Candidates may not need prior work experience for some categories; however, Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled category applicants require B.C. work experience. Candidates may have work experience from abroad; and recent international graduates of a Canadian post-secondary institution may not need any work experience, depending on the job being offered.

TERF Alert

The American Anthropological Association and Canadian Anthropology Society recently canceled a session from their joint annual meeting. The title of the session was “Let’s Talk about Sex Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology”. It was canceled as being anti-trans and contrary to current research without being supported by countervailing research. Of course the panel members immediately started screaming, "Help, help, we're being oppressed," and Reich Wing media jumped all over it.

Let's take a look at the panel and their topics. Silvia Carrasco was going to talk about how violence against women can't be properly addressed without focusing on biological sex. Kathleen Richardson was going to talk about how including trans women is erasing gender disparity in IT (Apparently arguing the number of trans women in IT is statistically significant. Right.). Michèle Sirois was going to talk about how the Canadian surrogacy industry exploits poor women (OK, trans women can't be included in this group, but a large number of cis women can't be included as well, whether biologically because they are not reproductive, or economically because they are not poor. Frankly, the problem she is studying is far less biologically based than economically based. Surrogacy is another of a broad range of mechanisms for exploiting disadvantaged groups.). Also on the panel was Elizabeth Weiss of the Heterodox Academy, an "advocacy" group founded to combat the sham issue of conservatives being excluded from academe (It was cofounded by Jonathan Haidt and Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz. Haidt co-authored The Coddling of the American Mind, a by-the-numbers rant decrying the "suppression" of free speech on college campuses and trotting out the usual Reich Wing straw men of "trigger words" and "safe spaces" while conveniently ignoring the real message of "You no longer get to shovel hate just because you're a cishet, white, Christian male, and if you try, you're going to get blowback." Rosenkranz testified to Congress against the nominations of Loretta Lynch as AG and Sonia Sotomayor to SCOTUS and is regularly cited by Alito and Thomas.). Carole Hooven of the American Enterprise Institute was supposed to speak but withdrew prior to the cancelation.

Organizing this panel was Kathleen Lowrey, whose recent publications include "Trans Ideology and the New Ptolemaism in the Academy", an extended whinge about her sacking as undergraduate programs chair in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alberta for her anti-trans views (or as she puts it, her "gender critical feminist views") masquerading as intellectual commentary, and "Gender Identity Ideology Conquers the World: Why Are Anthropologists Cheering?", an extended whinge about cancel culture. She is routinely platformed on the anti-trans Canadian site Gender Dissent, and she was principal organizer of the anti-trans hate group Women's Declaration International (fka Women's Human Rights Campaign).

It is quite apparent, then, the panel was canceled because it was platforming political rants and not scholarly research. This is a problem in the social "sciences" that is only getting worse (For nearly a half-century I've been of the firm opinion that "social science" is an oxymoron. There is no meaningful way to apply the crux of the scientific method, control and variable experimentation, to any significant issue in any of the social studies. Being degreed in two such fields [history and political science] and regularly called on to work in another [economics/finance], I have some idea. One of the purposes of scientific research is to predict how things will behave. Put X load on this material, it will break. Combine these chemicals, and you will get a reaction producing Y. While data in the social studies can be used successfully to create occurrence models ["This is what happened."], they are far less successful at creating causation models ["This is why this happened."] and abysmal at creating predictive models ["This is what is going to happen."]. For example an economist will say, "If price goes up, demand will go down. Unless there are other, not terribly measurable factors at work such as elasticity, utility, oligopoly and collusion, logistic disruption, etc., etc., etc."). "Scientists" in the social studies sound increasingly like "creation scientists" (speaking of oxymorons), decrying their research being "canceled" while conveniently omitting mention of their research ignoring or misrepresenting all current work while clinging to anachronistic theories, methods, and data (and nondata). People like those on this panel push their political agendas while ignoring actual research by actual scientists.

Meanwhile, if you want a thorough takedown of Women's Declaration International, I suggest you check Susan Duffy's blog:

Leduc-raised director set to premiere short film at Edmonton International Film Festival

Seeing his short film on the big screen has been a long time coming for Leduc-raised director Matt Prazak.

After filming in July 2021, Theft will finally find audiences when it debuts at the Edmonton International Film Festival (EIFF) Sept. 26.

The film stars Shaun Johnston of Heartland fame and his real-life son Shea, and follows a man in his sixties living with Alzheimer’s and his struggle to decipher the world around him. It has recently been nominated for four Rosie’s at the upcoming Alberta Media Production Industries Association Awards, including Best Male Performance and Best Scripted Production Under 30 Minutes.

“I personally love to tell these small, intense stories but still trying to capture it as big as possible. I tell everyone I’m always chasing the big little moment,” Prazak said.

Prazak grew up in Leduc alongside his three siblings and decided to pursue film after enrolling in the media studies and the film & television broadcast program at Leduc Composite High School. From there Prazak made his way to the film and video production program at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) in Calgary — where he has resided ever since.

“I remember going to Leduc Cinemas often as a kid and just being enamoured by what I was watching,” Prazak said. ”Leduc has always been in my heart. I feel like so many of my projects are influenced by my time [there].”

Prazak has specialized in drama, where he finds he can achieve a lot with a little and pull the best performances he can from the character-driven roles. His main director influences include Richard Linklater and Sarah Polley.

Alongside the release of the film, Prazak is working with Anything for Alzheimer’s to fundraise and raise awareness for the Alzheimer’s Society of Alberta and Northwest Territories.

“I always felt like this had to be a two-for-one scenario where I wanted to make the short film but I also wanted to do a fundraiser and try to achieve something bigger [to] combine art with activism,” Prazak said.

Last month Prazak won season 15 of CBC’s Short Film Face Off for his film Landline, earning him $30,000 towards his next production — a feature film that he plans to announce soon.

“It’s pivotal to me to tell stories in Alberta and have even the smallest impact on the independent scene here,” Prazak said. “I’d like to make stuff that can be shown to wider audiences in Leduc and then hopefully peak a few younger kids interests and show them that this is something that’s possible.”

Candidates may not need prior work experience for some categories; however, Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled category applicants require B.C. work experience.

Canadian Immigration for Indians: Eligibility, Programs & Tips

Canada has emerged as one of the top destinations for Indian immigrants seeking better opportunities, quality of life, and a welcoming environment. With its robust economy, diverse culture, and progressive immigration policies, Canada continues to attract skilled professionals, students, and families from around the world, including India. In this blog, we'll explore the eligibility criteria, various immigration programs, and some tips for Indian individuals considering a move to Canada.

Eligibility for Canadian Immigration

Age, Education, and Work Experience

To be eligible for Canada immigration, applicants often need to meet certain criteria related to age, education, and work experience. Many immigration programs prioritize younger individuals with higher education and relevant work experience in occupations that are in demand in Canada.

Language Proficiency

Proficiency in English or French is crucial for most immigration pathways. Applicants are usually required to take language proficiency tests such as IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or CELPIP (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program) for English and TEF (Test d'Évaluation de Français) for French.

Health and Character Requirements

Immigrants must undergo medical examinations and provide police certificates to prove good health and character. Certain health conditions or criminal records may affect eligibility for immigration.

Canadian Immigration Programs for Indians

Express Entry System

The Express Entry system is a popular pathway for skilled workers to immigrate to Canada. It manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Candidates create an online profile and are ranked based on factors like age, education, work experience, and language proficiency.

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)

PNPs allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals for immigration based on their specific labor market and economic needs. Many provinces have streams tailored for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and students. Indian immigrants can explore PNPs like the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP), British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), and Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP), among others.

Family Sponsorship

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their family members for immigration to Canada. This includes spouses, partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents. Family sponsorship provides a pathway for Indian families to reunite and settle in Canada.

Study Permits

Indian students can pursue higher education in Canada by obtaining study permits. Canada's universities and colleges offer a wide range of programs and opportunities for international students. Upon graduation, students may be eligible for post-graduation work permits and pathways to permanent residency.

Tips for Indian Immigrants

Research Immigration Programs

Take the time to research and understand the various immigration programs available. Each program has its own requirements, eligibility criteria, and application processes. Choose the program that best suits your qualifications, skills, and goals.

Improve Language Skills

Language proficiency is a key factor in Canada immigration. Invest time in improving your English or French language skills by taking language courses and practicing regularly. Higher language scores can enhance your Express Entry profile and overall chances of success.

Obtain Educational Credential Assessments (ECAs)

For Express Entry and some provincial programs, applicants must obtain Educational Credential Assessments (ECAs) to evaluate their foreign educational credentials against Canadian standards. Ensure you have the necessary ECAs for your qualifications.

Build Canadian Experience

Gaining Canadian work experience through programs like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or post-graduation work permits can strengthen your profile and increase your points under Express Entry. Consider internships, co-op programs, or volunteer work to gain valuable experience.

Seek Professional Advice

Navigating the Canadian immigration process can be complex. Consider seeking guidance from licensed immigration consultants or lawyers who can provide personalized advice and assistance with applications, and help you understand your options.

In conclusion, Canada immigration offers promising opportunities for Indians seeking to build a better future in a diverse and inclusive society. By meeting eligibility criteria, exploring relevant immigration programs, and following these tips, Indian immigrants can embark on a successful journey to Canada. Remember to plan, stay informed, and make informed decisions to make your Canadian dream a reality.

6 Routes for IT Professionals to Attain Canada PR

Are you an IT professional dreaming of making Canada your permanent home? Canada offers various pathways for skilled workers like you to obtain  Canada PR. With its robust economy and vibrant tech industry, Canada welcomes skilled IT professionals from around the globe. Here are six straightforward routes you can consider to make your PR dreams a reality.

Express Entry System: The Express Entry system is the most popular pathway for skilled workers, including IT professionals, to immigrate to Canada. It manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. To apply, you need to create an online profile, score points based on factors like education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability, and enter the Express Entry pool. Candidates with the highest scores receive invitations to apply for PR through regular draws conducted by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Many Canadian provinces and territories have their own immigration programs, known as Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). These programs allow provinces to nominate individuals with skills and experience targeted by their local labor markets for PR. Several provinces, such as Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, have specific streams or categories tailored for IT professionals. By securing a provincial nomination, you receive additional points in the Express Entry system, significantly enhancing your chances of obtaining PR.

Global Talent Stream: The Global Talent Stream (GTS) is a fast-track work permit program designed to attract skilled workers to Canada's tech sector. If you secure a job offer from a Canadian employer through the GTS, you may be eligible for expedited processing of both your work permit and PR application. This stream is particularly advantageous for IT professionals with specialized skills and experience sought by Canadian tech companies.

Atlantic Immigration Pilot: The Atlantic Immigration Pilot (AIP) is a collaboration between the Canadian government and the Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. Under this pilot program, designated employers in the Atlantic region can hire foreign workers, including IT professionals, to fill skill shortages. If you receive a job offer from a designated employer, you can apply for PR through the AIP stream, provided you meet the program's eligibility criteria.

Startup Visa Program: If you're an IT entrepreneur looking to launch a startup in Canada, the Startup Visa Program could be your pathway to PR. This program aims to attract innovative entrepreneurs with the potential to build dynamic businesses in Canada. To qualify, you need to secure a commitment from a designated Canadian venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator, demonstrating your business idea's viability. If your application is successful, you and your family members can obtain PR and embark on your entrepreneurial journey in Canada.

Canadian Experience Class (CEC): If you've gained skilled work experience in Canada, particularly in the IT sector, the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) could be your ticket to PR. This program is specifically for individuals with at least one year of full-time skilled work experience in Canada. By leveraging your Canadian work experience, language proficiency, and other factors, you can apply for PR under the CEC stream. This pathway is particularly appealing for temporary foreign workers and international students who have already integrated into Canadian society and the labor market.

In conclusion, Canada offers multiple pathways for IT professionals to obtain permanent residency, reflecting the country's commitment to attracting and retaining top talent in the tech industry. Whether you qualify for the Express Entry system, provincial nominee programs, specialized streams like the Global Talent Stream, or targeted initiatives such as the Startup Visa Program, there's a pathway tailored to your skills and aspirations. By exploring these options and taking proactive steps towards your  Canada PR  goals, you can pave the way for a rewarding and fulfilling career in Canada's thriving IT sector.

Canada’s Record-Breaking Immigration Plans for 2024

Canada’s Record-Breaking Immigration Plans for 2024 : Your Path to a Better Life

Canada is without a doubt one of the most popular destinations for anyone looking to relocate. And so, living in Canada has numerous advantages, such as superior lifestyle and educational opportunities. If you’ve always wanted to move to Canada but don’t know how then you’ve come to the correct location. In 2023, Canada expects to welcome 465,000 new immigrants; by 2024, that number will reach 485,000. Canada is largely dependent upon immigration as a result of its workforce shortage. Furthermore, Canada already broke the previous record for annual permanent residents in 2021 and 2022. It also intends to smash records once more in the upcoming years.

Every individual has a distinct profile. Thus you should select the option that best fits you depending on your profile. Relocating to Canada can’t be done in one easy step. Nonetheless, it is the ideal time to outline your immigration journey because the goals for immigration are higher.

All of the options for moving to Canada in 2023 are listed in this article.

Express Entry (EE)

Under this program, skilled foreign people are permitted to reside and work in Canada. You can apply for permanent residency in Canada under this scheme and receive it in as little as six months. Furthermore, Canada intends to welcome 500,000 newcomers by 2025. One of the three Express Entry streams will be used by the majority of these immigrants:

Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)

The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)

The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Additionally, 16 additional occupations are now eligible for Express Entry through the Federal Skilled Worker Program as a result of the recent introduction of the new NOCs (2021). A few professions are those of truck drivers, nurses, teachers, and so forth.

You must first be eligible under one of Canada’s three federal streams listed above in order to apply under EE. You then have to make an internet profile. The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) of Canada assigns a score to this profile. If you rank among the top applicants in the Express Entry pool, you receive an invitation to apply.

Reaching the CRS deadlines can present some challenges.  However, a province may nominate you for permanent residency just for being a part of the candidate pool. For one applicant, the normal cost of immigration via Express Entry is roughly $2,300 CAD. Should you be relocating together, the approximate cost could be $4,500 CAD.

Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs

Using the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is another popular route to immigration to Canada. By 2025, Canada hopes to accept 117,500 new immigrants under PNPs. There are numerous nominee programs in each province and territory. Hence, in 2023, the combined might of Canada’s PNPs will be the only economic force greater than Express Entry. Every program has distinct requirements for enrollment. To apply for nomination, for example, you may be required under certain programs to be connected to the province. To further qualify, you may require a work offer from a Canadian business. However, for some programs, foreign applicants are invited if they can fill the labor market demand in the province.

The PNP programs for each province are listed below:

Alberta Advantage Immigrant Program (AAIP)

British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP)

Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP)

New Brunswick Provincial Nominee Program (NBPNP)

Nova Scotia Provincial Nominee Program (NSPNP)

Northwest Territories Nominee Program (NTNP)

Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

Prince Edward Island Provincial Nominee Program (PEI PNP)

Quebec Skilled Workers Program (QSWP)

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

Yukon Nominee Program (YNP)

Every PNP has a unique processing duration. You must submit an application for permanent residency in Canada to the federal government after receiving a nomination. Additionally, some PNP components are covered by Express Entry. Therefore, there are distinct streams for the federally run selection process for each of the aforementioned provincial programs.

Applying through a PNP typically costs the same as using Express Entry. Nevertheless, additional costs may apply, based on the province. While some jurisdictions, like Ontario, do not charge a fee for processing PNP applications, others do charge as much as $1,500 CAD.

Sponsorship for Family

Family reunification is prioritized in Canada’s immigration policy. Families in Canada have the option of sponsoring their relatives’ immigration. Therefore, this may be the simplest route for you to come to Canada if you have a qualifying family member who is a PR or citizen of Canada. Sponsoring a relative will set you back about $1,135 CAD. But there can be extra fees if the sponsor resides in Quebec.  Numerous initiatives assist citizens and PRs in relocating their family here. This program’s two main categories are:

Partners, Spouses, and Children:

Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan includes children, spouses, and partners and plans to accept 78,000 of these newcomers by 2023. You can sponsor your partner from outside or within Canada under the Spouse and Partner Stream. This is available through the Canada Class Spouse or Common-Law Partner. Also, you may be eligible for a work permit while you wait for your application to be completed. The entire application processing process takes around a year. A youngster must typically be less than 22 in order to qualify for sponsorship. They should not be married or in a relationship of their own.

Parents and Grandparents:

In Canada, the process of sponsoring parents and grandparents is done by a lottery. A sponsor may express interest in a particular pool. An invitation to apply is sent out along with a random drawing of these applications. In the past, this steam has generated debate. This is a result of the majority of oversubscription. Since 2020, this pool has not been accepting new sponsors. Since then, though, three batches of sponsors have been invited to submit applications. The IRCC may shortly announce the opening of a new window for the submission of sponsorship interest forms in 2023. As an alternative, PGP hopefuls may apply for a Super visa to allow their grandparents and parents to visit Canada.
