This webinar examines professional immigrant networks as a source of immigrant talent that can help employers meet business and organizational needs.

What Employers Need to Know:

Professional immigrant networks are volunteer-run, member-based associations or networks created by and for immigrant professionals

In February, TRIEC launched the PINs website, bringing together 70 immigrant networks, representing more than 30,000 new and established immigrants in the Toronto area. Through this website, employers can connect with networks from 11 sectors to connect to top talent or leverage global expertise.

Other immigrant employment councils, including those in the Waterloo Region, Ottawa, London, Calgary and Halifax, have either completed or will conduct similar searches of networks in their areas and these groups will also be invited to join the online community.

Employers can work with professional immigrant networks to recruit skilled talent, develop cross-cultural competencies of employees, raise awareness of the organization as an employer of choice and connect with new customer markets.

Lean Six Sigma Canada and Smarter Solutions are pleased to announce you that Forrest Breyfogle will be in Toronto in September, 2012. (Details will follow.)

Here is how Forrest Breyfogle describes the event:

"The problem-solving methodology of Lean Six Sigma has helped companies improve many processes; however, because Lean Six Sigma is not a business system, many of these improvements are in organizational silos and the business as a whole often does not experience true financial gain from these improvements; e.g., we saved 100 million dollars but nobody can find the money.

What I am sharing with organizations throughout the US and the world is a Going Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard methodology. This Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) business management system methodology is a means to achieve this objective. IEE is described in my 2008 published 4 book-volume series ( http://www.amazon.com/New-Books-by-Forrest-Breyfogle/lm/R2NKBB32H32H3O/ref=cm_lm_pdp_title_full) and 2010 published Lean Six Sigma Project Execution Guide (http://www.amazon.com/Lean-Sigma-Project-Execution-Guide/dp/061534948X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282835700&sr=8-1) .
In 1-hr evening meetings and 1-day workshops, I have been describing an enhanced system that makes reference to the how-to-execute methodologies described in my five book-volume series. These sessions are being sponsored by professional organizations such as ASQ, APICS, PMI, and ASA. Feedback from the sessions have been very great. All attendees to the 1-day workshop are taught from the five-book set, which is part of the course material.

The one-hour session is titled "Improving Project Selection using a 9-step Re-invented Business Maagement" System, while the one-day workshop is titled "Enhanced Roadmap for Lean Six Sigma Project Selection and Execution."
ASQ Grand Rapids Session Chair, Don Brecke said: "Forrest Breyfogle introduced his Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) concepts to our American Society for Quality (ASQ) members at two ASQ Presentation events. His one-hour program, titled "Why Go Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard" was delivered at the evening event and was well received. The next day, Forrest delivered his one-day workshop, "Going Beyond Lean Six Sigma and the Balanced Scorecard." Forrest was very engaging and did an outstanding job at both of these events. Our members gave Forrest exceptionally high marks and it was our pleasure hosting him in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our section member leadership highly recommends Forrest W. Breyfogle III to other quality and excellence-minded organizations as a speaker/presenter."

ASQ Orange County Session, Ed Matthews , ASQ CQM, ASQ CSSBB and Certified Lean Expert said: "I have seen many groups within an organization struggle in aligning their Six Sigma efforts with business improvement results. The one day session offered by Smarter Solutions / Forrest Breyfogle that introduces the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) System shows how this gap between business goals and process improvement can be closed. I am looking forward to reading the series of books and learning more about IEE."

Ken Case, past ASQ president said: "What grandmaster chess is to checkers, Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) is to the organizations improvement practices being deployed in most businesses today. Forrest Breyfogle's system provides a roadmap that blends analytics with innovation at both the enterprise and project execution levels. It makes Lean Six Sigma sing."

Here are some more events Forrest will be attending and presenting this spring:
• February 27-28 2012 ASQ Lean and Six Sigma Conference http://asq.org/conferences/six-sigma/
• February 28-29 2012 International Lean and Six Sigma Conference: http://www.iso9000conference.com/lssconfglance.html

Maj. (ret'd.) Corneliu Chisu, CD, M.Eng., CET, FEC, P.Eng., MP and founder member of AREC is campaigning to be elected as PEO President-elect for 2012 PEO Council Elections. 

If you elect me as President-elect, I will strive to:

• Establish a climate of fiscal restraint and responsibility;
• Involve members more, in our self-regulating profession through proactive government relations and the definition of areas of practice;
• Enhance public protection through strengthened
legislation and enforcement, such that only licensed engineers undertake engineering work;
• Develop a licensure model that captures the interests of all applicants to PEO and provides effective value at each stage of the licensing process;
• Embrace emerging disciplines; and
• Foster an effective and constructive relationship with OSPE, our sister Associations and Engineers Canada towards best serving the profession in a climate of financial responsibility.

We must respect our members' money and create the maximum benefit for the profession when spending it!

I plan to work closely with you to strengthen the roles and responsibilities of PEO chapters, committees and task forces in policy development and succession planning. With your support, we will achieve a real transformation in engineering regulation to maintain an accurate public perception of our profession.

PEO organized a Mentorship program in 2010 for EITs to guide them in preparation of their experience record, facing Experience Review Interview for fulfilling the requirements for licensure. Scarborough Chapter was one of the Five Chapters selected for the Pilot program in the year 2010.

Based on successful feedback received from Mentors and Mentees who participated in the PEO Mentorship pilot program, PEO is extending the program to additional Chapters and Scarborough Chapter decided to continue to participate in the Mentorship program.

This program is designed to link licensed Professional Engineers with Engineering Interns to provide guidance and support to the intern as he/she progresses towards professional licensure status.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of PEO and participating through the association can be a very rewarding experience that provides on-going professional skills development.

This Mentorship program is expected to run from October 2011 to March 2012. You would be expected to meet with your Mentee for at least 2 hrs a month over that time period and to provide feedback to the Chapter.

Your valuable experience is needed to help guide a young intern to licensure. Volunteer to be a part of this great, new initiative!

For more information and to participate as a Mentor, please click on PEO Mentorship program and select the Right Side Titled "Subscribe as MENTOR" fill out the form and submit.

LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE. Space is limited to the first 25 mentor/mentee pairs. Preferences in matching will be given in order of receipt of applications.

In cadrul intalnirii, deputatul Lubanovici a adus in discutie o parte din problemele cu care se confrunta comunitatile de romani din Canada, prioritate avand subiectul eliminarii vizelor turistice pentru cetatenii romani. Domnia sa a accentuat cu fermitate faptul ca tara noastra va continua efortul pentru a obtine acest deziderat, dar ca este necesara gasirea unei linii diplomatice comune cu prevederi clare pe care Romania sa le poata indeplini.

Excelenta Sa Philippe Beaulne a mentionat ca ridicarea vizelor presupune analizarea unei multitudini de factori si a adaugat ca desi la acest moment Canada nu este pregatita sa elimine vizele pentru romani, apreciaza progresul pe care Romania l-a facut si spera ca
aceasta evolutie sa continue. "Este important ca lucrurile sa fie bine facute, pentru a putea face pasi inainte, nu inapoi." a sustinut ambasadorul.

De asemenea, demnitarul roman a mentionat necesitatea colaborarii intre autoritatile canadiene si cele romane in vederea infiintarii unor centre culturale in zonele cu concentratie mare de romani, acestia exprimandu-si de nenumarate ori dorinta de a avea asemenea structuri cu rol important in pastrarea traditiilor, afirmarea si promovarea identitatii nationale, in contextul in care "Canada are o politica ce promoveaza multiculturalismul si incurajeaza cunoasterea radacinilor" dupa cum a afirmat ambasadorul canadian, ce a tinut sa sublinieze si importanta deosebita a eforturilor imigrantilor de a se integra in statul gazda.

Alte subiecte supuse dezbaterii de catre deputat au fost: recunoasterea diplomelor de studiu si a permiselor de conducere obtinute in Romania, posibilitati de revigorare a activitatii camerei de comert romano-canadiene si investitiile canadiene in tara.

Ambasadorul a apreciat ca exista un interes ridicat al companiilor canadiene fata de resursele naturale din Romania, dovada fiind numarul mare de solicitari cu privire la regimul investitiilor din tara. De asemenea a adus in discutie acordul in domeniul securității sociale între România și Canada, intrat în vigoare la inceputul lunii si in baza caruia, cetatenii care au lucrat in ambele tari, pot beneficia de drepturi de pensie conform normelor legislației române și legislației canadiene.

Excelenta Sa a facut mentiuni privitoare la actualele negocieri purtate de catre Uniunea Europeana si Canada in domeniul economiei si al comertului, adaugand ca acest acord in stadiu de proiect nu vizeaza doar libertatea de miscare a marfurilor si serviciilor, ci creste
si flexibilitatea profesionistilor de a se misca in spatiul Uniunii Europene - Canada, mentionand faptul ca acesta va deschide importante perspective nu numai pentru viitorul relatiilor UE - Canada, ci si pentru relatiile transatlantice in general.

Discutiile s-au finalizat cu perspectiva realizarii unui forum economic intre cele doua tari, pentru care este necesara stabilirea unor obiective clare si determinarea domeniilor de lucru, cu posibilitatea corelarii acestui eveniment cu o vizita la nivel inalt.

Dialogul dintre cele doua parti a ramas deschis, iar problemele care nu au fost abordate urmeaza a fi consemnate intr-un raport ce va fi trimis Ambasadei pentru a putea identifica solutii concrete cu privire la acestea.

Agreement on Social Security Between the Government of Canada and the Government of Romania

Acordul în domeniul securității sociale între România și Canada a intrat în vigoare la 1 noiembrie 2011.

Odată cu intrarea în vigoare a Acordului, foștii asigurați ai sistemului public de pensii din România, rezidenți pe
teritoriul canadian, pot să se adreseze Service Canada în vederea depunerii dosarului pentru acordarea unor drepturi de pensie din România. Astfel, foștii asigurați români pot beneficia de drepturi de pensie conform normelor legislației române și legislației canadiene.

Programele canadiene de pensii incluse în acest Acord sunt Canada Pension Plan și pensia federală de bătrânețe (Old Age Security). Pentru persoanele rezidente în provincia Québec, Acordul se aplică doar în ceea ce privește pensia federală de bătrânețe (Old Age Security), restul beneficiilor făcând obiectul unui document juridic separat, aflat în curs de ratificare.

Informații despre modul de aplicare a Acordului pot fi găsite pe site-ul Service Canada la adresa http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/isp/pub/ibfa/romaniai.shtml (Infosheet on the Agreement on Social Security between Canada and Romania).

De asemenea, formularele pentru constituirea dosarelor în vederea obținerii drepturilor de pensie pot fi accesate la adresa http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/cgibin/search/eforms/index.cgi?app=list&group=IBF&dept=sc<=e (formularele: CAN/RO 204, CAN/RO 202, CAN/RO 124, CAN/RO 203).

Statistics Canada also upgraded July's gross domestic product a tick to 0.4 per cent on Monday, which places the economy on track to post a strong three per cent gain in the third quarter.

Following a 0.4 per cent contraction in the second quarter, and expectations of softness due to the market turmoil that took hold in early late July, some analysts had speculated it was possible for Canada to have suffered a technical recession of two negative quarters over the summer.

But that is no longer in the realm of possibility, given the bigger than expected numbers in the first two months.

"Even assuming a soft September, the quarter could come in at 2.9 per cent," said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist with CIBC World Markets.

"We still see growth slipping back below two per cent in the fourth quarter, but odds are increasing that the second half should end up well above the Bank of Canada's recent projection barring some new, unforeseen shock," he added.

Scotiabank's Derek Holt said the stronger two months means that September would need to have seen a disastrous 0.5 per cent retrenchment - and there were no signs that happened given the 61,000 pick up in jobs during the month - for third-quarter growth to have come in as weak as the Bank of Canada's call of two per cent.

"Indeed, the recession chatter of a few weeks ago looks pretty ridiculous in light of almost four per cent GDP growth in the latest three months.

The consensus of economists had expected a 0.2 per cent increase in August, and did not foresee July's revision.

However, August's expansion was not as strong in other areas - the agency noted the country's gross domestic product would have remained unchanged but for the 2.8 per cent jump in the energy sector.

Overall, industries tied to Canada's domestic economy did well, while those related to exports did not.

The financial sector, as well as real estate and insurance, retail and construction all posted gains.

On the flipside, manufacturing fell 0.4 per cent, wholesale trade 1.4 per cent, and transport and warehousing was also down slightly on weak foreign demand and strong dollar.

The public sector (public administration, education and health care) overall was unchanged, as was mining.

Economists were uniform in saying the stronger than expected state of the economy is unlikely to materially impact the Bank of Canada's position on interest rates.

Analysts still expect the central bank to keep its target overnight rate at one per cent until at least the middle of next year, and some say until well into 2013.

My name is Victor Ragusila. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS), working on legged robots and how to achieve running motion with them. Before that i had graduated from UofT, Engineering Science division. I have also experience working in R&D, having completed a year at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), working on a variety of prototype robots.

I feel it is important however to be involved in university clubs and teams. While an undergraduate student, i started a robotics team on campus, building underwater autonomous vehicles. Later, during my graduate studies, I worked on the team that flew the first successful human powered ornithopter, making news around the world. After that projectachieved its goal, together with some of the members of that team, I started the University of Toronto Human Powered Vehicle Design Team (UofT HPVDT).

The goal of the HPVDT is to promote, research and build human powered vehicle. We compete each year in the ASME Human Powered Vehicle Competition with a new high speed bicycle. In 2011, only our second year of participating, we achieved first place overall at this competition. The vehicle is able to negotiate obstacles, speed bumps and carry groceries. It is however not an average bicycle, as it has a maximum speed well in excess of 100km/h. We are preparing to find out exactly how fast it can go, by competing in the 2011 World Human Powered Vehicle Speed challenge in Nevada. On a 6 mile strip of flat, straight road, the fastest vehicles around the world try to beat the 132km/h world record. Our last year entry set the collegiate record at 102km/h, and this year's bike is much faster.

The trip to Nevada is from Sept 10 to Sept 18. I am looking for people and companies interested in helping us get there, by sponsoring us with the funds needed for air tickets and rental car. We can achieve good media exposure for any company interested. An article appeared in the Toronto Star on august 26th about our team. http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1045060--u-of-t-engineers-design-bicycle-that-can-top-100-km-h.

We are also working to have a reporter from the Star present at the competition in Nevada, as well as a crew from Discovery Channel. Beside media exposure, we participate in many campus activities, such as club fairs, presentations, etc.

Thank You for your consideration.

The purpose of the Forum is to discuss and plan the roadmap to TAKE BACK MANUFACTURING in Ontario.

The Forum participants are deeply worried about the rapid loss of our prosperity via the decline of manufacturing in our economy.

The Forum provides a much broader representation of industry and educational stakeholders and they believe that to be positioned for success we must get our Government to focus on improving the Canadian business and educational environments.

Marie Laird, 2011 SME Toronto Chair stated: "Individually many organizations have been trying to get government to listen for years, but they've been largely ignored. We all need to understand that if you live in Ontario, the well-being of manufacturing affects you - whether or not you know it. Take Back Manufacturing is about having ONE voice and ONE agenda. It's about what we all want and need: Strong manufacturing in Ontario again."

Nigel Southway, SME Operations Manager stated: "Everyone knows the issues and the situation, but little has been actively done to fix it. We are very excited about the feedback so far from all the societies and associations we have invited to join the forum, and everyone involved believes it offers a great opportunity to combined efforts to getthings done. Similar groups exist in the USA and we are sharing data and approaches.

The ultimate goal of Take Back Manufacturing is to get government, educators and industry leadership to start working closer together to plan the recovery of the declining manufacturing sectors in Ontario.

The TBM Forum is presently working to formulate its recommendations and then it will be Government and others that set policies turn to listen!

We welcome you views and input...

We are certain many other organizations and individuals shares our view and concerns and we invite all our members and readers to add comments to the TBM database, so if you have comments or suggestions after you read on please contact us at nigel.southway@smetoronto.ca.

The decision to revoke citizenship is rare, and a large-scale crackdown such as this one appears to be unprecedented.
The people were identified through investigations conducted across the country by police and the Citizenship and Immigration Department. People identified by the investigations will receive letters informing them of the government's decision.

The move sends a "very clear message" to anyone who thinks of abusing Canada's citizenship system, Kenney said Wednesday.
"We are in the process of notifying them that we will revoke their citizenship because Canadian citizenship is not for sale," Kenney told reporters in Toronto.

Roma va deveni in acest an Capitala românilor de pretutindeni, fiind primul an in care aceasta manifestare se organizeaza in afara granitelor României. Pana acum, românii de pretutindeni se intalneau anual la Mangalia. In acest an, emigratia romaneasca da un semn de maturitate si stabilitate, organizand aceasta intalnire in tara cu cea mai mare comunitate romaneasca din lume.

Festivalul Callatis se mută la Roma

Festivalul Callatis se muta de la Mangalia la Roma. Incredibil, dar e cat se poate de adevarat! Callatis va fi la Roma! "Colaborarea excelenta cu Eugen Terteleac la evenimente de mare amploare, precum si capacitatea organizatorica a Asociatiei Romanilor din Italia, m-au incurajat sa iau aceasta decizie. Sunt convins ca, intre 9 si 15 august 2011, Ca­pitala Romanilor de Pretutindeni va fi Roma", declara Cornel Diaconu.

Pentru cateva ore, in prezenta a mii de turisti si localnici, pietele centrale ale statiunilor turistice din apropierea Romei devin o insula de su­flet romanesc, de cultura ro­ma­neas­ca.

"Plaza Romania" va fi un spatiu de promovare a traditiilor romanesti, un atelier de creatie interactiv, sustinut de micii artisti din cercul "Culoare si Vis", condus de profesoara si pictorita Elena Stoica. Este o experienta deja verificata pe cateva continente, unde acesti copii ta­len­tati, dintr-un sat de la poalele Mun­ti­lor Carpati, au fost profesori de de­sen pentru mii de cetateni din SUA, Canada, Franta. Lucrarile realizate in "Plaza Romania" vor fi daruite spec­ta­ctorilor, impreuna cu gadgeturi personalizate. In aceeasi piata romana vor fi prezenti si mesteri populari, iar membrii ansamblurilor folclorice vor deveni profesori adhoc de dans po­pular si romanesc pentru turisti si localnici.

La "Simpozionul romanilor din Italia", reprezentanti ai guvernului ita­lian vor discuta fata in fata cu ro­manii din Italia despre respectarea drep­turilor si obligatiilor, atat de co­mu­nitatea romanilor (peste 1,5 mi­lioa­­ne de persoane), cat si de statul italian. In ianuarie 2006, de Ziua Unirii, Slatina a intrat in Cartea Recordu­rilor: 14.000 de slatineni sunt mandri ca au stabilit un record mondial, dansand Hora Unirii la minus 20 de grade Celsius.

Anul acesta, la Roma, se poate stabili un nou record. Organizatorii vor sa marcheze astfel implinirea a 150 de ani de Unitate a Italiei. Si, cu sprijinul Primariei Generale a Romei, in Piazza del Popolo se va incinge un dans dedicat istoriei poporului frate italian. Peste 15.000 de romani, ita­lieni si turisti aflati in Cetatea Eterna pot intra in Cartea Recordurilor. Participantii la eveniment vor primi un document care atesta acest fapt: "Eu am intrat in Cartea Recordurilor, Roma, 13 august 2011".

Orice exces vine dintr-o lipsa. Mutarea Festivalului Callatis la Roma poate fi considerata un exces, dar e unul fericit. La Mangalia nu a mai pu­tut avea loc, pentru ca erau alte prio­­ritati. La Roma iata ca se poate. Adica in vechiul centru al lumii. De fapt, probabil, acolo ii este locul. Romanii, cu o parte din patrimoniul lor cultural si spiritual, vor fi in centrul lumii.

Abstract:

First, one must sustain balance on the way to his or her goals, beginning from current reality, honestly appraised and understood to the best of our abilities (not always easy). As well, one must sustain focus on moving forward. Balance must exist between the positive goals and the drag we feel from hurdles we must honestly face. How fast one tries to progress must be balanced with the need to rest periodically, to keep in shape physically, mentally and spiritually to sustain the full path to success.

Second, one must sustain balance continuously among all five elements while he or she progresses. In the Compass these are shown at the four points - honesty, positive attitude, creative thinking, trial and error habit-building, with balancing shown at the centre where the balance between these would occur.

We invite you to attend this seminar to learn more from Dave Crisp, a former Senior HR VP, the current guru in training and coaching effectiveness individuals, leaders and organizations.

About Dave Crisp & Crisp Strategies Inc.:

Dave Crisp founded Crisp Strategies Inc. in 2002 to give people the easy steps to five key skills that help everyone (and their organizations) succeed faster and better and enjoy life more. Through seven careers, Dave developed hundreds of leaders, ultimately heading human resources at Hudson's Bay Company, a national top-25 employer, through 14 years and three CEOs. His people skills programs helped it become a "best company to work for" despite more than 110 mergers and re-organizations, nearly one a month. During that time he also led a ten million dollar Internet start-up that put joint ventures into six countries in 10 months. Earlier successes included improving one organization's performance more than 600% over three years.

Before the Bay, Dave directed Personnel and collective bargaining at two Toronto hospitals following a career in education, counseling and leadership, which included negotiating for and leading a large teachers' union group and ultimately running for Member of Parliament. Dave holds a BA in Psychology, a Masters of Education and the CHRP - Canadian Human Resources Professional designation - as well as various education leadership qualifications.

   Daniela Paraschiv absoventa 1991 a Politehnicii din București, Facultatea Energetică, după ce a lucrat 4 ani în proiectare la Proiect Metrou S.A., s-a mutat în 1995 la  Titan Mașini Grele, lucrînd apoi din 1997 la Radet Proiect. Decide în 2000 să se mute cu soțul și fiul, în Canada.   

 În prezent lucrează la MCW Custom Energy Solution din Toronto ca Professional Energy Engineer și ca profesor la Colegiul Sheridan, în Oakville.     

 Reporter:  Locuiești cu familia în Great Toronto Area de peste 7 ani Daniela. Cine sau  te-a decis să te muți în  Canada?    

Daniela Paraschiv: A fost un cumul de factori. În timpul celor 9 ani de experienta profesională în România, zilnic simțeam că nu am șansa de a mă dezvoltă profesional, că inginerilor tineri nu li se dădea șansa să dovedească cît știu să facă.     Soțul a reușit să facă cursuri în Anglia și să observe diferență dintre oportunitățile colegilor ingineri din alte țări, cu cele avute de noi în București. El avea doctorat și un MBA totuși nu avea aceleași șanse că cei din afară țării.   

Reporter: Cum a fost începutul în inginerie, aici în Canada?     

Daniela Paraschiv: Mai întîi am făcut un curs de engleză la un centru comunitar din Downtown Toronto, aici am aflat de un program co-op pentru newcomers, program ce se încheia cu un intership într-o companie.   Am început să fac "job hunting"  înainte de a termina cursul de engleza și am obținut un contract de 6 luni la Celestica în industria electronică. Cel mai mare beneficiu pe care l-am obținut de la acel job a fost îmbunătățirea limbii și familiarizarea cu unele standarde și reglementări în industrie. În timpul acestui contract am început și cursul de co-op din Richmond Hill sperând ca să se finalizele cu un voluntariat în inginerie. Ceea ce nu s-a întâmplat și de aceea. l-a sfârșitul contractului cu Celestica, m-am înscris la un alt curs la Yorkdale "All careers co-op certificate program". Am continuat să aplic pe tot parcursul acestui curs și am obținut primul job de inginer în 2001 la MCW.    

Reporter: Este dificil pentru o femeie să-și găsească locul în comunitatea inginerilor din Canada?     

Daniela Paraschiv: Este greu în general să pătrunzi în comunitatea inginerilor din Canada. Nu cred că există o diferență între femei și bărbați. Totul este un cerc vicios. Ți se cere experiență canadiană în inginerie ca să fii angajat și nu te angajează nimeni pentru că nu o ai. Deci cum o poți căpăta dacă nu ți se da șansa? Networking-ul este cea mai importantă unealtă. Dacă cineva te recomanda în companie șansele tale cresc cu 75%. Că să te remarci singur trebuie să ai noroc și răbdare. După ce ți se da șansa de a lucra ca inginer, totul depinde de tine.     

Reporter: Știu că ai făcut mai multe cursuri Daniela. Care consideri dintre ele că te-a ajutat cel mai mult că să îți dezvolți carieră de inginer?    

Daniela Paraschiv:  În general orice curs ajută. Că newcomer trebuie să începi cu cursurile de limbă/pronunție chiar dacă te descurci cât de cât. Acolo stabilești contacte și afli atât de multe informații de la colegii care sunt în aceeași situație și care au același goal "jobul". Încă mai cred că dacă nu ai cunoștințe să te recomande cursurile co-op sunt calea de urmat. Am cunoscut foarte mulți ingineri români la cursul din Yorkdale. Toți sunt Professional Engineers acum.   Te numești inginer și ești tratat că atare numai dacă ai această certificare. Canada îți oferă multe oportunități că să te dezvolți professional. Totul presupune timp și ambiție. Odată ce ți-ai setat targetul este simplu să-ți găsești singur calea să-l atingi. Cursurile pe care le-am luat au fost în specialitatea în care lucrez și toate mi-au folosit.    

 Reporter: Care e cea mai mare provocare pe care ai avut-o?    

 Daniela Paraschiv: Limbă cred că este cea mai mare provocare. Dacă țintești la un job cu răspundere trebuie să demonstrezi că ești un bun communicator. Limbajul tehnic practic l-am luat de la zero. Caut să-mi inbunatatesc engleză în mod continuu. La un moment dat uiți că trebuie să faci lucrul acesta însă este un 'must".    

Reporter: Care consideri că e cea mai dificilă încercare pe care ai avut-o de-a lungul profesiei?    

Daniela Paraschiv: În domeniul în care lucrez eu, proporția bărbați/femei este  85-90%. Nu e ușor  stai la negocieri cu 8-10 bărbați  si sa convingi  ca  femeie  ca ai dreptate. Dar satisfacția este  când vezi  ca ai reușit.  

Reporter: Care a fost cel  bun  sfat pe care l-ai  primit,  care te-a ajutat de-a lungul carierei?     

Daniela Paraschiv: Nu  spun  ca nu am primit sfaturi. Nu cunoșteam pe nimeni care lucra ca  inginer. Cunoștințele cu care am luat contact,  doar ne-au dezvăluit cursul evenimentelor trăite de ei. Noi am balansat aceste informații si am luat deciziile pe care le-am considerat avantajoase pentru noi.      

Reporter: Mulțumesc, Daniela pentru informațiile oferite si închei invitându-te sa  transmiți un mesaj celor care doresc  aibe success.   

Daniela Paraschiv:  Mai devreme sau  mai  târziu,  mai greu sau mai ușor. fiecare își găsește drumul dorit. Totul este   sa ai un target bine definit si sa-ti focusezi toata atenția  in direcția  dorita.

Graficele emblemelor au fost prezentate anterior in presa noastra locala, atunci insa numele creatorilor a fost intentionat omis, pentru ca am solicitat participarea comunitatii romanesti la alegerea celor mai representative embleme si nu am dorit ca numele creatorilor sa influenteze opinia publicului participant.

Marturisim ca deliberarea nu a fost usoara, toate creatiile fiind interesante, marcind stradania, efortul si ingeniozitatea creatorilor lor, dar cum in orice concurs trebuie sa existe un podium si aici am fost nevoiti sa facem aceasta selectie. In urma deliberarilor, in care au fost considerate atit criteriile cerintelor concursului, cit si participarea publicului din comunitate, asa cum el ne-a transmis alegerea lui, executivul AREC-SOC a concluzionat:

Locul 1 - recompensat cu Diploma si premiu in valoare de $300 se atribuie concurentului Mircea Vosneac, pentru creatia cu numarul 01;
Locul 2 - recompensat cu Diploma se atribuie concurentuei Loredana Dersidan, pentru creatia cu numarul 08;
Locul 3 - recompensat cu Diploma se atribuie concurentuei Iulia Carla Bompa, pentru creatia cu numarul 05;

Numerotarea emblemelor, pentru consistenta, este aceasi ca in precedentul articol din presa locala, acum fiind completate cu numele creatorilor cistigatori.

Tot ca o consideratie la ajutorul primit pentru acest concurs, am convenit ca celor trei cistigatori sa le acordam onorific calitatea de a fi membrii ai asociatiei noastre, pe durata acestui an, chiar daca nu sunt ingineri de profesie. In acest fel ei vor beneficia de toate facilitatile membrilor de drept ai AREC-SOC pentru tot restul anului.

Premierea cistigatorilor concursului nostru dorim sa o facem in cadrul festiv oferit de evenimentul Zilei Romano-Canadiene, ce se va desfasura pe data de 5 iunie 2011 in rotonda de la City Hall din Kitchener, aproximativ in jurul orei 4.00 PM (16.00), pentru detalii suplimentare va rugam sa urmariti programul de desfasurare a acestui eveniment, atit in presa romaneasca locala, pe site-ul AREC (www.arec.ca), cit si pe cel al asociatiei ARTA (www.arta.ca).

Multumim inca odata tuturor concurentilor pentru participarea lor la concursul nostru, cum dealtfel aducem la cunostinta ca emblema definitiva va fi prezentata si utilizata public in scurt timp, AREC-SOC rezervindu-si dreptul de a adopta modificari la emblema, pentru ca ea sa fie cit mai reprezentativa si edificatoare in scopul in care a fost creata.

RESEARCH    EDUCATE    NETWORK

Included in the study is information on qualifications and attribute requirements, along with career opportunities for those considering immigrating to Canada. For instance, while levels of immigration and Canadian graduation established in 2008-2009 are likely sufficient to balance markets across the coming decade, issues such as replacement demands related to retirements in many occupations will add to current challenges in recruiting experienced engineers.

The mentees Tiberiu Orban and Andrei Horga have great expectations from the program and hope it will help them find work in their field of expertise.

Tiberiu is an Electrical Engineer who has not worked in his field since he came to Canada. He hopes he will have the chance to learn a lot from his Romanian-Canadian mentor. "I will do my best in order to use the most of my mentor's knowledge, advice and support, hopefully resulting in me succeeding to reach my career goals," says Tiberiu.

As a Civil Engineer, Bogdan knows that it will take time and effort for him to be able to work in his field, but he is ready for the challenge. "I had heard about AREC and when I came to Canada it was the first place I went for help and advice. I am confident that the mentoring program will give me the knowledge and confidence I need to build my career."

Ileana Cioc is thrilled to participate to the program as a mentor. "When I came to Canada 10 years ago, such programs did not exist. I am glad I can share my experience now and help a newcomer succeed."

Emil Caraghin is also enthusiastic about him being a mentor to a Romanian-Canadian newcomer. "I am happy that my experience will help others accomplish their goals," says Emil.

The pilot-program is coordinated by Victoria Bularda, who has been a mentor to newcomers for more than five years. "As a mentor, I have collaborated in the past with various non-profit organizations. Working with AREC, JVS Toronto and TRIEC is an opportunity for me to help others and learn at the same time."

The pilot program is open to newcomer engineers of Romanian background and will run for four months.

Dorim sa va reamintim ca termenul de predare a carnetelor de munca la Casa de Pensii este 30 septembrie 2010, conform Hotararii de Guvern nr. 1456/2009 pentru modificarea alin. (6) al art. 2 din Hotararea Guvernului nr. 1.768/2005 privind preluarea din carnetele de munca a datelor referitoare la perioadele de stagiu de cotizare realizat in sistemul public de pensii anterior datei de 1 aprilie 2001, publicata in Monitorul Oficial, Partea I, nr. 820, din 27 noiembrie 2009.

Astfel,

Termenul pentru arhivarea electronica a cartilor de munca a fost prelungit pana in 30 septembrie 2010

Guvernul Romaniei a adoptat o hotarare prin care termenul-limita prevazut de alin. (6) art. 2 din HG nr.1.768/2005 se prelungeste pana la data de 30 septembrie 2010.

Astfel, alin. (6) al art. 2 se modifică, după cum urmează: "(6) Termenul-limita de predare a carnetelor de munca de catre persoanele fizice si juridice pentru activitatea de preluare a datelor este 30 septembrie 2010".

Operatiunea de preluare din carnetele de munca, inclusiv din documentele în completare la carnetele de munca, a datelor referitoare la perioadele de stagiu realizat în sistemul public de pensii anterior datei de 1 aprilie 2001, precum si a veniturilor salariale aferente a inceput din 2006, perioada de derulare a actiunii fiind initial estimata la 2 ani.

Conform prevederilor legale, persoanele fizice si persoanele juridice care detin sau pastreaza asupra lor carnetele de munca sunt obligate sa le puna la dispozitia casei teritoriale de pensii pe a carei raza teritoriala isi au domiciliul/sediul firmei pentru preluarea datelor referitoare la perioadele de stagiu de cotizare realizat in sistemul public de pensii anterior datei de 1 aprilie 2001, precum si la veniturile salariale aferente. Pentru aceasta, inainte de a fi predate, carnetele de munca trebuie sa fie completate cu toate inscrierile pana la data de 1 aprilie 2001, inscrieri care sa fie certificate de catre autoritatile abilitate. De asemenea, in momentul predarii, carnetele de munca trebuie sa fi e insotite de actul de identitate al titularului, in copie, din care sa rezulte codul numeric personal.

Conducerea Casei Nationale de Pensii si alte drepturi de Asigurari Sociale (CNPAS) a luat o astfel de decizie de scanare a datelor din carnetele de munca, pe de o parte, in scopul intocmirii unei baze de date unice la nivel national - ce va cuprinde istoricul perioadelor de stagiu realizate in sistemul public de pensii anterior datei de 1 aprilie 2001, precum si al veniturilor salariale obtinute - iar pe de alta parte, pentru implementarea unor proceduri mai sigure de stabilire a drepturilor de pensii cuvenite persoanelor in cauza.

_____________________

Mentionam faptul ca aceasta hotarare se refera la persoanele care sunt inca active, nu pensionarii care sunt in baza de date si primesc deja pensie.

Persoanele fizice si juridice care detin carnetele de munca si nu le vor depune pana la data stabilita (30 septembrie 2010), atunci cand vor solicita pensia si vor trebui sa depuna cartile de munca, vor fi sanctionati cu amenda, conform cu art.11, prin incalcarea prevederilor art. 2 si 9 din HG nr.1.768/2005.

În cazul foștilor asigurați ai sistemului public de pensii, care nu au domiciliul sau reședința în România, carnetul de muncă poate fi prezentat pentru prelucrare casei teritoriale de pensii în a cărei rază au fost asigurați ultima dată sau, după caz, din raza de domiciliu a persoanei desemnate de către titular.

Persoanele care până la data specificată nu au posibilitatea să ajungă în România pentru a depune personal carnetul de muncă, pot împuternici în acest sens o persoană aflată în România care va trebui să prezinte la casa teritorială de pensii următoarele documente:
- carnetul de muncă respectiv;
- o împuternicire în care să fie menționată identitatea titularului carnetului de muncă și a persoanei împuternicite;
- o copie după un act de identitate din care să rezulte codul numeric personal al titularului carnetului de muncă.

După încheierea operațiunilor de înregistrare a datelor, carnetele de muncă, în original, se predau deținătorilor de la care au fost preluate.

Toate cele bune,
--
