HKCAD ATPL/CPL Conversion Currency?

Can anybody tell me what the currency requirements are for converting a foreign (FAA ATPL) into a HKCAD ATPL or CPL?

I have found the hour requirements here:
Pilot Licences

But what about currency?

Mil, all I can tell you is :
With a foreign ( Oz ) ATPL there is 5-8 exams ( inc type exam for the type you will be flying ) depending on experience ( jet time = less exams )
I think CAD will only give ATPL to pilots with jet time, t/prop guys get CPL initially ?
Sorry, not sure about currency as everyone I know was employed flying before they came here, but would'nt the company you are going to fly for take care of any currency issues with sim training, base training etc ?
Cheers

You can get a ATPL if u just have Turbo prop time, as long as u have 2 crew turbo prop time over 5700 kg.
I have heard of un currents guy/gals getting conversions before. Like Fooey said, getting a job in Honkers will involve sim training/ Licence checks so that will get you current.

I don't have any problem with currency yet, but depending on how many years go by before CX starts classes again - I could run into a staff tour with limited flying or just SE prop flying. Hopefully we will see some classes in 2010.

That would have to be PIC I reckon FM ?

Mil, if you get hired by CX then I don't think currency will be an issue.
