Nipawin Journal — Wanted: One skilled worker (Times one million)
Submitted by Tim Paetkau
SKILLS CANADA wants to change the way Canadians think about jobs! Most parents (myself included) seem to think that a university training for our sons and daughters will give them the "best" chance at a rewarding and good paying career. While no one could argue that this type of education is important, we must realize that there is an increasing need for skilled trades people. An estimated shortfall of one million skilled workers is expected if Canadians do not see the writing on the wall and check out the skilled trades.
An old saying states: "If you think the price of an education is high - just try ignorance."
SKILLS Nipawin would like to add: "If you think that finding a plumber is tough today -- just wait for tomorrow."
Since 1998 SKILLS Saskatchewan has been promoting trades and technology for the students of our province. SKILLS CANADA is a Trades Olympics where our students can compete in a skill that might later lead to a great job.
L.P. Students Are Ready To Work!
Months of preparation will be put to the test on April 7 to 9 at Palliser Campus in Moose Jaw. Over three hundred students will gather there for Saskatchewan's eighth annual SKILLS CANADA event. Skills ranging from Welding to Prepared Speeches about how our youth is training for the workforce will be showcased. A huge Career Fair will exhibit over fifty trades, technologies and careers at the same location. L.P. Miller hopes to send up to 37 students this year! ...

Why people immigrate?
Why people immigrate
People immigrate for the following reasons:
professional,
political,
economic
persecution
sentimental (i.e., the desire to settle in a country due personal preference; family reunification).
Much immigration occurs for economic reasons. Wage rates vary greatly between different countries; individuals of third world countries in particular can have far higher standards of living in developed countries than in their originating countries. The economic pressure to migrate can be so high that when legal means are restricted, people may immigrate regardless of their legal status. In general, people are considered as an immigrant if they keep staying in the new country for more than one year.

Immigration
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Immigration is the act of moving to or settling in another country or region, temporarily or permanently. An immigrant is someone who intends to reside permanently, and not a casual visitor or traveler. Immigration means "in-migration" into a country, and is the reverse of emigration, or "out-migration." The long term and/or permanent movement of human population in general, whether into, out of, or within countries (or before the existence of recognised countries) is regarded as migration.
