hi farukh and other members

i was filling up form Schedule A Background / Declaration for myself. i have a couple of doubts..

1. question no 5 : personal details of your mother - Family Name at Birth and Given Names - my doubt is, is this the name as specified on my mothers birth certificate. my fathers name will not be included in the first name right.

2. question no 7 : Education - in India Primary education will be 4 years and Secondary education will be 6 years right? Also can we count anything for distance education. i am doing distance mba since dec - 2010. also my wife has done bcom (fulltime 5 years) and mcom part 1 as distance (1 year) and now doing CA final. what are the years that i can show in the education question.

i hope i get some answer.

Sorry for the late response. I shall only be privileged to as 1 as am not from India.

Question 1: you should write your mother's Maiden name( this is her surname in her father's house)

Sorry Spicey & Hey Keyur - Mothers maiden name is the name given before Marriage (as in her school certificates).....U r rite , Fathers name will not be included...

School ed - 12 years + 3 yrs for degree = 15 years + 2 yrs (MBA) = 17 yrs

Hi Friends,

Any news about any changes in the CIC ??? ??? ??? ???....
 
Dear all,,


What does it mean???


In the end, the federal government solved the problem of Canada's eight-year-long, 284,000-applicant immigration backlog the simplest way possible: it erased it

Ottawa has cancelled applications that predated Feb. 27, 2008, telling applicants they are welcome to apply again and promising to refund the collective $130 million in fees they paid to apply under the Federal Skilled Worker Program.

It might have been fairer for the government to sift through the waiting list for particularly worthy candidates, but the list had become so long that just starting over made pragmatic sense. The government's goal of creating a “fast and flexible economic immigration system” could never get off the ground as long as the enormous backlog existed.

There are compelling reasons for an overhaul that includes prioritizing younger immigrants with Canadian experience and knowledge of French and English. Canada's employers have long complained of a mismatch between available jobs and the skilled workers admitted under the current point system; they are now also warning of a looming skills shortage. Meanwhile, recent immigrants who have arrived in Canada without knowing English or French, or without job skills that are in demand, are struggling financially.

A critically important area that still needs to be addressed is recognition of foreign credentials. Canada, like other developed nations, is anxious to admit as many professionals and highly skilled workers as it can. But when they get here, these workers must have their credentials accepted by the notoriously self-protective professional bodies of each province. The taxi driver with a PhD in physics is not an urban myth. The federal government is right to want to put an end to that kind of waste of human potential and training.

But it isn't obvious how Ottawa can revamp this part of the system. Professional bodies are under the control of provinces, not the federal government. The professional orders have the authority to set entry requirements and standards of practice, assess applicants' qualifications, credentials and work experience and register or license applicants whom they judge qualified.

Unfortunately, professional bodies are not always free of bias. In 2010, the Quebec Human Rights Commission found that foreigntrained doctors faced discrimination when they applied for residency, a final stage of training before they are licensed. That year only seven per cent of Quebec physicians in residency were foreign-trained, compared to 20 per cent in Ontario.

To counter this kind of parochialism, Ottawa wants to work with the provinces and employers across the country to set up a pool of skilled workers who could be deployed quickly wherever their skills are needed. As a theory it sounds fine, except that workers tend to have their own ideas about what they want to do and where they want to live.

One measure that will not fail is the government's plan to conduct a pre-assessment of applicants before they submit their application. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the idea is to “be more upfront and honest” with would-be immigrants, screening out those who don't have the requisite job or language skills. What would make this initiative even better would be to include a warning that the federal government does not have the final word – that the provinces and the professional orders do. Call it truth in recruiting.

Hi there,
I think for all regulated occupations just like us, they want us to assess our credentials before we go to canada, so that we can get jobs asap, its for their best and ours too, they are copying the australian experience in immigration and that was the cause for me to choose canada over australia, but it seems its not the case now

I think we should work on our credential assessment now, or we will not be able to go
