Canada Express Entry: Canada Applications for permanent residence to resume in July 2022

Source: TheCable

The Canadian government released a statement on April 22, 2022 on New Measures to Address Labour Shortage and says it will resume its Express Entry draws for immigrants in July 2022.

In a statement issued on Friday, Sean Fraser, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship of Canada, said invitations for candidates to apply for permanent residency will begin in early July.

The ‘Express Entry’ programme is a points-based system through which skilled workers in Canada and abroad are invited to apply for permanent residency if they meet certain thresholds in work experience, education and language skills.

Due to COVID-related restrictions and delays, Canada halted Express Entry draws — the procedure that chooses qualified applications from a pool of interested skilled workers.

According to Fraser, the vast majority of new applications will be handled within the six-month standard service.

WHY DO YOU NEED THESE TIPS?

As a student, you tend to face so many challenges, ranging from tuition fee, hostel fee and other fee. Let me not even speak about those ones now, because you tend you pay for those ones once in a year But Do you Know that the money you use in Feeding and buying Materials Is even more greater then the amount you spend for school fees and other fees and obviously, they are the ones that tend to consume more cash.
What are these other challenges?
-Feeding

1. Photography

The Photography business has grown from its state in the days to a renowned profession which people are making a fortune out of. Starting this business in small scale means you’re not just making money at the moment but securing a strong financial future for yourself. You know how students especially the female folks love taking pictures, this is the perfect time to make maximum use of this opportunity. you don’t need much to start, just save a little money for a good camera, with a bit of creativity and you’re good to go. Please note that doing photography professionally requires just more than the previous requirements mentioned but this should be enough to get you started. you can also take passport photographs during school registrations.

2. Sale of Fashion Items

Interesting thing about this business is that you’d succeed no matter your gender. Both male and female wears rocks on Nigerian campuses and who else will succeed more if not their fellow students. I know of a guy who is living comfortably and paying school fees only by selling men under-wears, yes, and Just men under wears, most of the times he travels out to the region where these boxer shorts are at a very low prize, buys them and bring them to his school. He sells these boxer shorts for virtually everybody in his region ranging from his lecturers down to his fellow students. I don’t want to go into details on how much these things cost, but its best you do your homework.

3. T-Shirt Customization

This business requires your creativity as a student. looking around you, you’ll notice students love fancy and funky stuffs. learning the art of this business means you’ll have fellow students begging you to collect their money for a t-shirt write up. You can learn this simple business during your stay at home/holiday. You can start in small scale by doing the write ups on your own T-shirt, friends will like it and ask you to even do for them. Just start something. Remember the “My Oga at the Top Saga”? you see those custom t-shirts? Need i say more? – See more at: 

4. Online Registration

Yes, if you have a laptop and a bit of computer knowledge, i don’t know what stops you from enjoying both the pleasure and money derived from this Job. you can register virtually everything online. Course Registration, Post-UTME Registration, JAMB Registration, Job Application, etc. You can even make extra cash from typing assignments and projects for fellow students. Do i also need to tell you the thousands of Naira made during post UTME registrations? All the tools you need to make good money are all around you, you Just need to identify one and work your way through it. – 

5.Website Design/Hosting

I’ll be a bit biased on this one because that’s what i do currently and don’t know if its suitable for students or not. But i can authoritatively tell you students are taping into the hidden money from this lucrative business. It may take a while to learn the entire concept of how this things work but its something you can easily do while you are home for holidays. Website Design may sound a bit complex so you might want to manage the little you get from setting up blogs for fellow students. This write up may not make sense to you because you don’t know a thing about website design, its why i’ll advice you to learn under anybody who is established in it already. Look around your campus, there are students who do well comfortably with this business, it wouldn’t hurt much to meet them to put you through.

Below are the other 10 tips which have been tested and confirmed.

-Starting up Tutorials : If are capable of teaching, you can earn teaching you classmates and those below you in class.

-Photocopying.

-Blogging

-Laundry

-Helping with respect to online assignments: I know of people that make huge from this.
-Bulk Sms : You have various Fellowships in your school. Don’t you know you can make money selling units to them ?

-Opening a café |(This involves much capital though)

-Selling Textbooks to people.

-Opening up a canteen and employing people to work there for you

-Going into Political stuffs (These one is making sense sha, eg, hall governor,sug excos, etc)

3 REASONS YOU HAVEN’T GOTTEN YOUR DREAM JOB AND THE ULTIMATE KEYS TO SOLVING THESE PROBLEMS

Let’s get at it…………

The world we leave today requires you to be ready to think outside the box to be a successful human been.
This is also required from you as a job seeker. Creative thinking is a vital key…..
A lot of our youths today are looking for ways to get employment and get more out of their lives, but often times this is not the case and I will like to shock you……..
This is your fault…………
If you haven’t gotten that dream job and you keep sending resumes/cvs without replies, it’s because you don’t have what they need and/or even if you have what they need, it’s because you don’t know how to communicate it………..
Simply………….. it’s either
You don’t have what it takes……… or
You can’t sell yourself……….
Period!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the three reasons you haven’t been called for interviews or offered employments by those your big and dream companies are:
1.      No Value
2.      Wrong Positioning
3.      Bad Resume/CVs
These are the three major causes of you never getting replies after countless Resume submissions to those companies………..
Now I will discuss these three key challenges in details with their solutions……….
1.      Value
The most distinguishing part of a man is the values he possesses and ready to impact his world. Our values are our beliefs about what is right and wrong and what is important in life (NIM).
The problem most of the job seekers and the unemployed youths today is lack of values.
A lot of people just want to fill voids or vacuums left by the previous employee and not ready to go the extra miles and even challenge the “status quo”. No plans to make positive contributions to the organizations… all that matters is just to get the job and waiting for the huge salary coming at the end of the month. 
Immediately you have these mind sets, you automatically turn off your chances of ever been employed……

Your mind-sets should always be……..

What can I do today to make the world and everything around me better…?

What can I do or contribute to this organization to move her to the next level?

Where is this organization currently suffering and will probably need my help?

These are the mind budging questions you must be prepared to answer before you can become someone indispensable to any organization and attract boundless opportunities to yourself………because according to Steve Jobs “We don’t employ smart people and teach them what to do, we only employ smart people to teach us what to do”. It is as simple as that….

You might think that it’s a lie but that is actually what those global companies are seriously looking for in an ideal candidate to fill any vacant position…

All companies need a person of value that moves their organization to the next level not someone to just come fill a void……….

The Burj Al Arab picture you see above was brought to reality by set of value laden engineers who challenge the status quo and built the world tallest and only 7 star hotel on an artificial island in Dubai…….

You have these same creativity and the world is waiting for your potentially that you have to make your make to this world before you finally leave…….

When you become a person of values………Your values will certainly make ways for you…..You will be sort after and money and success will never be your problem again in life……..

7.    Remote technical support
Another good online venture you can get involved is becoming a remote technical assistance. Many small businesses you see today don't have provisions in their budget for a full-time IT employee, so when their systems develops problems, they usually call a computer engineer friend or family member. If you have experience working on computers and networks, you can help solve their problems by offering immediate remote technical assistance.
 
8.    Professional freelancer
Freelancing is one of the most lucrative businesses online because you can perform different task to different organization and individuals at the same time.

You can make a living online for yourself by helping job seeker writing a standout and job winning resume and cover letters. A standout resume and cover letter can make all the difference when applying for jobs.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 70 percent of the adult population is overweight or obese, and many people that want to lose weight and eat better simply don't know where to start.

11. Social media consultant
Finally on this list is another highly demanded service call social media consultant. Larger firms can hire an agency or full-time staff member to run their Facebook and Twitter accounts, but small businesses often have to handle their own social media marketing . With so many other responsibilities, business owners are often too busy or overwhelmed to spend time developing and implementing a great social media strategy.

Free Online Business Ideas For the New Year Part one

Many of us are anticipating greatly for the New Year but also confused on what can be done to make the New Year better than the previous one. This is why I have decided to compile some list of what I called free online business ideas for the New Year.

A lot of us have made New Year resolutions and if you haven’t it’s not too late yet. Well for me my New Year resolution is to make more money these year from many business I will involve myself in especially online Businesses.

Making money online or from the internet is the sweetest and easiest thing to do. And going about it is having some basic knowledge of how it is done and you can keep learning as you keep earning.

Although it might not be easy as it seems but with commitment continuity, self-discipline and hardworking it will pay off in huge profits.

So below are few of the many businesses you can do online to make money these New Year.

1. Become a virtual assistant

     A virtual assistant is a person that help client carryout their work online through the internet. It is is a great job to have if you want flexibility. One advantage of being a virtual assistant is you will be able to maintain multiple clients at a time, which means you can work overtime if you need to at your own time to make more money. A virtual assistant will generally charge from $5 and make $50-150 weekly depending on the specifics of your job. You should be able to assist with tasks such as blogger outreach, product listings, research and responding to emails. You can easily list yourself as a virtual assistant is sites such as Fiverr.com, Facebook groups, Facebook fan pages, etc.
2.    Offer web design
Every day new companies are emerging and are looking to build a website to increase their reach all over the world. In fact, even those companies that have a website are looking to make sure that theirs looks more professional, bigger and better than their competitors.
If you want to make money from home with practically no investment, this is certainly one of the best business ideas for you. This is actually for people wanting huge amounts of flexibility. If you don’t have the skills, don’t worry, you can learn the basics of coding on CodeAcademy and do specific online web design courses to build up your skills. After doing that you can sign up to freelance sites such as People Per Hour and start building up your portfolio! This portfolio might even lead you into a high paying job!
3.    Train and mentor
If you have a specific skill or set of skills that you could teach, you can become a virtual teacher. There are hundreds of skills that can be taught and have been taught over the internet. One way of doing this is using videos and written materials and sending to all the people enrolled with you. All you need is prepare your materials once and you can keep sending it whenever you have new emrolments. And if it’s going to be live teaching we have many free video conferencing service providers this days, example is Skype, Google hangout, Facebook, Yahoo, etc.
Now for the start you might have to offer a free service now and build a freemium model (offer free accounts with limited features, then charge for upgrades) for the future in order to make huge amounts of cash. It’s one of the good business ideas for those with extensive amounts of knowledge.
You could:
ü  Teach how to do a particular business
ü  How to cook
ü  How to make …….(anything you know)
ü  Teach a language
ü  Teach how to play instruments
ü  Teach a particular course or subject e.g Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, etc.
ü  Offer marketing training
ü  Help improve writing skills
ü  And more!
4.    Desktop publication services
A lot of people go out of secondary school every year to learn Desktop publishing for a fortune and also their lots of people around the world today in paid jobs who doesn’t know about desktop publishing and are willing to learn at affordable prices you can offer this service online at affordable prices if you know about it.
This is not difficult to start and all you need is getting used to softwares, meeting deadlines, and making yourself popular online are the keys to launching a desktop publication home businesses. While some desktop publishers would like to meet clients in person and serve their local neighborhood market, a desktop publisher who renders services through the internet will have a much broader market to work on.
Additionally, working this business online permits you to show case prospects samples of your work and to publish testimonies from your satisfied clients/customers.
5.    Web Promotion
Hundreds of millions of websites are on the internet today virtually unknown and each of these websites are looking for publicity. You can start by making these your business as web promotion expert and make money online. If you can effectively promote a website without spending much on advertising; you have a good business on hand.
 
6.    Software / Script Installation services
Another very good web based business service you can offer internet business owners for cash is software/script installation. This is because many people desire to start one website or the other such as a social networking site, forum, eBook store and so on but they don’t know how to go about it. If offering script installation service thrills you but you don’t have a good knowledge of it, you can look online to learn within one week; then you can learn the rudiments of script installation
A lot of the entrepreneurs that wants to develop these websites have even taken a bold step ahead to purchase the necessary software or script needed to power their desired site; but they don’t know how to go about the installation. All they need is who can help them install it and make live. I have seen several small businesses that charge $97 for installations that don’t take more than 20 minutes to implement.
 
7.    Niche Research services
One of the hottest and best online business services to offer today is a niche research service. All you need to do as a niche researcher is to spot online trends and niches before the rest of the crowd discovers such and market it. It also entails digging deep to discover ignored or overlooked niches. If you are well grounded in online business research, then you can start a business online researching upcoming trends and niches, and selling these business trends to internet entrepreneurs and investors.
 
8.    Blogger to WordPress services
Most bloggers online today have blogs hosted on Google’s free blogging platform Blogger, but these days bloggers are switching over to WordPress because of its usability and amazing features. It looks easy to do and a lot of people might just think all you need to do is go over to wordpress and create a new blog. The danger in moving from one blogging platform to another is that you may lose your content and pagerank.
Most bloggers don’t want to go through this nightmare, so the reliance on blogger to WordPress service providers. If you can switch from blogger to WordPress and vice versa without a loss of pagerank or content; then you have a profitable business on hand.
 
9.    Become an affiliate
One way to make huge money online is through affiliate marketing i.e selling other people product by getting commission. As an affiliates, you can earn up to 75% commission in some cases!
Learning how to earn money online as an affiliate isn’t easy, but there are lots of people worldwide that are making over $100,000 a year doing it. Most will not be a successful unless they have some formal help and training. Affiliate stores are web stores where people purchase items on a site, but through a third party.
You can become affiliate on websites such as Commission Junction (cj.com), Ckickbank, Amazon, Affilorama, etc. There are over 1,000 affiliate programs online, just Google search it.
Two keys to succeeding as an affiliate are to focus on product niches that you have an interest in and having a mailing list. The email marketer’s best friend is their email list; you have to have an email list! I use Aweber to collect subscribers, you too can do thesame.
 
10. Website Critique
Are you good at website optimization? Can you help internet business owners increase their conversion rate simply by overhauling a website?
Then you can critique websites for cash. I know several entrepreneurs that have built successful online business by offering landing pages and squeeze page makeovers. You can do the same.

Wow….. that was awesome list of various business you can do online for the new year and make some really good money online for yourself. I believe you can do one or two of the businesses on the list and if you can’t do any, you can choose to learn any of them online today and become an expert in a few weeks.

I strongly want to contribute to your life and believe all you can do today is take action and do something, don’t just read and ignore, take action……because at the end of the day, it’s only action that counts and the rest are stories…..

I wish you the very best in the new year…..
