Vancouver-Canada, Vs Sydney-Australia

Esta opinion fue publicada en un Foro cuando le preguntaron a alguien sobre Canada Vs Australia. Esta persona ha vivido en los dos paises:

"Vancouver could learn a lot from Sydney and its ferry system. If Canada Place was developed like Circular Quay, as a central dock for commuter ferries, you'd be able to take a fast ferry from Port Moody, Dundarave, Point Grey or wherever to connect with buses and trains. Don't turn the defunct fast ferries into casinos! Modify them so they can be used as quick, high volume passenger ferries to circumnavigate the lower mainland's clogged roads. Vancouver has been been transit challenged ever since GM screwed the city out of its tram/train system in the 50s. To this end, Sydney rules.

Australian cities generally seem to have a more enlightened approach to public transit than Canada do. Probably because they're not next door to the world's biggest auto-driven society. Sydney has the ferries, Melbourne its trams and Adelaide has its 'Adelaide OBahn, a unique guideway that allows buses to travel on their own tracks at high speed, as well as independently. Imagine B-line buses on SkyTrain tracks, driving off at either end! (Except Adelaide's system doesn't actually leave the ground.)

Both cities are just as beautiful, i think vancouver lacks in weather and in coastal scenary (sydney has beaches) but vancouver does have a lovely harbour and it does make up in other areas."

Revalida para profesionales en sistemas

The ICT profession in Australia is not regulated by law, and there are no formal minimum requirements for employment. Employers generally make their own assessment of a prospective employee's qualifications and experience, although membership of a professional organisation is given preference by some employers.

In Australia the normal route to becoming an ICT professional is to complete an approved Australian higher education course in ICT or to gain an approved ICT qualification through the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. This includes Technical and Further Education (TAFE) colleges and private providers. Many of these courses can be completed through part-time study. The normal entry requirement is completion of twelve years of schooling in Australia or its overseas equivalent. Entry to a university course also requires twelve years of schooling and a good result in the State or Territory Year 12 award (Higher School Certificate or its equivalent).

Overseas qualifications are assessed by ACS to determine if they are comparable to an Australian qualification. AEI-NOOSR’s Country Education Profiles are used in most cases for this process.

If you have limited or no recognised qualifications in ICT but you have extensive experience in ICT together with extensive supporting professional development education, you may
apply to ACS for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

In some cases, it may also prove helpful to obtain an educational assessment from AEINOOSR. potential applicants should refer to the current Procedures Information Manual on the ACS web-site.

Informe Sobre Las Migraciones En El Mundo

Comunicado de prensa, No. 882: Ginebra: "Segun el Informe sobre las Migraciones en el Mundo en 2005, que sera presentado hoy por la Organizacion Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM), muchas de las preocupaciones en torno a la migracion, es decir, la perdida de empleos, los bajos sueldos, mayores gastos en la seguridad social y la creencia de que la migracion es una espiral totalmente fuera de control no solo son exageraciones y hechos infundados sino que ademas son contrarios a la realidad.

Desempleo en los immigrantes es 3 veces mas alto que el promedio.

"The general consensus of opinion expressed at the forum was that this current recession was having a significantly detrimental impact upon Non English Speaking Background (NESB) people with some ethnic communities experiencing unemployment rates of up to three times the average. This can be attributed to the fact that both male and female immigrants tend to be concentrated in the manufacturing and construction industries, both of which have suffered high job losses over the past decade. Also the industrial restructuring that has taken place during this time has resulted in a shift away from specifically employing NESB migrants.

Many mature aged NESB people, once they have been made redundant, experience both language and cultural barriers as they try to access vital welfare services to which they are entitled. Some women for example are unaware that they can claim Family Allowance Supplement even though their husbands are still working. "
