Foreign credentials recognition gets federal fast track

Foreign credentials recognition gets federal fast track

VANCOUVER – Many profes­sionals from different countries, especially Asian immigrants, may soon be able to practice their re­spective professions in Canada. This positive development comes as Jason Kenney , Min­ister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, unveiled some positive changes to foreign credential recognition. Kenney announced recently that skilled immigrants in Canada will be able to access the help needed to jump-start their creden­tial recognition process through expanded overseas orientation services. “We want newcomers to be able to use their skills as soon as possible in Canada,” said Ken­ney. “This funding will help them jump-start the credential recogni­tion process before they arrive in Canada. It’s good for them and good for the Canadian economy.”

PINOY TRIVIA

KNUCKLE NOISE

Q. What cause one’s knuckle to crack?
A. Your finger bones are sepa­rated by small pads of cartilage, and in between these pads and the bones are small pockets of thick liquid. When you bend your fin­gers, the bones pull away slightly from the pads of cartilage, forming a vacuum between the bone, the pad, and the surfaces of the liquid. AS the bending continues and the bones are pulled farther apart, the surface tension of the liquid even­tually gives way and the vacuum bubble bursts, making the crack­ing sound you hear. read more
