Skilled immigrants earn
less than half the money, on
average, earned by their
Canadian-educated counterparts.
Only one in four manages to
obtain a licence in one of
Ontario’s 37 regulated
professions, compared with 60
per cent of Canadian grads. And
that licence may take two years
to get, compared with less than
a year for native-born
Canadians.
Many women from visible
minority groups say they have
difficulty getting a
primary-care physician or
specialists to address urgent
health concerns or to monitor
chronic medical conditions, a
study has found.
The report shows one in three
South Asian, West Asian and Arab
women — who together comprise
one of the fastest-growing
segments of Canada’s population
— have trouble finding a doctor,
getting an appointment or
getting referred to specialists.
Language is not the biggest
barrier, but navigating the
licensing system is, for many
internationally trained
professionals, according to a
new study released today, March
30.
As the Toronto District School
Board faces dozens of school
closures in the coming years
from falling enrolment, some
have warned of a fire sale of
public schools into private
hands.

400 odd spectators, gathered at the IEAS Quadrangle on

Jesus' to life with their soul-stirring presentation
entitled, 'The Last Journey - A Meditative walk with our

remark that 'it was almost like seeing the real Jesus
walking to his death along the Via Dolorosa'.

STROKE
IDENTIFICATION
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and
took a little fall - she assured everyone
that she was fine (they offered to call
paramedics) she said she had just tripped
over a brick because of her new shoes. They
got her cleaned up and got her a new plate
of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up,
Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest
of the evening
Mumbai, March 14 -
IPL fever has gripped the nation, but unfortunately,
students have to grapple with the exam fever. The exam
season is back, it's that time of the year when one can
feel the anxiety in every inch of one's body! So, what's
a student to do? Most starve because they are busy
cramming or lose their appetites. Adults often advise
children that one needs to fuel the body with foods that
energise during the exam phase.
The federal government is putting its foot down on
fraudulent or forced marriages entered into for the sake
of getting into Canada.
Under proposed new regulations, immigration officials
will now more easily be able to refuse a spousal
immigration application if they believe the marriage was
entered into in “bad faith.”
When I feel tired, I can't do much of
anything right. I drop things. I say stupid
stuff. And I eat with abandon, unable to
resist most temptations.So I made getting
more sleep a key component of my
"Me
Minus 10" campaign to lose 10
pounds before I turn 50. It just seemed
obvious that being well rested would help me
control my diet. And I did something a
journalist never should: I assumed there was
science to back me up.
If there’s one big workplace lie that any new manager should
wise up to fast, it’s “There are no office politics here.”
Higher-ups may do their best to discourage gossip and to
foster a schmooze-free meritocracy, but let’s be honest:
There’s no workplace on the planet where fostering good
relationships isn’t key to getting things done.
