Hi Tinu,

its good you mentioned abujaites coming together. When the idea was mentioned last year, the response wasn't too encouraging but now that we are back from christmas and newyear and fuel subsidy protest, we might as well meet. Why not. I will give you a shout shortly and any other abujaites, let's agree on a date and take it from there.

COMING TO CANADA WITH RIGHT ATTITUDE


Why?


It's not that technical skills aren't important, but they're much easier to assess (that's why attitude, not skills, is the top predictor of a new hire's success or failure). Virtually every job (from Doctor to engineer to Laborer) has tests that can assess technical proficiency. But what those tests don't assess is attitude; whether a candidate is motivated to learn new skills, think innovatively, cope with failure, assimilate feedback and coaching, collaborate with teammates, and so forth.


Soft skills are the capabilities that attitude can enhance or undermine. For example, a newly hired executive may have the intelligence, business experience and financial acumen to fit well in a new role. But if that same executive has an authoritarian, hard-driving style, and they're being hired into a social culture where happiness and camaraderie are paramount, that combination is unlikely to work.


Additionally, many training programs have demonstrated success with increasing and improving skills—especially on the technical side. But these same programs are notoriously weak when it comes to creating attitudinal change. “We can change skill levels through training, but we can't change attitude.” Attitude is what today's companies are hiring for. And not just any attitude; companies want attitudes that perfectly match their unique culture. Google and Apple are both great companies, but their cultures are as different as night and day.

As the focus on hiring has shifted away from technical proficiency and onto attitude, it's precipitated a lot of tactical changes in how job interviews are conducted. For example, the new kinds of interview questions being asked are providing real information about attitude instead of the vague or canned answers hiring managers used to get. Smarter companies are less likely to rely on the old standby questions like “tell me about yourself” and “what are your weaknesses?” Companies now have answer keys by which to accurately rate candidate's answers. Interviewers can listen to candidates' verb tense and other grammar choices and make accurate determinations about someone's future performance potential.


Wishing you all Happy Valentine.

@ MOEGBENGA & LOOLO


Information for foreign-trained architects
Information on requirements to practise

The profession of architect is regulated in all provinces and territories in Canada. This means that, by law, no one can practise the profession of architect without a license. Provincial and territorial regulatory bodies of architects are responsible for setting the standards for entry into the profession and for issuing licenses to those who meet established standards of qualifications and practice. It is illegal to practise the profession or use the title of architect without being licensed as a full member in a provincial/territorial regulatory body.

Information on assessment of qualifications
Internationally-trained architects will need to contact the Canadian Architectural Certification Board to know how their educational qualifications would be assessed. Their address is as follows:

Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB)
710 - 1 Nicholas Street
Ottawa ON K1N 7B7 Canada
Phone : 613-241-8399
Fax : 613-241-7991
Email : info @ cacb.ca
http://www.cacb.ca/

This is the first step on the way to licensure, and it is mandatory to start the licensure/registration process in every province and territory in Canada. The assessment takes about three months from the date of submission of complete application.

The provincial and territorial associations are responsible for the two other steps (internships and examinations) of the process. For all general information requests related to academic qualifications, you are invited to contact the CACB.

Once you know where you will settle and work, you should contact the appropriate provincial/territorial regulatory body for information on licensing procedures (see list below).

The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada also provides information for foreign-trained architects who wish to practise their profession in Canada.

You may also consult the Fact Sheet No. 2 (at the link below), which has been compiled to help individuals learn more about how to obtain an assessment of their qualifications for employment purposes in Canada.

For a general description of duties and employment requirements, you can refer to the information prepared by HRSDC regarding Architects.

I thought u had gone past MR, or may be am mistaking u for omoge. Whichever, please get the hard copy of the statement from your bank. It is adjudged more reliable than the online printout. Pa Seglad idea of getting it signed is a good one though. But, talking from experience it is better you get the hard copy from your bank.
Congratulation you are almost there.
