The full guide
Category C sits below China's points-scored Category A (top talent) and Category B (professional, generally degree + salary-multiple gated) in the same national work-permit points system, but it isn't simply 'a lower score' — it's a genuinely different, quota-controlled tier for labour-intensive, short-term, or seasonal roles (under-90-day short-term work, certain government internship/exchange programmes, seasonal or service-sector labour, some technical trades) rather than general skilled professional work. Provincial and municipal quotas gate it, and quota availability — not a published points threshold — is the real constraint, which varies significantly by region and role and can genuinely run out.
Processing: Roughly 3–4 weeks
