Since the Return of Hong Kong in 1997，the Hong Kong SAR Government has introduced a number of social policies on Chinese immigrants.Based on the Hong Kong Panel Study of Social Dynamic conducted in Hong Kong in 2011，we focus on the place of education effect on the acquisition of immigrants' initial vocational status among Hong Kong's local-borns，mainland immigrants educated in Hong Kong and the mainland immigrants educated in mainland China.The study found that the place of education more clearly differentiate the initial vocational status between the mainland migrants and the local-borns.Compared with the generation acquiring the initial vacation before the Return，In the generation acquiring initial vacation after the Return，The gap between the mainland-educated and the Hongkong-educated does not diminish.However the structural discrimination on the former is weakened.The gap on the initial vocational status between the mainland higher educated and the Hongkong higher educated has disappeared.In the post-Return generation，the gap can be explained by the lower educational attainment of the mainland-educateds.We believe that the SAR Government should go ahead on paying attention on local educational opportunities and constructing a more fair labor environment for the lower education mainland immigrants.
