@djohnstonO Excellente mise en contexte d'un enjeu politique qui risque inutilement la provocation de la minorité anglophone au Québec.

Le Québec doit honorer son engagement de 1997 ledevoir.com/opinion/idees/… Promises made by the govt of QC relating to control and management of English schools should guide the interpretation of Sec. 23 of the Charter in QC #polqc #polcan

Are you kidding me????? Authenticator code (EKNQ) (Required field)Error 1: The code you entered does not match the two-factor account you are trying to access. WTF is happening?

@AndreaBastin Predicted.

@dtgoodman @CitImmCanada Totally predictable and totally unacceptable technological hostage-taking. No other government department operates this badly.

@CitImmCanada The Representative PR Portal is still not working since Friday. All of the forms show "in progress" (even though client already signed the IMM 5669). The forms will not stay on "ready to submit". They revert back to "in progress", so nothing can be submitted. Please fix ASAP

Starting July 31, 2023 you’ll need to set up multi-factor authentication if you’re: - creating an account using GCKey - using GCKey to sign in to an existing account Multi-factor authentication helps keep your IRCC accounts secure. Each time you use GCKey to access your account, you’ll need to use your multi-factor authentication method to confirm your identity. This mandatory step helps protect your personal information by preventing unauthorized access to your account. Have questions about the process?

@CitImmCanada I'm bracing myself for what is going to be an almost inevitable difficult transition to multi-factor authentication since the smallest changes to immigration technology are often accompanied by hundreds of thousands if not millions of lost person-hours. Bad design is all.

@bfcarlson I don't know that Hannah Arendt, one of the great minds of the 20th century, would agree. She argued that the German atrocities of WW2 and the Holocaust in particular were made possible because people did not think. It's not clear from the clip what is meant by thinking though.

Your two minutes of inspiration of the day

@kingdiak @jubaboussag @CitImmCanFR Dans ce cas il faudra faire évaluer vos options. Il n'y a pas de recette magique malheureusement. Tout va dépendre de vos qualifications. Mais une chose est certaine - les francophones sont généralement priviligiés par le Canada.

Située dans l’est de l’Ontario, Hawkesbury est une ville dont les habitants sont majoritairement francophones. Cette communauté fournit un grand nombre de services en français, ce qui aide l’intégration sociale, culturelle et communautaire des immigrants. Découvrez-en davantage : ow.ly/tw7k50PmRg1

@danielthibault On dirait que les États-Unis est le seul pays qui attirent les touristes de l'espace. Qu'est-ce qu'ils ont nos vousins que les autres pays n'ont pas? 🤣

@CitImmCanFR Comment partir sans trop perdre du temps dans les procédures administratives?

@nkeung @SeanFraserMP Long overdue!

@SeanFraserMP says #Canada will roll out reforms on the international student program, including the #verification process. It's also developing a digital portal to authenticate admission letters. #FakeCollegeAdmission #deportation thestar.com/news/canada/20…

@SeanFraserMP Simple fix @SeanFraserMP @CitImmCanada : create an admission letters confirmation portal for DLIs. They complete 4-5 fields of information - Name, program, start date -- generate Admissions Letter Confirmation No, provide it to student who includes it in the application. Voilà.

I issued a statement regarding the distressing situation faced by international students with fraudulent acceptance letters. Your well-being remains our priority, and we’re taking action to address this issue. bit.ly/42GDsre See below for a summary of our measures.

@bordersinform @ESDC_GC 😡😡😡🤯🤯🤯

@ESDC_GC … 😭😭😭. I can’t even report the problem bc the page times out. I‘ve even used Edge as instructed. #portalwoes #LMIAportal #SOS #Needs2BfiledToday 😭

@noorjinah 😂

@TimothyMorson You’re famous!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

ledevoir.com/societe/792795… I'm in the news. Le Devoir, a leading Montreal newspaper, covered my misadventures with the MIFI French-language test for immigration consultants. Bureaucratic bungling at its best.

@DawImmigration @SeanFraserMP Good point, Chris. One little tweek to this existing system and @CitImmCanFR and @SeanFraserMP can solve the problem of fake admission letters.

We’re actively investigating recent reports of fraudulent acceptance letters. To be clear: Our focus is on identifying culprits, not penalizing victims. Victims of fraud will have an opportunity to demonstrate their situation & present evidence to support their case.

@bfcarlson "Information has become a form of garbage, not only incapable of answering the most fundamental human questions but barely useful in providing coherent direction to the solution of even mundane problems" --in Technopoly

In 1997, media critic Neil Postman had an apt—and brutal—analogy for how Americans relate to technology.

@bfcarlson I have been regularly overdosing on the original documentary since I discovered it at the beginning of the pandemic. It is brilliant and should be seen in its entirety. Here's a link to the full-length version: youtu.be/t1axnba_Ueg

Can't stop watching this psychedelic 1967 clip where philosopher Marshall McLuhan uncannily anticipated what it's like to live in our world of social media

@Monicajobrien Absolutely yes, Mo. My son built me this one -- he made the desktop (quality hardwood, cost approx $600 -- he's a furniture maker with a local business) and I got the very solid frame only (no top) from a Vancouver company - motiongrey.com - for $400. Really top quality.

Standing desk yea or nay - considering getting one. What say you?
