers (Hardie, 1994). Servers employ their expert knowledge in order to present their clients, and their affairs, in the best possible light
to immigration officials (Hardie, 1994). Servers may have extensive knowledge of the immigration laws in a number of destination countries. Hardie goes on to enumerate the services offered and
the benefits gained from this particular type of migration adviser. The chief benefit of this service appears to be that it offers provides potential migrants with a sense of someone
being on their side and aiding them in negotiating the paper work and red tape involved in the migration process (Hardie, 1994). Frequently, Hong Kong migrants who own successful businesses
