SOICS helps new Canadiansprepare for life in the OkanaganWhen Anupreet Grewal moved to Pentictonin 2012, South Okanagan Immigrant andCommunity Services (SOICS) was one ofher first stops. “I had little English when I got
here,” shesaid. “SOICSwas veryhelpful. Theyhelped me tolearn aboutthe languageand theC a n a d i a nculture.”SOICS alsoh e l p e dA n u p r e e tprepare forwork inCanada. Al-though sheis home witha new babyn o w ,A n u p r e e twas able tofind work in alarge retail
store once she had learned English. SOICSsupported her job search by finding job list-ings and assisting with applications.“I know from my own experience how chal-lenging it can be to immigrate to a new coun-try,” said SOICS Executive Director
AnkaNovosel. “At SOICS, we welcome newimmigrants to the South Okanagan andwork with them to help them reach their fullpotential.” Anupreet, like most new immi-grants, found life in Canada very differentfrom life at home in India. Having a little helpmade the transition easier.“I learned lots of things about Canada,” shesaid. “I learned how many provinces wehave and how many official languages.”SOICS is a free resource for eligible newCanadians. Its multilingual staff helps newimmigrants complete government forms andapplications, access health and social serv-ices, navigate the school system, and learnabout their rights and responsibilities asCanadians. They also provide interpretationservices and career coaching. For youth andfamilies, SOICS offers a Buddy Programthat matches Canadian and foreign-bornchildren in school to promote cultural aware-ness.SOICS has been helping new Canadianssince 1976 and is funded by the Govern-ment of Canada and the Province of BritishColumbia.“It is a place where we can go and get help,”said Anupreet. “And we can make friends inthe classes. Now I have a new friend fromthe Czech Republic and I’m friends with aSpanish girl.”You can find out more about SOICS atwww.soics.ca or by calling the office at 250-492-6299.

CCoouunnttrryy’’ss aaddmmiinniissttrraattiioonn hhaass ttoo bbee ttrraannssppaarreennttWhen the people of a country geteducation and healthcare at con-cessional rates, when people getjustice on the basis of right and tocap this all which all get employ-ment opportrunities on the basis ofqualification, then the governmentdeserves to be called the govern-ment of the people in real sense.But this kind of administration in thepresent materialistic atmosphere ishardly witnessed. People’s selfishand materialistic attitude affects thenature of the present-day govern-ments. Those public representatives whoproject themselves before the peo-ple during election days, they gen-erally sway away from theirmission. This is why these days theleaders have taken over the defini-tion of people’s representative totheir benefit. It is worth mentioning
here that the leaders in power don’thave to spend a penny from theirpocket. Their role gets justified only whenthey put forward their views in atransparent manner to implementthe human welfare schemes. In away the basic duty of the govern-ment is to become people friendlyand frame concrete programmesfor overall development of thecountry and create sources for theirimplementation. In its bid to be transparent the gov-ernment should neither allow itselfto accept the influence of capitalis-tic forces nor of anybody’s armtwisting tactics. If the administrativestructure of the country is transpar-ent, people by enjoying basic facil-ities will get encouraged andcontribute to the national develop-ment. In fact, in good old days lead-
ers used to be devoted to the pub-lic service, now in the selfish era,so many discrepancies have ap-peared. Today’s politics has distorted theadministrative management visu-alised by thinkers, philosophersand the Great Gurus which wouldprove suicidal in future. The sectionof politicians limited to nepotismand capitalism gives rise to nega-tive politics.In the present context, if any politi-cian dedicated to a new party or so-ciety wants to step forward in hismission, and even if he gets sup-port of a large number of people, al-ready established different partiesget united to oppose him. Let us ig-nore the current make and breakpolitics and launch a new platformdedicated whole-heartedly to thepeople only.
B.C. forging new hydrogen and fuel cell links to IndiaSimon Fraser University (SFU) and the In-dian Oil Corporation (IOCL), one of theworld's largest companies, signed anagreement to collaborate on hydrogen andfuel cell technology research.

Without a doubt, Canada is one of the most de-sirable countries in the world. It is democratic,stable, prosperous and open to business. It’s nowonder that millions of people around the worlddream of immigrating to Canada, and that everyyear Canada welcomes over 250,000 newcom-ers.Because Canada is such a sought after desti-nation, the Government of Canada has createda number of programs for foreign nationals toapply for Canadian immigration. Broadly speak-ing, these programs allow permanent residencyin Canada on economic grounds, familygrounds, or occasionallyon humanitariangrounds.One economic program which may ap-peal to many foreign families looking to estab-lish themselves in the Thompson-Okanaganregion is the self-employed farm managementprogram. Essentially, if a foreign national is will-ing to purchase and manage a local farm enter-prise, they may use this investment as aplatform for permanent residency. To be eligible,the foreign national must demonstrate:1.That he or she has at least two years’ experi-ence in managing a farm;2.Intends and is able to be self-employed inCanada, and3.Can contribute to Canada’s economy by buy-ing and managing a farm property.Other factors considered by Citizenship and Im-migration Canada in assessing an applicant’s el-igibility under the self-employed farmmanagement program include the applicant’sage, education, language ability, experience andadaptability. Applicants are assessed points ineach of these categories, with the most points
being attributed to experience (a maximum of 35points), education (a maximum of 25 points) andlanguage skills (a maximum of 24 points). To beeligible under the self-employed persons pro-gram, applicants only need a total of 35 points,plus the financial resources required to pur-chase the farm property. Foreign nationals look-ing to apply for permanent residency cancertainly apply on their own without the assis-tance of an immigration lawyer.However, many people take comfort in workingwith an immigration professional, especiallywhen we consider the long delays that can bebrought about by submitting incomplete or oth-erwise defective applications.Immigrationlawyers provide three important benefits to theirclients. First, immigration lawyers are trained ininterpreting laws and regulations which affectpermanent residency applications. Second, im-migration lawyers are regulated and are gov-erned by a code of conduct, providing clientsimportant protections against fraud and abuse.Third, immigration lawyers have the experienceof submitting dozens of applications. The knowl-edge of how to prepare an organized and com-prehensive application can save months indelays. If you have questions regardingimmi-gration to Canada, including the self-employedfarm management program, or would like assis-tance in submitting an application, contact DavidBrown, an immigration lawyer with Doak ShirreffLLP, in Kelowna, British Columbia.
The City of Penticton has achieved a sig-nificant waterfront enhancement milestone,after the final fence sections were removedalong the west Okanagan Lake walkway al-lowing the public to walk along the entirepath for the first time. “We are thrilled withthe Okanagan Lake walkway enhance-ments.The new path way is safer, more accessibleand provides a much better user experi-ence,” said Mayor Garry Litke. "Residentsand visitors will enjoy the new walkway forgenerations to come, and this was the vi-sion set out by Council in making waterfrontenhancement a strategic priority." The finalcleanup was conducted on Monday, Janu-ary 13, following the finalization of theseven-month project that was completedover two phases for the one-kilometre,multi-use path.The final concrete placement near the SSSicamous occurred during the holidays andrequired at least a week to cure under in-sulated covers. Ice had formed on the newwalkway due to the cold weather, causing aslight delay in opening. But warm weekendtemperatures melted any slippery sections,
making the area safe to open to the public."The waterfront is a critical piece of Pentic-ton's identity.The new path honours the importance ofOkanagan Lake, and is now truly a spacethat celebrates the community’s vibrancy,"said Litke. "The community could hardlywait for the fencing to come down, andwithin minutes were walking along the path.That is the true test of success." All thetrees have been planted, all streetlightshave been wired in and are operational,and street furniture, signage and picnic ta-bles have been installed.Most of the angle parking is fully open tothe public from The Peach to the SS Sica-mous, and remaining paved parking areasor landscape sections will be completed inthe spring. "We thank the public for theirfeedback on this project.The City was able to build a better walkwayas a result of their input, and it is really en-couraging to see so many people using thepath already," said Mitch Moroziuk, Direc-tor of Operations. An official opening will beheld later in 2014.
ÁÅê ÁÅêä¶ éÅç òÜÅÀ°ä¶Recently we were very pleased to be featuredby InfoTel Multimedia, in an article by AdamProskiw titled “Kelowna finally ready for achange of face”.Proskiw spoke with MohiniSingh, a well-known community leader inKelowna, as well as Bob Gill, publisher of theIndo-Okanagan Times. Singh, a recipient of theOrder of B.C. in 2008 was the first Punjabielected to Kelowna City Council.She is widely known through her career as aradio and television journalist as well as a com-munity activist and for her involvement with thedisadvantaged.Singh noted that when she firstcame to the Okanagan “…the population ofvisible ethnic minorities was really, reallysmall.” Since that time she feels the commu-nity has grown with the number of visible mi-norities in Kelowna having risen noticeably.
Gill noted one of the reasons for thedecision to produce a Punjabi/English news-paper is because there’s not much Indo-Cana-dian exposure, and this is something he hopesto address. Through the publication of theIndo-Okanagan Times he hopes to close thegap between the cultures and provide a muchneeded service to the Indo-Canadian commu-nity.To read the full story visithttp://infotel.ca/newsitem/Kelowna-finally-ready-for-a-change-of-face/IT6447 “We wantto hear from you,” said Gill. “Contact us withyour thoughts and ideas at 250-808-5454 oremail [email protected].”

The BC Trucking Association (BCTA) re-leased the International Trucking Refer-ence: Roads, Rules, and Drivers, a guideto the truck driving environment in 10 coun-tries to help motor carriers understand howthe skills and experience of an immigrantdriver might translate to a professional ca-reer in BC.BCTA developed the Interna-tional Trucking Reference with input frommotor carriers about the type of informationthey need to make hiring decisions aboutjob candidates who have gained the bulkof their commercial driving experience out-side Canada. Included are pointers on thereasons for recruiting drivers from the im-migrant labour pool, tips for finding and re-cruiting immigrant candidates, andconsiderations for successfully interview-ing candidates from another culture.TheReference isa human resources tool for in-dustry employers facing a huge drivershortage, which the Conference Board ofCanada has projected will see up to 33,000empty seats by 2020. As one of two BCTAprojects made possible by the ImmigrantEmployment Council of BC (IEC-BC) andfunded by the Government of Canada andthe Province of BC, the International Truck-ing Reference will help address immigranttalent hiring and retention challenges facedby BC employers.“Given that most BCtrucking companies are small to mid-sized,they may not have the staff to research thebackground of a job applicant with foreignexperience. BCTA is pleased that fundingfrom the federal and provincial govern-ments has allowed us to create the Inter-national Trucking Reference, adependable, easy-to-use resource that willsave employers time and help them makebetter-informed hiring decisions,” saidLouise Yako, BCTA President & CEO. TheInternational Trucking Reference was au-thored by Ottawa-based Graybridge-Malkam, a training and consulting firmspecializing in organizational diversity.BCTA carriers recommended a “top 10” listof countries to include in the guide: India,Ireland, Italy, Mexico, the Philippines,Poland, the Republic of Korea, Romania,Russia, the Ukraine and the United King-
dom. The Reference provides an accurateprofile of the driving environment in eachcountry, including a description of the ter-rain and climate, commercial vehicletypes, typical driver responsibilities, li-censing and training standards, infrastruc-ture, and regulations, amongothers.“Immigrants who call BC homebring a wealth of talent to our province –talent that employers can tap into as longas they know how to recognize the skillsand experience. BCTA’s project will helpemployers understand the working envi-ronments of qualified professional driv-ers who have immigrated from othercountries, and give them confidencethey are hiring people with the skillstheir companies – and our economy –need,” said Minister of Jobs, Tourismand Skills Training and Responsible forLabour, Shirley Bond. The InternationalTrucking Reference complementsBCTA’s IDRIVE – the Immigrant DriverReadiness – Industry Validation and En-gagement project, which BCTA is pilot-ing now. IDRIVE participants completefour tests, including a road test, to as-sess their experience and readiness forwork in BC. With an immigrant candi-date’s IDRIVE report in hand and detailsfrom the country profiles in the Interna-tional Trucking Reference, BC employ-ers can take on new drivers with greaterconfidence in their ability to operate onNorth American roads. “Employers knowfirsthand the challenges and opportuni-ties in hiring and integrating skilled im-migrants into their workplaces.Resources like the International Truck-ing Reference are a boon to both em-ployers and immigrants,” said KellyPollack, IEC-BC Executive Director.TheInternational Trucking Reference:Roads, Rules, and Drivers is availableto industry employers on BCTA’s web-site at www.bctrucking.com/careers.More information about IDRIVE is alsoavailable on the landing page. TheAsia Pacific Gateway Skills Table ismanaging both projects on BCTA’s be-half.
