Will you be able to find a job in Canada?

   All professions in Canada are divided into two types, adjustable and non-adjustable. The regulated professions are those that involve activities related to the provision of services, which can affect the safety and health of citizens. By unregulated - all the rest.

   Regulated professions in the Canadian labor market of about 20%. The list is determined by the administrative authorities of each province alone. Moreover, the regional authorities have also set their own requirements for the qualification of applicants, their level of education, the terms of the recognition of diplomas and a list of licensed activities. Therefore, to obtain a license or right to engage in a regulated profession Applicants may be asked to:

       Confirmed previous education;

       Additional training;

       To pass the certification examination;

       Probationary period;

  Pass the test on the professional language vocabulary.

Moreover, some of these measures may be paid and fairly expensive.

If your occupation is one of the non-regulated, you do not need to obtain a license. However, employers are often carried out to re-enter the job interview and a variety of professional tests to verify their professional qualities. Applicants may also be asked to design a contract to pass the introductory training.

It should be borne in mind that many experts, arrived in Canada, trying to radically change their occupation.

If you are a programmer, you have to change your profession should not - in Canada is one of the highest paid professions. Special demand - for programmers who own C + + and Java. Good demand for programmers who own Visual Basic and database MS-SQL. There is a strong demand for programmers who own Cobol. It is also often require programmers who own such exotic countries of the former USSR languages ​​like PowerBuilder and SmallTalk. Almost always, there are proposals to programmers working on the mainframe (mainframe, such as the EU). Even in the course of CLIpper and FoxPro. Good chance for those who create applications «cLIent-server». Well quoted experts working in the environment of UNIX.

    An important addition: programmers in any association is not required to join. Even the confirmation of the diploma is not always required to do.

    If you have technical workers, you will not hurt AutoCAD knowledge and computer skills at the advanced user. Good to know the basics of programming in Visual Basic. Because the profession of engineer is one of the adjustable, so that you can work as an engineer, in addition to the need to recognize the diploma you must make a request to a professional association regarding the possibility of confirmation of your qualifications. Rely directly on the fact that you are accepted in good company with a good salary, is not necessary. Most of the companies in their ads on employment indicate that they need a certified specialist. So you and must start their professional association, to pass some exams and get a license. Experts economic professions must undergo additional training. Training is conducted in colleges for about six months. The most popular profession in Canada in the professional spectrum - an accountant. It should be noted that this profession is also one of the most highly paid and vysokovostrebovannyh. Many accountants are in private practice, and among Canadian activity that is considered one of the most profitable.

    There are also other areas where work successfully economists - in particular, financial advisors (financial adviser), banking specialists. All of these well-paid profession.

Enough good chance of translators, especially owning English and French. They are easy enough clerks arranged in a variety of companies and government agencies. In addition, they have a good opportunity to earn money in their spare time - in Toronto a lot of Russian immigrants, and the need for professional interpreters is high enough.

    To transfers made by you, are taken by the authorities, and you can assure them his seal, you must be a member of the Guild of translators. To join the Guild, you must provide documentation of their education, work experience and pay the annual fee. But being a member of the Guild reasonable when you are about to discover a translation agency. But being a member of the Guild reasonable when you are about to discover a translation agency. When a job is enough to present a diploma of education and demonstrate their skills.

    The hardest thing to get skilled human occupations. The most sensible way - in retraining. You can get a new job, but not all this is available - training is usually paid to the same essential living expenses. The easiest way to get a new profession - to go to work the insurance agent, real estate agent, an employee in the financial institutions. All the major companies all newly hired workers are powerful training. The lack of work in these organizations - work for a percentage of transactions. Also need to have a certain type of character to run the agent. This is one reason why the dropout rate in the first year is about 90-95%.

Another popular profession in Canada that does not require special education, is the work of a sales assistant (mainly wholesale goods) - salesman. Part of immigrants settles in dillershopah vendors, shops, etc.        However, most of the immigrants working sales consultants in companies engaged in the wholesale and small wholesale trade (trade in tires, building materials, industrial electronics, etc.).

    The most popular job for women - the secretary of the company. The secretary in Canada involves contact with customers, business correspondence, office work, prepare draft resolutions, etc. require good computer skills, knowledge of word processing, graphics programs sometimes, spreadsheets, databases, ability to deal with computer peripherals. Wage level is usually low - from 1200 to the beginning of his career up to 3500 dollars in a few years. You can get a job quickly enough

Medicine in Canada

   Before writing about how my wife was giving birth, I will write about medicine in general. I'm just amazed at the people who are not just unhappy with Canadian medicine and ardent advocate of her haters!
Sorry for that entry, I'm just like most Canadians, are happy and very much so with the way things work here. The only minus  that there is no desire to keep the child in the womb when the threat of miscarriage before 12 weeks of pregnancy. In the event of a threat in the hands of all women and how she insists on its treatment. But, all in order. Today I will write about health insurance.

   In Canada, the medicine is free, but not quite :) It all depends on the province. In Saskatchewan, for example, you are not paying for honey. insurance in general, and in British Columbia, it is worth $ 128 a month for a family of three, ie $ 1,536 per year. Not a little, but not much for the three of them, given the Canadian pay and level of service. As is the case in other provinces - I did not recognize.
This insurance does not cover dental and eye doctor, beautician and massage therapist, as well as for calling an ambulance will have to pay separately. Buying drugs, too, at his own expense, but the injections and pills that you are treated in a hospital, while you are under their roof, still covered by insurance. But after discharge, you are given a prescription for the necessary medication and you are buying them for their money.
   Basically, here to see prices you can not pay for insurance, but even the most usual method of family doctor (aka therapist) will cost you about $ 40-70 and above, the amount depends on the doctor or clinic. Choose you :)
If you are working on a fairly decent company, the more likely it will cover the cost of honey. insurance. Just like my husband's company pays insurance for the whole family, plus covers 80% of the dentists, 80% of the cost of prescription drugs by prescription, massage to a certain amount per person per year (about 5 sessions), an ambulance, VIP chambers in hospitals and more much of anything. We are very fortunate in this regard!
   Also, if you earning less than $ 33,000 per family per year, the state gives you a subsidy, ie you pay less and up to zero if the family income does not exceed $ 22,000 per year.
It seems to be told by health insurance, but should take into account the fact that each province can have their moments, at least now you know how things work in British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

You are lucky and you win. What's next?

 

    In contrast to the programs of previous years, the rules of the program DV-2014 does not provide for notice of winning people. You will have your own with 1 May 2013 to go to the U.S. State Department's website and by entering the unique number to see the result of the participation of your application.

   The continued success of the entire enterprise to a large extent depends on how quickly and efficiently you will prepare the necessary documents.

   The kit includes the necessary documents immigration forms, namely form OF-230, Parts 1 and 2 (Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration) form DSP-122 (additional registration to participate in the lottery), in which you will need to provide information Education, work experience and the supposed site of the interview.

   Pay special attention to some of the questionnaire. When asked about the time and dates of your previous stay in the United States is a very detailed answer - showing all the visits to America, their timing and even types of U.S. visas, the owner that you are. Responding to a question about your education, list all kinds of education you received in addition to the mean, the obligatory presence of the conditions demanded by the Lottery. Do not be put off by the question of your address in the U.S. or your relatives with whom you are going to reunite. In the case of this program this question does not apply to you, so you can bet in the box dash or nothing to write about. When asked about the expected duration of your stay in the U.S. safely answer "permanently" as Green Card, you expect to get a result, it is intended. Do not forget also that the forms should be completed by all members of your family who are going to move with you to America. By law, those may be the husband / wife of the principal applicant and unmarried children under the age of 21 years. Profiles of family members must be signed personally by them.

   We should also talk about the place of the interview, which each has won the right to call himself. By law you have the right to be interviewed either in the U.S. consulate abroad or at offices of Citizenship and Immigration Services United States (USCIS) directly in America. The second option is practiced infrequently - those who have received notification of a prize, already being in the U.S. (at work, treatment, study, at home). Of course, it does not make sense to spend money for the sake of the interview and the time to return home. If you - one of those "chosen", then you should immediately notify the CCC that you want to be interviewed (ie, change your status from nonimmigrant to immigration) in the United States in one of the offices of USCIS. But the vast majority of winners, of course, pass an interview at home.
Completed application forms must immediately send to the Kentucky Consular Center. Recall that to obtain an immigrant visa can only be within the fiscal year following the year of the Lottery. So you need as quickly as possible to send documents to the CCC and the end of September 2014 to pass an interview. Otherwise, your prize is canceled.

  Do not miss the sight of another fact. Immediately prior to the interview at the embassy every winner has to pay for participation in the state lottery. a fee of $ 819 to each family member. Accepts payments directly to the Consular Section of the American Embassy (in U.S. dollars). Note: The fee this year may change.

   Once the questionnaires sent to the CCC, you can only hope that you will quickly deployed, and that your documents get into the top 50 000 applications, which will make available an interview. The waiting time should be spent on the collection of documents for the final interview.

Who can participate in the program? What are the requirements to participants?

  Is there an age limit to participate in the lottery?

  No age restriction. However, the requirements for the level of education or experience may restrict the participation of persons under 18 years of age. It should be borne in mind that the lottery winner must provide documentary evidence of secondary education or experience is not at the time of the questionnaire, but only after being notified of winning the "Green Card". Thus, those who complete high school or gets a two-year work experience in 2011, can fill in a questionnaire and participate in the Lottery.

   What are the requirements for education or work experience?

  Apart from the usual requirements to all who wish to get a "green card" to win the lottery presented to one particular requirement. According to the law, to obtain a green card, winning the lottery may only persons with no education or below average, or a two-year work experience within the past five years in the specialty, requiring at least two years of study or two years of experience.

   High school education or its equivalent is the successful completion of a 12-year course of elementary and secondary school, the relevant certificate of completion of secondary school (high school degree) in the U.S. (equivalent to 10-year secondary education in Ukraine).

   The required length of service is determined according to the latest edition of the handbook (Dictionary of Occupational Titles) U.S. Department of Labor.

  Attention! Do not send proof of your education or work experience, along with the application. If your application is selected, Kentucky Consular Center will send you detailed instructions on what to do next. If your application is selected, but then it turns out that you do not meet the requirements, you will not be able to get a green card.

      Natives of which countries can participate in the lottery?

   Everyone, except Bangladesh, the UK (except Northern Ireland) and its colonies, Vietnam, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, India, Canada, China (except Hong Kong), Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador, the Philippines, South Korea, Jamaica, Pakistan. People born in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan can not participate in the lottery.

   Most often, the country of origin is the country where a person was born, regardless of where the person lives and what has citizenship. In addition, in accordance with regulation section 202 (b) of the Act the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act:
- An applicant for a visa DV-2013 can be specified as the country of origin of that country, which was born of his wife (her husband).
- The applicant, who was born in the country, a citizen or resident at the time of his birth was neither one of the parents, may be considered as a special country of origin is the one in which I was born one of his parents.

    Each applicant, who believes his native not the country where he was born, must specify this in the form of its members.

Which countries can participate in the Green Card Lottery?

   All countries of the world are divided into two groups: those with a high proportion of immigration in the United States and countries with a low proportion of immigration.
   Who defines it? This defines the U.S. Department of State on the basis of the actual number of natives of a country who have immigrated to the U.S. in recent years. Natives of countries with a low proportion of immigration can participate in the lottery, natives of countries with a high proportion may not. Example, Ukraine and most countries of the former Soviet Union are among the countries with a low share of immigration and, therefore, the natives of these countries can participate in the lottery.

What is a Green Card?

Green Card - it's immigration status in the United States, which provides the following rights:

    Living and working in the United States.
    Petition for U.S. citizenship after 5 years.
    To sponsor relatives to immigrate to the United States.
    Enter without visas in the countries with which the U.S. has signed the relevant agreement.
    Borrow money in U.S. banks at a very low annual interest (4% -6% per year).

In legal terms, the owner of Green Card is almost equivalent to a U.S. citizen, not having a right to vote.

   Throughout its history, the United States has been and remains a country which adds to its population is largely due to immigration, that is, moving people from other countries to live permanently in the United States. The U.S. policy on this issue has always been aimed at the continuation and increase of the process. Due to some reasons immigration to the United States from around the world has always been and remains uneven. Some countries, more people are coming, and some less.

   Wanting to be equitably apportion the share of natives of different countries of immigration to the United States, in 1990 Congress passed the Immigration Act Reformny on the Lottery "Green Invitation Ticket", which is designed to increase the diverse population of the United States. Each year, the United States of America play out 50,000 immigrant visas, entitling them to a permanent place of residence and work in the United States.

   Profiles that are registered in the prescribed time, differentiated by six (6) geographic region. Of the total number of participants who meet the requirements of the approved program, the computer randomly selected list of winners will be determined, ie, registered candidates for the DV-2014 visas.

   Lottery participants can check the result of his application to the May 1, 2013 by the U.S. State Department Web site. According to the rules of the program DV-2014, notice is sent is not about winning or the mail or by e-mail. U.S. embassies and consulates do not provide lists of selected candidates. Husbands or wives and unmarried children (under 21) of the eligible candidates can apply for a visa to travel to the United States, along with the principal applicant or accession at a later date.

   Getting away from the party to more than one form, the application for participation in the lottery results in disqualification.
