this is some good information guess i need to start looking into this.Solesilence said:lol where exactly is this thread going?
Jobs, jobs, jobs....
well I think first and foremost if anyone has higher education in their home countries then they should get their education certified/converted by the CES (<--was that a smart idea?) Apparently the receipt they give you will be accepted anywhere (educational institutes, jobs) as an equivalent to the degree.
so you did your masters back home but your education doesn't count when you go in for a job interview? fill out the form and apply with the CES. Within a few weeks they'll send you a certified receipt claiming that say for example your masters holds at least a BA value in Canada, so at the very least in the next job interview you can show this Canadian certification instead of nothing.
cons? its around $260. But i think it's well worth it.
I haven't actually heard of anyone certifying their degree with this but then again I've never really inquired.

so that'll be our stage one for sure
I'm surprised that you didn't know about educational equivalency before this. I think it is mentioned at every immigration site.co16062012 said:

I would like to volunteer my time telling people that the letter D is not equivalent to a T+H, and that unlike on the game show "Wheel of Fortune", vowels are free! No need to compensate with earniings, I would be rewarded with easy comprehensible reading.... ;D
"Yer" is not a word. "B" is a letter of the alphabet, not a verb. "4" is a number, not a word denoting ownership. Lastly, "B4" is a character from Star Trek: Nemesis, not a way of indicating a event has already occured.MadeInCanada said:Feeling a little on the snarky side this evening....

I hate "text talk" and "leet speak."
What's worse is I have a friend, who is very intelligent, has a diploma, takes courses at U of C constantly, but still uses text talk when she texts me. I want to beat her with my broom.
However, my least favorite is "PLZ" especially when it's in all caps and repeated: "PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ." You know what? You're too lazy to write the word "please" out and make a nice, polite statement. You're probably too lazy to help yourself, which is why you're on the internet begging others. NO, I will NOT help you! Grrrr!
PS: I understand typos, non-native speakers, and brainfarts. Those are okay.
