Why Go to Canada？
Huge, scenic and sparsely populated, Canada was rated by the United Nations Human Development Index as the best country to live in. The land of new hopes and opportunities attracts people worldwide—visitors, migrants and overseas students—and offers its permanent residents the sweetest benefit package, who in turn contribute significantly to its economic growth, and bring customs and traditions, rituals and culture to the forefront of current government.
Two types of immigrants
Very few people really understand or know anything about the process of immigration application. First of all a potential immigrant needs to know something about the rules and regulations. The Canadian Government has designed a point system to assess potential independent immigrants. Emphasis is placed on education, practical training, experience and the likelihood of successful settlement in Canada. This means that people with a bachelor degree of some kind and advanced technical or other skills that are in demand in Canada, are more likely to be accepted. The Government also adds weight to an application if the individual is fluent in Canada's official languages, English and French. Therefore someone with a good command of either English or French will have a better chance. Another way to immigrate to Canada is via the immigrant investor program.
This provides an opportunity for experienced business persons to immigrate to Canada after making a substantial investment in a provincial government-administered venture capital fund.
Apply for immigration directly to the government
If you think you fulfill all the criteria you can easily apply for immigration by yourself. The Canadian Government clearly states: "Any one can apply without the help of a third party". As often happens in these situations, unscrupulous (不讲道德的) agents can take advantage of people who think that the only way they can immigrate is by paying huge mounts of money. People who want to become immigrants should carefully investigate the reputation and qualifications of third parties who offer their services for a fee. So why bother to use an migration agent if application is easy？
Hire professionals to apply on your behalf
Actually there are many good reasons why so many intending migrants use such services. What the least competent and reliable professionals do is simply fill out the forms and send them to the Canadian Embassy with the required fees and documents! Some individuals (who can be referred to as "unscrupulous agents") may fail to send in the correct documents, delay the clients' application delivery, talk an unqualified candidate into buying their services despite the high possibility that the visa application will be refused or even suggest their clients supply fraudulent (诈骗的) documents that are often discovered by the Canadian Embassy. Conversely, a highly qualified and reliable professional service justifies its costs for the comprehensive services it provides. A professional and reliable immigration firm should provide these five services for its clients:
Assessing chances of success
1. An intending immigrant must first be well aware of his chances of success. A substantial amount of necessary payment and the potential impact on an applicant's life (i.e. thinking they will be accepted) can be avoided. A highly experienced immigration professional is capable of assessing a client's chances of success with an extremely high degree of certainty. In the case of a most unfavorable application, he discourages the client's application.
Highlighting qualifications
2. Depending on an effective interpretation of the selection rules as well as accumulated experiences, an experienced immigration professional highlights the applicant's qualities and helps persuade visa officials th

A New Citizenship Test
（1） Last week， a sample of the new US citizenship （公民身份） exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services （US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has， as the current test does， the new one asks why there are 13 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government， an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.
（2） "The goal is to make it more meaningful." explains Emilio Gonzalez， director of the US-CIS.Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better "understanding and respect" for US civic（公民的） values， Gonzalez says.
（3） The US isn"t the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a "shared commitment" from immigrants for their adopted country"s "values". In recent years， in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status， several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March， a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude （裸体的 ） women bathing at beaches and gay （同性恋的 ） men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that "newcomers will be comfortable with the country"s liberal social mores （风俗） ".
（4） Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But， today， the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other. Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries， after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes （穆斯林聚居区） in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.
（5） Officials believe that a person"s attachment to， a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However， some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate （同化） themselves. "Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight？" says Ali Noorani， of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition （难民辩护联盟） .

23 Paragraph 2 .
？Read the following article on recruiting and managing staff and the questions.
？For each question (15-20), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.
As a manager in the service industry sector, I've looked at hundreds of CVs in my time. They are not necessarily the bland documents some bosses might think they are! They are full of little pointers towards individuals' personalities and suitability for the job. The first thing I always look at is an applicant's employment record. I check for continuity and stability. If somebody has a long list of previous jobs, all of varying length, alarm bells start ringing. Rather than an irregular route from job to job, what I hope to see is stable career progression. What does their career path look like-is it all steps forward. or are there a lot of sideways moves？ And I am always pleased to find a family person with children, because in my experience they tend to be responsible and reliable.
I never rely on CVs alone. We get applicants to fill in one of our own application forms. We ask why they've applied, what their aspirations and personal goals are, and also about their interests and hobbies and any clubs they belong to. That gives you a useful insight into their personality and lifestyle. The application form. also enables us to test how much people have actually been progressing in their careers, because we ask for details of the salaries they have received for each job.
It's always worth looking at CVs and designing application forms with great caution. Taking on employees might be rewarding, but it is also a big investment for any business. Mistakes in choosing staff can cost companies dear, so it makes sense to spend time ensuring that you get the right person.
In the service sector, one of the aims of companies is to maintain and improve customer service, and this is achieved partly through low staff turnover. You need to take on people who understand that, and will want to stay. That's why, when you've taken staff on, the next thing is getting the best out of them.
My management style. comes from the days when I took over my first business, an ailing road haulage firm which I was certain I could turn into a profitable company. The first thing is to treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself. As soon as I took over the business, I talked to everybody individually, and looked for ways to make sure their particular skills benefited the company.
I didn't have much experience of managing people, but above all I always tried to be fair and honest with everyone. As a result, I think the staff knew that and accepted my decisions, even if they didn't agree with them all. Also, bosses must be able to communicate. You also need to create team spirit, and build on the strength of the team. I explained my plans for the company to all the staff, and let them know what I needed from them. The lorry drivers responded brilliantly, and were the key to turning the business round. They understood that we had to develop a professional reputation, and from then on the days of poor quality deliveries were over.
Lastly, I am a great believer in profit-sharing. It takes a team to make a company work, so profits should be shared by all. Job satisfaction is important, but it doesn't pay the rent. Shared profit and bonuses help to strengthen team spirit by giving everyone a common goal that they work towards together.
The fact that the writer hopes to learn from applicant's CVs is
A．that they have experience of many different jobs.
B．that their careers have developed steadily.
C．the opinion their employers had of them.
D．whether they are married or single.
