OTTAWA
- About 100,000 immigrants will be allowed to apply
to Canada under an easier set of rules, Immigration
Minister Denis Coderre announced Thursday.
A tougher
immigration law that became effective in the spring
of 2002 had required that backlogged applicants
qualify under the new rules. Critics had complained
that this was unfair to applicants who had applied
before the rules came into effect. "We are
meeting the needs of many new immigrants coming
to Canada," Coderre said Thursday. Coderre
also announced he's lowering the pass mark for assessing
immigrants. Applicants requiring 75 points in a
rating system measuring education and job skills
can now qualify with 67 points.

The
75th anniversary of the Dr. Ribeiro Goan School took
place over the weekend starting Friday Sept. 12th
and ending this Sunday evening.
An
enjoyable time was had by yours truly and witnessed
the same by others. The semi-permanent smiles borne
by most over the three days was testament to that
fact.
On
talking to many of the people over the three days,
the overall concensus was that the anniversary celebrations
were a great success. Kudos to the Organizing Committee.
