Article: It's important to know what you're looking at, since that can help you figure out the document's context. You could be looking at a newspaper article, a music score, a piece of poetry, a letter, or something else. Knowing what you're looking at helps you develop an approach for handling the information the document contains. To determine what kind of document it is, study it closely and consider where it came from. For example, if the document is listing off a person's surviving relatives, and it's from a newspaper, there's a good chance it's an obituary. There might be an author's name listed somewhere on the document, or you might have to figure it out from context clues in the document itself. For example, if you're looking at a letter, the author's name might be signed at the bottom. Or, you might be able to figure out who the author is if you know who it is addressed to. For example, if you know the letter is addressed to John Adams, and the author calls him "my husband," you'd know the author is Abigail Adams. Once you identify the author, you'll be able to use their gender, ethnicity, class, age, and sexual orientation to help you analyze the document. All of these things can help contextualize the document you're looking at. Some documents will have dates, others will not. If there is no exact date, look for clues in the document itself. Information in the document may provide some context that can help you estimate the date. For example, if you're reading a speech transcript, there might not be an obvious date written on it. You can still date the transcript by looking for context clues. Maybe the author wrote "when World War II ended ten years ago," somewhere in the text. Since you know that World War II ended in 1945, you'd know that this document was written ten years later in 1955. Maybe the author is addressing a specific group of people. Or maybe there was an intended audience of one. Knowing the audience and whether the document was meant to be private or public can help you figure out what the author's intent was for the document. A private document is sometimes more likely to be honest, since the author did not expect anyone to see it. A public document may be trying to convince someone of something. For example, the audience for a letter from a husband to his wife during World War II probably only has an intended audience of one the wife. The husband might be more likely to be honest about how he feels about the war. Alternatively, he might keep certain things from his wife to stop her from worrying.

Article: In anticipation of passport processing times, apply for your passport as soon as possible. Passport applications can be completed online and printed, or you can obtain one from a United States post office that has passport acceptance services. If you already have a passport but it will expire while you are working in Canada, go ahead and update it before you leave to avoid any future headaches. Many people move to Canada with a 4-year visa, so keep that in mind when reviewing yours. If you need to expedite your passport, you can request and pay for a faster application processing service. If you have family moving with you to Canada, make sure to get their passports and documents arranged, too. You can do this several months before you move to Canada. In fact, doing so is recommended, so you can start building a good credit rating there. To get started, contact the local bank to your future province in Canada. These banks can even have new debit cards waiting for you when you arrive in Canada and they can help you with transferring your funds from your current country to your new Canadian bank account. Before moving from your home country, don't forget to close down all of your open accounts, including your internet provider services, electricity and other utilities, and whatever else you may have open. Don't forget to cancel your current subscriptions and arrange to have your mail forwarded to your new address before you leave. Start making your travel arrangements as soon as you are able to. If you plan to fly, there are airlines that offer discounted one-way air fare for people moving to Canada, so look into that possibility. The decision will be made based on what type of visa you've secured. If you're driving, start planning your route, research which checkpoint you will go through when crossing the border, and begin making preparations to get through border patrol smoothly. You can obtain this information through CIC's website.
