10/20 Flashcards unlocked
10 genuine preview cards are open below; purchase unlocks all 20.
1. Before you invest time preparing for the Immigration Assistant exams, what is the single most important document you must check?
The latest official vacancy notice on the Civil Service Bureau website. It confirms the exact entry requirements, exam stages, and whether BLNST, CRE, or other tests are needed for the current recruitment cycle.
2. Is a pass in the Basic Law and National Security Test (BLNST) required for the Immigration Assistant post?
Yes. A valid BLNST pass result is an entry requirement for all civil service jobs, including Immigration Assistant.
3. What is the passing score for the degree-level digitalised BLNST, and how quickly do you receive the result?
You need at least 10 correct answers out of 20 multiple-choice questions. The result is issued as an electronic certificate by email on the same day.
4. Name three core operational duties of an Immigration Assistant.
Search, guard, escort, patrol, reception, driving, and other operational duties connected with the enforcement of immigration, registration of persons, births, deaths and marriage laws. (Any three are acceptable.)
5. What is the minimum total score required in the Immigration Assistant Physical Fitness Test (PFT), and what is the rule for individual items?
You must score at least 1 point in each of the five items and achieve a minimum total score of 15 points. Check the current vacancy notice for any updates.
6. During the selection process, you will face a syndicate discussion. What language is it conducted in, and what type of topics are typically discussed?
It is conducted in Cantonese and focuses on current affairs. This assesses your communication skills, analytical ability, and awareness of social issues.
7. Why is the ability to detect forged documents relevant to an Immigration Assistant's duties?
Immigration Assistants are involved in enforcing immigration and registration of persons laws, which includes examining travel documents and identity papers. Detecting forgeries is essential to prevent illegal entry, identity fraud, and other offences.
8. You notice a colleague accepting a small gift from a service user who is grateful for help. What is your primary concern as a civil servant?
Under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, government officers must not solicit or accept advantages as an inducement, reward, or reason for performing an official act. Even a small gift can be seen as an advantage, and the purpose and circumstances matter more than its value. This could compromise integrity and public trust.
9. What laws are covered in the BLNST?
The Basic Law (including its annexes, instruments, attachments, and appendices) and the National Security Law.
10. You read online that the CRE is mandatory for all civil service jobs. Is this correct for Immigration Assistant?
Not necessarily. Some disciplined services rank-and-file posts, including Immigration Assistant, may use departmental tests or other language requirements instead of CRE. Always verify against the current vacancy notice.
