这个不知道发哪里好，去就业版块也很牵强，就发这里给麦子处理吧。

这个HRSDC是2003年成立的一个为技术移民服务的非盈利机构。这个邮件是邀请技术移民参加一个讨论会，征集大家对于学生贷款的意见，然后反馈给政府。

参加者每人会得赠$50车马费。

Hello Immigrant Engineers,


Please pass this information onto skilled immigrants who may want to participate.

HRSDC and the BC Government would like to receive feedback from skilled immigrants on the subject of student loans.



Do you know immigrants who may want to participate in these focus groups? Their input is critical and will play an important roll in making change.

There is a $50.00 honorarium, light snacks and coffee supplied. Details below





When: Saturday March 21st, from 9:30am - 12:30PM.



Where: Community Room at MOSAIC, first floor at 1720 GrantStreet off of Commercial Drive



Who: Skilled immigrants – Men and women who have taken bridge training, and those who may not have done so yet. Looking for those who may have secured bridge training funds or tried and not been successful



What: Questions in the focus groups will probe more deeply some of what we examined in the first FAIT project, namely:



o What are skilled immigrants’ perceptions of various financial assistance models? Explore perceptions of loans, grants and different delivery mechanisms.

o What factors influence skilled immigrants’ use of various forms of financial assistance for bridge training?

o What are skilled immigrants’ experiences with various financial assistance models?

o How do perceptions of and experiences with forms of financial assistance models vary by group within the skilled immigrant stream (e.g. region, language, occupation)?



Contact: Sarah Godoy, the discussion group coordinator, at godoy@storm.ca. If you have any questions about the discussion group, or would like more information please contact Stephanie Potter, the project lead, at sp0tter@xplornet.
