Members transfer to another CGI division

If a member is leaving China divisional territory and will be ordinarily resident in other divisional territory, they can apply to transfer their membership of CGI to an appropriate division. Applicants are required to submit a completed Application Form for Membership Transfer-Out and provide necessary information to the Institute for handling.

Once the transfer is confirmed by both divisions and completed, the transferred member will cease to be an Ordinary Member of the Institute.

Cessation of Residence

Where an Ordinary Member ceases to be ordinarily resident in the China divisional territory and transferred his membership to another division of CGI, his membership shall cease with the Institute.

If the member returns to the China divisional territory and transfers his membership back to the Institute within five years, he shall then be entitled to resume his membership as Ordinary Member without being required to undertake local examinations or additional requirements.

However, if the member returns to the China divisional territory and transfers his membership back to the Institute for a period longer than five years, he shall then only be admitted as an Internationally Qualified Member. He can apply for re-election to Ordinary Membership by satisfying additional requirements stated below.

Election/Re-election to Ordinary Membership

If an Internationally Qualified Member wishes to obtain/re-instate his Ordinary Membership by satisfying additional requirements, he is required to submit an application in writing and provide necessary information demonstrating that he has sufficient local knowledge and practical experience to the Membership Committee for consideration.

The Membership Committee shall, if appropriate, endorse the Internationally Qualified Member to proceed with his application by satisfying additional requirements set out below:

To gain 15 Enhanced CPD points within 12 months set by the Membership Committee; or
To fulfil other requirements set by the Membership Committee.
