ICTC’s Workshops Online prepare internationally educated professionals from Immigration to Integration into Canada’s ICT sector OTTAWA – October 7, 2009 – A new initiative by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) is set to improve the integration of internationally educated professionals (IEPs) into the Canadian information and communications technology (ICT) workforce. ICTC’s Workshops Online: Immigration to Integration have been developed in English for IEPs in Canada and overseas, along with stakeholders providing services to IEPs internationally and nationally across Canada, including visa officers, immigrant serving agencies, immigration officers, settlement and employment counsellors. Workshops Online will teach essential knowledge about working in Canada, including the process of coming to Canada, what Canadian ICT employers need, and resources available to develop technical, business, language, and workplace communication competencies. This initiative will further establish Canada as a leader in the attraction, retention and integration of IEPs in the ICT sector. “Attracting skilled and dedicated newcomers to Canada in the field of information and communications technology will contribute to Canada’s future prosperity and success,” said Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism. As an international educational tool, ICTC’s Workshops Online will help to ensure IEPs are better prepared and informed about Canada, including regional differences regarding employment opportunities in the ICT sector. According to ICTC’s most recent Outlookfindings, the Canadian ICT sector will need to recruit between 15,800 and 22,350 ICT workers each year between 2008 and 2015. IEPs will account for 30% or more of the annual supply of ICT professionals. "ICTC’s Workshops Online will be an indispensable transition resource for IEPs whether they are planning to come to Canada or are here already," said ICTC President Paul D. Swinwood while announcing the launch of Workshops Online today. “It is also a key integration tool designed to help immigration stakeholders orient and assist IEPs throughout the process of adapting to Canada and transitioning into the Canadian ICT workforce.” ICTC’s Workshops Online can be accessed free of charge from the ICTC website at: http://workshops.ictc-ctic.ca The project is funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada and is part of ICTC’s Immigration Initiatives. Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) is a not-for-profit sector council that strives to create a diverse, prepared and highly educated Canadian ICT industry and workforce. We forge partnerships that will help develop the quantity and quality of ICT professionals needed to maintain and improve Canada’s position as a leader in the global marketplace. -30- LES ATELIERS EN LIGNE DU CTIC PRÉPARENT LES PROFESSIONNELS FORMÉS À L’ÉTRANGER DE L’IMMIGRATION À L’INTÉGRATION AU SECTEUR CANADIEN DES TIC OTTAWA – 7 octobre 2009 – Une nouvelle initiative du Conseil des technologies de l’information et des communications (CTIC) vise à améliorer l’intégration des professionnels formés à l’étranger (PFÉ) à la main-d’œuvre canadienne des technologies de l’information et des communications (TIC). Les ateliers en ligne : de l’immigration à l’intégration du CTIC ont été conçus en anglais à l’intention des professionnels formés à l'étranger qui sont au Canada et outre-mer, de même que des intervenants offrant des services aux PFÉ à l’échelle internationale et nationale à la grandeur du Canada, et des agents de visa, des organismes d’aide aux immigrants, des agents d’immigration, des conseillers en matière d’établissement et d’emploi. Les ateliers enseigneront des connaissances essentielles pour travailler au Canada, notamment le processus à suivre pour venir au Canada, ce dont ont besoin les employeurs canadiens en TIC et les ressources offertes pour favoriser le perfectionnement des compétences techniques, opérationnelles, linguistiques et en communication au travail. Ce projet permettra de renforcer la position du Canada à titre de chef de file pour attirer, maintenir en poste et intégrer des professionnels formés à l’étranger dans le secteur des TIC. « Attirer au Canada des nouveaux venus qualifiés et spécialisés dans le domaine des technologies de l’information et des communications contribuera à la prospérité et à la réussite du Canada », a déclaré Jason Kenney, ministre de la Citoyenneté, de l’Immigration et du Multiculturalisme. En tant qu’outil éducatif international, les ateliers en ligne du CTIC permettront de s’assurer que les professionnels formés à l’étranger seront mieux préparés et informés au sujet du Canada et, tout particulièrement, des différences régionales concernant les possibilités d’emploi dans le secteur des TIC. Selon les plus récentes constatations du rapport Perspective du CTIC, le secteur canadien des TIC devra recruter entre 15 800 et 22 350 travailleurs en TIC chaque année entre 2008 et 2015. Les professionnels formés à l’étranger représenteront 30 % ou plus de l’approvisionnement annuel en professionnels en TIC. « Les ateliers en ligne du CTIC seront une ressource indispensable en matière de transition pour les professionnels formés à l’étranger, qu’ils prévoient venir au Canada ou qu’ils soient déjà ici », a affirmé le président du CTIC, Paul D. Swinwood, au lancement des ateliers en ligne aujourd’hui. « Il s’agit d’un outil d’intégration essentiel conçu pour aider les intervenants en immigration à guider et à aider les professionnels formés à l’étranger tout au long des différences étapes d’adaptation au Canada et de leur transition vers la main-d’œuvre canadienne des TIC ». On peut avoir accès gratuitement aux ateliers en ligne du CTIC à partir du site Web du CTIC : http://workshops.ictc-ctic.ca Le projet est financé par Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada et fait partie des Initiatives en matière d’immigration du CTIC. Le Conseil des technologies et des communications (CTIC) est un conseil sectoriel à but non lucratif qui a à cœur de créer une industrie et une main-d’œuvre des TIC diversifiées, préparées et très instruites. Nous établissons des partenariats qui aideront à former des professionnels en TIC en quantité suffisante pour maintenir et améliorer la position du Canada en tant que chef de file dans le marché mondial. www.ictc-ctic.ca -30-

Horário de verão no Canadá e no Brasil

Amig@s,

Só para chamar a atenção de todos que no dia 18 de outubro (domingo), no Brasil, o DF e mais 10 Estados vão adiantar o relógio em uma hora por causa do início do horário de verão por lá. A diferença de fuso horário entre Ottawa e Brasília sobe para duas horas a frente para o Brasil.

Já no dia 1º de novembro (domingo), aqui no Canadá, todos os relógios devem ser atrasados em uma hora devido ao fim do horário de verão ("daylight saving time" em inglês ou "l'heure d'été" em francês) em terras canadenses. Desta forma, a diferença de fuso horário entre Ottawa e Brasília subirá para três horas a frente para o Brasil.

O horário de verão no Brasil segue até o dia 21 de fevereiro de 2010. O Canadá volta a mudar o horário de seus relógios no dia 14 de março.

Vejam as matérias informativas no fim desta mensagem.

Detalhe: aqui no Canadá não tem nenhuma propaganda informativa nos intervalos comerciais dos canais de televisão alertando a populacão, a todo momento, sobre a mudança de horário nos relógios. Por isso, programe-se!

Horário de verão começa no dia 18 de outubro

Período vai até 21 de fevereiro de 2010.
Relógios serão adiantados em 1h. Mudança vale para 10 estados e o DF.

Do G1, com informações da TV Globo

O horário de verão este ano vai começar à 0h de 18 de outubro e vai até à 0h de 21 de fevereiro de 2010. Os relógios terão que ser adiantados em uma hora.

A mudança de horário só vale para os estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul e Distrito Federal.

No ano passado, o período teve início no dia 19 de outubro e durou até 15 de fevereiro deste ano.

Adotado no Brasil desde o verão de 1932, o horário de verão busca o melhor aproveitamento da luz natural, adiantando-se os relógios em uma hora. A medida reduz o consumo de energia elétrica entre 18h e 20h.

Daylight Saving Time in Canada In most of Canada Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March. On the first Sunday in November areas on Daylight Saving Time return to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. When Daylight Saving Time begins turn your clocks ahead one hour. When Daylight Saving Time ends turn your clocks back one hour. In Newfoundland and Labrador Daylight Saving Time begins one minute after midnight (12:01 a.m.) local time on the second Sunday in March. On the first Sunday in November areas on Daylight Saving Time return to Standard Time at one minute after midnight (12:01 a.m.) local time. Eastern Standard Time (EST) becomes Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), and so forth. Some areas of Canada not using Daylight Saving Time include, Fort St. John, Charlie Lake, Taylor and Dawson Creek in British Columbia, Creston in the East Kootenays, and most of Saskatchewan (except Denare Beach and Creighton). NEW! In 2007 Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. This pattern will be followed by all provinces which observe daylight saving time and each province has amended their legislation to reflect this change. Previously, Canada had observed Daylight Saving Time from the first Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October. This change in Daylight Saving Time will keep Canada's Daylight Saving Time pattern consistent with the United States which enacted into law a broad energy bill that will extend Daylight Saving Time in the same manner. Canada uses six primary time zones. From east to west they are Newfoundland Time Zone, Atlantic Time Zone, Eastern Time, Central Time Zone, Mountain Time Zone, and the Pacific Time Zone. Year DST Begins at 2 a.m. DST Ends at 2 a.m. 2005 April 3 October 30 2006 April 2 October 29 2007 March 11 November 4 2008 March 9 November 2 2009 March 8 November 1 2010 March 14 November 7 Note: Newfoundland and Labrador Daylight Saving Time begins and ends one minute after midnight (12:01 a.m.) local time.
