Now entering its fourth year, Canada's Best Diversity Employers recognizes employers across Canada that have exceptional workplace diversity and inclusiveness programs. This competition examines a range of diversity initiatives covering five major employee groups: (a) Women; (b) Members of visible minorities; (c) Persons with disabilities; (d) Aboriginal peoples; and (e) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered/Transsexual (LGBT) peoples. This competition replaces our two annual rankings of the top employers for women and visible minorities, which we published as an appendix to our book between 2002 and 2007, when the present competition was launched. Winners may use the competition's official logo for recruitment purposes until next year's winners are released. Read the press release announcing the 2010 winners

International Experience Canada/Working Holiday Program - Ireland
Image via WikipediJanuary 17 2011
The International Experience Canada (IEC) initiative in Ireland is now officially open for 2011. Administrative changes have been made to the IEC for 2011. Most notably, for the first time in Ireland, Applicants will be able to apply directly to the Government of Canada. These changes are being introduced in order to re-align the IEC-Ireland with its counterparts in participating countries around the world.
The Changes:
1. Student and non-student sub-categories will be amalgamated into one overall Working Holiday Program category. As of 2011, everyone who applies to the IEC will do so under the Working Holiday Program (WHP). The WHP enables citizens from Ireland aged 18-35 to travel and work in Canada. It is the ideal formula for students and non-students who want to supplement their travel experiences with temporary work;
2. Applicants who have a spouse or partner and/or dependents will be permitted to travel to Canada as well although they will be required to obtain their own individual status document;
3. Finally, program participation has been expanded for up to two one-year periods. Applicants will need to re-apply if they wish to repeat as a participant, but this change means that they may continue their stay in Canada after one year or travel again several years apart.
For assistance with preparing an application under the Working Holiday Program and/or how to transition from this program into becoming a Canadian Permanent Resident, contact our office and ask to speak with one of our immigration lawyers.
