1 She appealed 'to me because she was like people I had never met personally. Like women in English novels who walked the moors (whatever they were) with their loyal dogs racing at a respectful distance. Like the women who sat in front of roaring fireplaces, drinking tea incessantly from silver trays full of scones and crumpets. Women who talked over the "heath” and read morocco-bound books and had two last names divided by a hyphen. It would be safe to say that she made me proud to be Negro, just by being herself
2 Homes and restaurants do what they can with this stuff ----which my mother---in ---law would discard on the spot . I have long thought that the famed blindfold test for cigarettes should be applied to city vegetables . For I am sure that if you pureed them blindfolded , yo

3 Chavel was filled with a huge and shameful joy. It seemed to him that already he was saved—twenty-nine men to draw and only two marked papers left. The chances had suddenly grown in his favor from ten to one to—fourteen to one: the greengrocer had drawn a slip and indicated carelessly and without pleasure that he was safe. Indeed from the first draw any mark of pleasure was taboo: one couldn't mock the condemned man by any sign of relief.
4  Red Indians, while they were still unaffected by white men, would smoke their pipes, not calmly as we do, but orgiastically, inhaling so deeply that they sank into a faint . And when excitement by means of nicotine failed, a patriotic orator would stir them up to attack a neighbouring tribe, which would give them all the enjoyment that we (according to our temperament ), derive from a horse race or a General Election

Why Go to Canada?
A                  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 t
o the forefront of current government.
B          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.
C          If you think you fulfill all the criteria you can easily apply for immigration by yourse
lf. The Canadian Government clearly states: 'Any one can apply without the help of a third party'. As often happens in these situations, unscrupulous agents can take advantage of people who think that the only way they can immigrate is by paying huge amounts 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 immigration agent if application is easy?
D         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 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 profes
sional and reliable immigration firm should provide these five services for its clients:
E    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.
F    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 that the applicant is worthy of selection and meets all the selection criteria. If a person doesn't seem qualified, the adviser tries to find out other alternatives that may exist to make him a successful applicant. Such instances where qualified persons were discouraged from making applications are numerous. For example, a computer programmer whose professional skills are highly sought after in the Canadian labor market may be considered unqualified
by the variance of their job description to the specifications in the National Occupational Descriptions published by the Canadian Government. An experienced immigration professional avoids areas of potential misunderstanding and best ensures that all the documents submitted and answers given at an interview will support a successful application.
G    3. The presentation or package of the application often makes a decisive impression on the visa officer. An experienced immigration professional identifies what type of information can be supplied that is most likely to favorably impress the visa officer considering the application.
H    4. In the case of a person who simply does not qualify, an immigration professional indicates the reasons that may lead to their visa application refusal and tries to find out ways to improve their circumstances so they become qualified.
I     5. A seasoned immigration professional helps identify potential problems and provides advice in advance. An immigration professional is expected to be familiar with immigration law, s/he advises the applicant whether or not to submit certain complimentary document
s, what evidence needs to be acquired to help support the candidate, and what should be avoided that may cause a negative impact on the application.
J    Additionally, in the case of a refused application, a reliable immigration consulting firm should effectively defend its applicants from uneven interpretation, misapplication or even breaches of regulations. So, if you are interested in immigrating, you could try to apply on your own, or if you want to save yourself all the stress and confusion of applying, you could go for one of the reliable, professional immigration firms.

Many people from various countries are now thinking of emigrating to Canada. They can apply to the immigration authorities of the Canadian Government which has adopted a point system to evaluate immigration applicants. The criteria for evaluation include educat
ion, training, skill and language, which means that people with a higher education background and having a skill that is needed in Canada plus good English or French have good chances to emigrate.
There are two ways to apply for immigration. The first is to apply without the help of a third party, which means the applicants contact the Canadian Embassy directly. Alternatively, applicants can hire professionals to apply on their behalf. This usually means to pay a huge amount of money to immigration firms which in turn contact the Canadian Government and work through the application process. Though the former way costs much less, applicants may have difficulties or confusion because the whole process can be complicated. professional immigration firms, on the other hand, have the experience in dealing with legal matters that are part of the application process. The most important thing is to find the right firm, since there are unscrupulous firms that are not competent to represent applicants and will lead to applicants’ loss of money and opportunity.
