Q: I am leaving my current school, do they have the right to retain my foreign experts certificate?

I am leaving my current school after 2 years there and now they are asking for me to return my FEC once I have a new school. I have been told this isn't allowed as it is mine. They are threatening to withhold a portion of my last pay packet until it is returned. Any advice?

Actually the FEC is their property, it must be cancelled in order for you to transfer schools. No worries, make a copy, if you read the FEC statement, it says that all FEC's must be returned before exiting China.

It must be returned to the employer. They cannot withhold part of your pay, but under the new visa laws, they can make things very hard for you, by making complaint against you. Just give it back to them.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
