If you have a Federal Skilled Worker Class application filed after February 27, 2008 and your occupation is included in the list of 38 high demand occupations, you will soon receive a notice from the Visa Office requiring you to submit supporting documents and new sets of application forms. The Visa Office in Manila is now sending their notices.
This is an excerpt from the sent by the Visa Office to our clients:We have assessed your declared occupation(s) against the list of eligible occupations identified by the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism and published in the Canada Gazette on 28 November 2008. Your application is being considered for further assessment by our office. You are therefore requested to submit a full application.
Submitting your Full Application
Go to www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp to download the Federal Skilled worker guide and application forms.
Your full application must consist of the following:
You have 120 days from the date of this letter to prepare and submit these forms and supporting documentation. If your full application is not received within this time, we will assume you are no longer interested and close your file. Documents must be submitted in a SINGLE package. Do not submit any documents until you have prepared the entire package. We will make a decision on your application on the basis of the documents you provide at that time.
Please note, however, that this is not a guarantee that your application will be approved. So please do not dispose of any of your properties if that is what you intend to do.
Furthermore, since Philippines is not considered majority English-speaking country, it is highly recommended for you to take IELTS Examination.
Last month, somebody from www.notcanada.com sent me an email about the Top 8 Reasons not to Immigrate to Canada. I replied back by sending the post I made several months ago and never heard from them again.
Immigration to Canada is a major decision and you should always ask yourself, Why do you want to do this? Are you doing this for the right reason? If you are looking for opportunity to have a better quality of life for your family and you are willing to do everything in your power to achieve it, then Canada may be for you. Having a better quality of life in Canada as an immigrant requires sacrifice.
It can not be denied that racism exists even in Canada. However, if you are looking for a place where discrimination is inexistent, you may be ending up staying where you are. 
Since 1996, the Racism. Stop It! National Video Competition has been key event in the March 21 campaign.
March 21 is designated by the United Nations (UN) as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It’s a day observed all around the world to focus attention on the problems of racism and the need to promote racial harmony.
The UN made this designation in 1966 to mark a tragic event that took place on March 21, 1960 in Sharpeville, South Africa when 69 peaceful demonstrators were killed during a protest against apartheid.
Canada was one of the first countries to support the UN initiative and launched its first annual campaign against racial discrimination in 1989.

The 2010 Winter Olympics that will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia will definitely create employment opportunities in construction, retail trade, and the tourist industry. Both locals and aspiring temporary foreign workers will benefit from this.
For those in Canada who wants to work with Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, click here to look for opportunities.
TheStar reported that it is estimated that B.C. will need 30,000 more tourism workers by 2015 based on a Conference Board of Canada report. While the study was released prior to the economy's sharp decline, industry experts still believe a significant shortfall will exist for two reasons: the impending retirement of baby boomers and the legacy of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

To visit Canada to watch the Winter Olympics, here's a tourist visa application guide.
Skilled workers planning to apply for permanent residence in Quebec must first apply to the Quebec government for a certificate of selection (Certificat de sélection du Québec). This is because under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec establishes its own immigration requirements and selects immigrants who will adapt well to living in Quebec.
Here's the 6 steps procedure that will guide you on your application:
1. Finding out about Québec
Do you like the idea of living in Québec? Have you thought about everything that this change in your life will involve? Getting the facts is a simple and inexpensive way to determine if your immigration plan is feasible.
2. Evaluating online your chances of being selected by Québec
You may already fill out the Preliminary Evaluation for Immigration (PEI). This online tool enables you to evaluate your chances of being selected by Québec. Obtain an immediate response free of charge!
3. Submitting an official immigration application
Find out about the steps to follow to submit an official application.
4. Preparing before departure to make your integration into Québec easier
While waiting to obtain your permanent resident visa, take the time to prepare yourself and take certain steps before leaving. This will make it that much easier for you to integrate into Québec life.
5. Proceeding to the Immigration-Québec office upon arrival at the airport
You have reached your destination! Get an overview of the entry and reception formalities.

Previously I've posted an entry about International English Language Testing System (IELTS) telling you that it is not mandatory. It remains to be true even after the Ministerial instructions affecting the new Federal Skilled Worker program. However, please note that Citizenship and Immigration Canada strongly suggests that you provide the results if English or French is not your first language.
There is also a new points system for your IELTS exam results:
(General
Training)
(maximum of 2)
The following are considered majority English-speaking countries and may be allowed to submit alternative documentation to support English language proficiency:
But just the same, it is always best to take the IELTS Exam. It is also best to undergo IELTS review and test simulation before taking the actual examination.
