Going back nearly 2 decades, the BS I had to go through to covert Australian ATPL to HK was a good introduction to how they run things up there. Half the problem with passing exams was the poor English/grammar in them, that said we had "practice" exams that were almost word for word. I don't know about CPL but as previously mentioned I think you require an Airline to sponsor you for ATPL conversion and I don't know if anyone would hire a pilot with cpl only in HK. Certainly if you had to do it off your own bat it would be "interesting" to say the least
