India needs "Leader" with Leadership qualities

http://www.snapdeal.com?utm_source=aff_prog&utm_campaign=afts&offer_id=16&aff_id=11651

Today India is going through turbulence in politics where every party wants to rule the nation but without any direction or plan. Its all about coming in power irrespective of thinking how to curb down inflation, rise in rate of basic commodities, provide jobs, and many more endless lists.

Political parties are themselves not sure what they will do after coming in power or the existing government which is so weak where they can see the real picture of their downfall still could not take any stand. This is the real picture of India where even after almost 60 years after independence we are struggling to get a strong party who can rule the country.


However do we really think that parties make change? I think its not about parties anymore its about the leader who drives the entire ship. Every party is lacking a strong leadership due to which our country has become so weak in nature. Lets go back in history and see if any political party has really made a change..The answer is NO, its all about a single leadership which has steered the entire nation and world. Speak of Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther, Hitler, Mandela, General Mao, Che Guevara, Napoleon, Churchill, Washington you will only find the best leadership which has changed the world and created history today. They had a clear idea on making a change what they desired for the people. Their actions and thoughts were crystal clear and not driven by any parties ideologies. Today most of the leadership dies at very young age due to following the ideologies of parties and thinking as per the other thoughts. Everybody today are like trying to become followers of the parties and not trying to really identify a true leader. No efforts are being made by any party to give space for leadership to thrive.

India needs a strong leader who is above all parties ideologies and can take his own stand to bring economic stability as well as recognition among other nations.

Determine your eligibility – Federal skilled workers

Skilled workers are people who are chosen as permanent residents based on their ability to prosper in Canada.

We assess federal skilled worker (FSW) applications based on the factors set out below.

    2. have a valid offer of arranged employment, OR
    3. are an international student who is enrolled in a PhD program in Canada (or who graduated from a Canadian PhD program within the past 12 months) and meet these criteria.

You meet all the minimum requirements below.

Note: If you meet all the conditions set out in sections A and B, we will process your application based on the six selection factors in section C. Even if your application is eligible to be processed, you must meet all of the other FSW program requirements, such as having enough money to support you and your family in Canada.

B) Minimum requirements

Work experience

If your application is eligible to be processed, we will then assess it to see if your work experience is valid.

Your work experience must be:

• for at least one year in the same occupation,

• within the last 10 years, 
    
  AND

• skill type 0 (managerial occupations) or

  on the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC) list.

(The National Occupational Classification is a system used to classify jobs in Canada.)

Language ability

You must meet minimum language levels and include the results of a language test from an agency approved by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) when you apply that shows you meet the minimum language requirement ofCanadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 7.

  AND/OR

• a foreign educational credential, and an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) by an agency approved by CIC to show it is equal to a completed Canadian secondary or post-secondary educational credential.

About the application cap

Due to the large number of applications we get, we can only consider a limited number of applications per year. Between May 4, 2013, and April 30, 2014, we will consider no more than 5,000 complete FSW applications for processing. Within the 5,000 cap, we will consider no more than 300 applications per eligible occupation for processing within this same time frame.

This does not apply if you:

• have a valid offer of arranged employment, or
• are applying under the PhD stream (there is a cap of 1,000 applications in this stream, from May 4, 2013 to April 30, 2014).

C) Six selection factors

If you meet all the conditions set out in sections A and B above, we will process your application based on the six selection factors in the skilled worker points grid.Footnote1 They are:

• your skills in English and/or French, Canada’s two official languages,
• your education,
• your work experience,
• your age,
• whether you have arranged employment in Canada, and
• your adaptability (how well you are likely to settle here).

To see how many points you might get, read about the selection factors

D) Proof of funds

You must also show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you arrive in Canada.

• include the results of your test when you apply to be a skilled worker. If you do not, we will not process your application and will send it back to you.

Do not ask for your language test result to be sent directly to CIC. Submit your original test result with your application.

About test results

• Use the tables below to see how many points you will get for your test results.
• CIC will use the test results as proof of your language skills.

Proof of funds – Federal skilled workers

You must show that you have enough money to support yourself and your family after you get to Canada. You cannot borrow this money from another person. You must be able to use this money to pay the costs of living for your family (even if they are not coming with you).

You will need to show proof to the Canadian visa office in your home country that you have enough money when you apply to immigrate.

The amount of money you need to support your family is set by the size of your family. We update these amounts every year.

Number of Family Members	Funds Required (in Canadian dollars)
1	$11,115
2	$13,837
3	$17,011
4	$20,654
5	$23,425
6	$26,419
7 or more	$29,414

You do not have to show that you have these funds if:

• you have a valid offer of arranged employment in Canada AND
• you are currently working or authorized to work in Canada.

How much money should you bring?

It is a good idea to research how much it costs to live in the place where you plan to settle in Canada.

Bring as much money as you can to make moving and finding a home in Canada easier. Note, however, that Canadian customs regulations require you to declare if you are bringing more than C$10,000 into Canada. If you do not tell them, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:

• cash
• documents that show property or capital payable to you (such as stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc.) or
• documents that guarantee payment of a set amount of money, which are payable to you (such as bankers’ drafts, cheques, travellers’ cheques or money orders).
