I do not find a newsgroup called ..visa.canada.. so excuse me
if this is a wrong place.

I am on the student authorization, and very close to finishing
my Msc degree. I've now got a job offer. Could anyone enlighten
me what to do if I want to start working (12-month practical 
training or whatever it is called) before the degree is 
officially conferred. Besides, if the company is willing to 
sponsor me applying for permanent residency, what and when 
should the company and myself do before getting out of Canada
to apply?

Thank you.

          DILEMMA OF A TALENTED COMPUTER PROFESSIONAL


I have been at home for almost 1 year with 2 young children and am
aching to delve into something more stimulating than diapers and
bottles, on a part time basis (50-60%).

I have been in business for 6 years and have the following
experience:
     - application programming in C language using UNIX and DOS
     - programming in fourth generation languages with PROGRESS,
UNIFY, RBASE 5000
     - leading software projects which included supervising other
programmers, scheduling the work, keeping the development within
the desired scope and timeframe
     - supporting customers
     - analyzing needs of end users
     - training: programmers new to the group, salespersons (on
setting up the hardware, installing and demonstrating the
software), and end users
     - installing and configuring software

Also, I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years before getting
into the business of computers. I am becoming proficient at Windows
and associated software.

Some of the things I like to do are:
     - end user analysis
     - installing and configuring software
     - customer/sales support
     - advising office staff on what software would suit their
needs and assisting with set up
     - training

The problem I am facing is that part time people are not taken
seriously. However, I work very hard and learn quickly and can be more
productive than many others that work full time. I know that there is a need
for technical people with strong
interpersonal skills in today's quickly changing environment. Does
anyone have any contacts or neat ideas they are willing to share?
I am willing to work on site (in the Greater Vancouver area) or
from home (we live in Richmond, B.C. and have a modem).

Please contact me via my husband (Kim) at a892@mindlink.bc.ca.

Maureen Kulak

   Applying for permanent residency without a job offer in hand falls
   under the "Independent" category. Meaning that you would be applying
   independently on the basis of your own qualifications without
   benefit of support from an (prospective) employer. As stated by
   the previous poster you CAN do this while you are still a student.
   
   However, two years ago when I did this my application form and fee
   was returned with a note saying that "Independent" category
   applications are no longer being accepted. This was due to a 
   change in policy. I do not know if this situation still exists.
   I had applied to the Canadian Consulate in Minneapolis.
  
   Please find out from your friendly neighbourhood EIC office
   before proceeding.

Subject: A few questions on low-end hardware
Organization: Somewhere just far enough out of Toronto
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1992 11:52:39 GMT

With all the work done in SCSI and high-end PC boxes, I'm afraid my
knowledge of the current low-end stuff is lacking. And I now have to
work with one such box. Any help is appreciated on the following two
questions:

- The box presently has a 40MB IDE drive, and I don't know spit about
IDE. Is this just a one-cable replacement for the old ST-506 interface
or is there more to it? Do I still have to worry about setting drive
types in the PROM setup? If I want to replace this drive with larger
one, does the new drive need low-level formatting? Will my copy of Disk
Manager do the trick?

- RAM: The box is a 386SX that is only designed for 4MB on the
motherboard. Will any 16-bit ISA bus RAM card be OK for expansion?
Any comments on using Quarterdeck's QEMM as a memory mapper?

Again, thanks. Please e-mail unless you think your comments have broad
interest.

I'm an orientation leader at Georgia Tech and we have had the campus planning
person speak at several of our sessions.  The current plan is to have two 
different summer sessions, one at Georgia Tech and one at West Georgia.
The first session at West Georgia will be all of the standard classroom
type classes.  The second, at Georgia Tech after the Olympics (at least
thats what I remeber), will be for any classes that West Georgia did not
have the facilities for.

The planners are telling incoming freshmen to try and plan their schedules
around the olympics so they won't need to take classes that quarter.  They
tell everyone to get involved with the olympics instead of taking classes.
There is also the possibility that the administration will only allow
graduating seniors the opportunity to take classes that summer.

As far as research goes, they will try and move as much as possible, but in
some cases that is not reasonable.  Anyone who can't move their research
will need to get governmental security clearance to be on campus during
the Games.  

This is about all I can remember off the top of my head, however I may
be reminded of more if there are more questions.
