Skills Immigration: This stream, primarily using a points-based invitation system, is for skilled and semi-skilled workers in high-demand occupations in BC. Candidates may not need prior work experience for some categories; however, Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled category applicants require B.C. work experience. Candidates may have work experience from abroad; and recent international graduates of a Canadian post-secondary institution may not need any work experience, depending on the job being offered.

BC PNP Tech: Those in specific tech occupations may qualify for invitation at a lower points threshold and receive priority assignment for processing..

Express Entry: International Student and Skilled Worker candidates can select either the Express Entry or Standard version of the BC PNP streams. Express Entry streams offer shorter timelines for federal permanent residence application processing.

Priority Occupations: Since 2022, the BC PNP has also provided occupation specific invitations to apply at lower point thresholds based on specific occupations in education, healthcare and veterinary care.

Health Authority and International Post-Graduate Streams - Qualifying candidates, such as those with a job offer from a public health authority or those who've graduated from selected programs at BC post-secondary institutions, can apply directly to the program without registering, obtaining a score and being invited to apply.

Entrepreneur Immigration: This stream, using a points-based invitation system, is for experienced entrepreneurs who wish to actively manage a business in BC. Applicants must create a minimum number of jobs, have the required personal net worth, and make a minimum level of eligible investment.

Entrepreneur Immigration – Regional Pilot: an option for entrepreneurs who wish to start a new business in participating regional communities across BC.

Support Randa's Family

Current progress: €24,305/€35,000

Randa has tried again and again to help her family get the funds they need. The first goal was 25k, then 28k, and then 30k. Each time Randa did not reach her goal and her family was denied the help they needed.

What do these funds mean for the family? It means helping Randa's 4 relatives who were able to evacuate cover living expenses, rent, and pay off the debts from a failed visa application. It would also provide Randa with the means to help her 2 brothers who are still trapped in Sudan evacuate. They have been separated from the rest of their family since July and now Randa hasn't heard from them. She doesn't know if her brothers are safe or not.

No more time can be wasted in completing this campaign. Randa's brothers need to be evacuated to safety and her family needs to pay off their debts.

Randa will not give up until she gets her family the help they need, and neither can we. Donate what you can, even if it is only $5. Small donations make an impact! And don't forget to share her campaign with others so it can attract more supporters.

You can match @/marigoldcanaries' donation here. (She contributed €10, but she's expressed that people can give any amount!)

Your proof of donation can also earn you an entry in @/magnus-rhymes-with-swagness' book raffle. (Details here)

December 26, 1847: Jews. Write an article against this race that poisons everything by sticking its nose into everything without ever mixing with any other people. Demand its expulsion from France with the exception of those individuals married to French women. Abolish synagogues and not admit them to any employment. Demand its expulsion Finally, pursue the abolition of this religion. It’s not without cause that the Christians called them deicides. The Jew is the enemy of humankind. They must be sent back to Asia or be exterminated. H. Heine, A. Weill, and others are nothing but secret spies ; Rothschild, Crémieux, Marx, Fould, wicked, bilious, envious, bitter, etc. etc. beings who hate us. The Jew must disappear by steel or by fusion or by expulsion. Tolerate the elderly who no longer have children. Work to be done – What the peoples of the Middle Ages hated instinctively I hate upon reflection and irrevocably. The hatred of the Jew like the hatred of the English should be our first article of political faith. Moreover, the abolition of Judaism will come with the abolition of other religions. Begin by not allocating funds to the clergy and leaving this to religious offerings. – And then, a short while later, abolish the religion.

Translator’s note: Though some twentieth century writers have maintained that Proudhon was not an anti-Semite, we find in his notebooks proof of the contrary. In this selection from his notebooks Proudhon’s anti-Semitism goes far beyond that of Marx at approximately the same time, calling not for the end of what Jews represent, i.e., capitalism, but of the Jews as a people. Proudhon’s privately expressed thoughts were elaborated on in the same year as this entry by his follower Alphonse Toussenel in his “Les Juifs, Rois de l'Epoque,” The Jews, Kings of the Era. After reading the passage translated here it can come as no surprise that the founder of the royalist group Action Française, the Jew-hater Charles Maurras, drew inspiration from Proudhon.

Crimson Days: A Brief Characteristic

My piece for the Crimson Days event held by @d2artevents! 💘 // Read on Ao3

From the writings of Eido, Scribe of House Light:

Since our arrival to the Last City one and a half solar cycles ago, I have taken notice of several Human holidays never prior mentioned in Eliksni records. They are mainly small celebrations, rarely tied to naturally-occurring astronomical phenomena or a particular anniversary, and are not commonly observable outside large civilian settlements – which may explain the lack of data. Based on an extensive interview conducted with Lord Shaxx, my own observations, and analysis of contemporary and historical material graciously provided to me by prof. Meren Hale of the Academy, I have compiled an entry on the topic of one such holiday, the Crimson Days, in hopes it may shed some light on the area not yet extensively covered by anthropologists.

NAME: “Crimson Days” take their name after deep purple-red hue, which, according to Lord Shaxx, is the colour of Human blood and most vitals. The sentiment behind that corresponds with the ancient belief, evident in many Terran idioms and phrases (see: “Language and Culture Before the Golden Age”, crpt. Tyra Karn et al.), that the heart is the emotional management unit in the Human body. Curiously, I came across no proof of the notion of naming a holiday after the colour of internal organs being perceived as repulsive.

TIMING: The holiday is cyclical in nature, occurring in the latter half of every winter-season, but appears to be entirely customary and not tied to any natural phenomena. Asked about the significance behind its placement in the calendar year, Lord Shaxx spoke of “warming up frozen hearts” and expressed what (for the lack of visual verification) I presumed to be confusion when I wished for further clarification. From the information I was able to gather, the holiday appears to be of pre-Golden Age provenience, though I could not determine which specific customs date back to the ancient times and which are the result of the impact the Great Machine’s arrival and the Collapse have had on culture.

AESTHETIC AND SYMBOLISM: According to Lorrd Shaxx, the Crimson Days are meant to be a celebration of love and profound emotional bonds. As such, the symbolic coding centers around the colour red (see above), heart and flower imagery, with some variants including arrows, birds, and ribbons (see: ‘Crimson Bond’, Briar-Athewry, “Symbol in Cultural Studies). While I have not observed any municipally-funded decorations as is in the case of the Dawning or the Festival of the Lost, individual people often decorate houses and storefronts in accordance with the holiday’s aesthetic.

RITUALS AND CUSTOMS: Unlike some holidays of post-Collapse origin (see: Solstice of Heroes), Crimson Days celebrations are prevalent in all social classes across the City, civilian and Guardian alike. They are rarely collective, instead involving a small group — usually two individuals — and are meant to celebrate the relationship between them. Common customs include exchanging gifts, most notably plants and confections, writing letters, and involving in “dating” (see: Human Mating Rituals). Group activities are typically targeted at single persons, serving the purpose of finding a mating partner. Guardian-only traditions feature a type of ritual combat, where two pairs are pitted against each other in an activity known as “Crimson Doubles”; according to Lord Shaxx, this exercise is meant to test the partners’ cooperation skills and mutual trust.

Petekey at the museum in 2023

I submitted this as a final paper for one of my uni classes. I got an A and everyone on the bus clapped

Anonymous, “Untitled” (Transcription of Pete Wentz’s Livejournal Entry from June 28, 2005), permanent marker on bathroom wall, ca. 2010. Chicago Leather Museum and Archives.

My first visit to the Chicago Leather Museum and Archives in February 2020 was nothing short of a religious experience. In the midst of swelling discourse amongst chronically online teenagers and young adults with regards to whether or not kink should be “allowed at pride” (though, unbeknownst to us, the argument was about to become utterly moot and stay that way for a period of two years), going to the museum was reprieve, a breath of fresh air that materialized the historical enmeshment of queerness and kink: kink has been part of queer relationality and organization in the United States and beyond since at least the Second World War, and arguably long before that. However, through a combination of the massive loss of life due to AIDS and movements towards assimilation with straight society, much of that history (despite efforts towards preservation) has been lost. The people who collected our belongings after our deaths, not wanting us to be remembered as “perverse,” discarded the kinky trash; those of us who wanted to distance themselves from the other, degenerate queers insisted that this wasn’t a “normal” part of gay life, and that their sexual practices were “just like anyone else’s”—vanilla, sanitized, monogamous, and, more likely than not, infrequent.

Admittedly, the emotional impact of my first visit can only be attributed in very small part to the validation I felt seeing the efforts made at preserving this “taboo” facet of queer life: the museum was the backdrop of learning I had received a grant from my university to fund an installation piece I had proposed that would question the legal system’s, academia’s, and even lay society’s insistence upon empirical, physical proof, when so much of the queer and disabled experience are either swept under the rug, intentionally obscured for the sake of survival, or not recorded in the first place. For one of the first times in my life, I felt understood and appreciated as a person who had something to offer. I was being recognized by my department for my work, I was going to transform what had been a lifetime of suffering into something of greater value, I was surrounded by evidence of a life I never thought I would be able to embrace, and was going home to my partner to tell them the great news.

This all blew up in my face. Not even a month later.

The COVID-19 pandemic sent me back to a world where expressions, let alone enactments, of queerness, particularly transness, would have immediate material consequences. And I’d managed, in the beginning, but only because that was how I’d already lived my entire life up until that point: queerness was something for my online diary, to be performed only in the virtual spaces of tumblr.com and Archive of Our Own, and maybe, maybe in a playthrough of The Sims every so often. But as I watched the people around me continue to grow past these strategies of survival, even in explicit times of crisis, I found myself sinking further into them. In my childhood home, I grew isolated from the LGBT “community.” My way of being was now a sign of immaturity, no longer needed now that ~SoCiEtY~ had grown so much more “accepting.” There was no reason to continue burrowing in the world of fannish space and slash fanfiction when it was okay to hold hands with your same-sex partner in public, no value of creating an imagined reality wherein queerness was possible in any context when gayness and trans being were now supposedly allowed in every context. I covertly took part in a virtual study, partially because I needed the money but moreso because I needed someone to hear me, on the psychological, social, and financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the LGBT community, but even in those focus groups, I felt there was a profound disinterest in what I had to say.

When I was reunited with my partner later in the year, I clung to them the same way I had clung to anyone who was even remotely tolerating of my queerness, as I had done in high school. Confused as to why I had become so dependent, and deeming it unacceptable, they cast me off and joined Tinder (but, ironically, not Grindr) within a number of days.

In the wake of this loss, I retreated even further into the safe space of fandom. The strategies of relationality I’d learned living most of my life as a closeted kid on the Internet were no longer desirable in the “grown-up” world, but in fan spaces, these attachment patterns were treated as core features of queerness: clinginess was taken as evidence of true love, and the more obsessive a character (or real person) was, the more likely it was that their feelings towards their object of affection would be read as romantic or sexual. I fell into a rabbit hole of pairings that helped me understand and express my own obsessive tendencies, including the alleged affair between Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance bassists Pete Wentz and Mikey Way, or, as it is better known, “Petekey.”

Without getting bogged down on details, the core evidence for Petekey’s “canonicity” comes from a series of posts Pete Wentz made to his Livejournal account while on Warped Tour in 2005, in which he spent a lot of time (and, on numerous documented occasions, traded clothes) with Mikey Way, including overnight visits made by each band member to the other’s tour bus. Many of these entries either describe the amount of time spent with Way or suddenly finding new reasons to live or appreciate life due to being in love, the most salient being the following:

“Amazing new mexico sunset. I’m hanging on a bridge with my friend mikey way from my chem. Its all orange and pink above us. We went to another waterpark again. I love high fives again. Totally back in love. Saw the most amazing movie… I think its called spirited away. Watch it.”

-Pete Wentz, June 28, 2005

Shortly after the end of the summer they spent together, these themes stopped appearing in Pete Wentz’s Livejournal posts, but near-direct quotes pulled from these posts began appearing in songs written by Wentz about heartbreak even 10 years after the end of that summer. And, as the cherry on top, while introducing one of these songs at the Reading Festival in 2016, at which Way was in attendance, Wentz proclaimed (to no one in particular), “I’m sorry. Every single song is about you.”

The appeal of Petekey isn’t in the notion of emo boys making out or speculating about the sexualities of real people, but in recognizing and appreciating through their interactions the value of one’s own covert performances of queerness—especially as the noxious, caucasious notion that one must proclaim their love for their partner loudly and in public to prove they are not “ashamed” of them runs increasingly rampant. And what can only be interpreted as Wentz’s perseveration on the loss of this relationship mirrors the grief that underscores the entire (admittedly small) body work I’ve created since experiencing my own loss.

Needless to say—a lot of things had happened between my two visits to the Leather Museum and Archives. Still, when I returned to the museum, I expected my experience there would be much of the same as it was the first time I had visited (save for winning the grant). However, I was quickly informed there was a key part of the museum I had yet to see: the bathroom.

Anonymous, “Untitled” (Leone Abbacchio, Nude, Tied to a Tree), permanent marker on bathroom wall, ca. 2020. Chicago Leather Museum and Archives.

Though not an “official” part of the Museum’s collection, the bathroom at the Leather Museum itself is an archive of contemporary queer modes of being. The walls are nearly covered in graffiti, some expressions of sex-positivity, some decolonial and abolitionist political slogans, lots of cartoon penises, and shorthand descriptions of appearance and preferences accompanied by contact info for the sake of finding hookups. We had spoken at length, both in class and in the Archives itself, about how coded contact books, zines, and bathroom cruising had become “things of the past” with the advent of the Internet, implying we had somehow moved past all of these things, but here was the Leather Museum bathroom—referencing the Internet, sure—very much following the same analog traditions.

As I’ve reintegrated back into on-campus life following my sabbatical spent back in time in the most homophobic little corner of Los Angeles, I’ve become keenly aware the ways in which my experiences differ from those of the other queer urbanites of my generation. That my own methods of using online, “cringey” fan spaces to survive have themselves become “things of the past” makes me sometimes try to pretend they aren’t still major parts of my life, distancing myself from them in hopes I can be accepted by those who fundamentally do not understand me, and who may not want to understand me.

I’ve always understood the importance of the Leather Museum as a testament to the importance of resisting the urge to assimilate, of embracing the parts of yourself that have helped you find community, survive, and thrive in a world that seeks to eliminate you—even if others may see them as “dirty”—but recognizing my own, more day-to-day experiences in the Leather Museum and Archives’ collections wouldn’t have occurred if I hadn’t spent 20 minutes worth of my most recent visit next to the toilet. I had already found myself totally enraptured in the graffiti, in the contemporary, DIY expressions of self-love, community care, and desire for intimacy that would now be permanently stored in the Museum’s bathroom walls, but the Petekey graffiti, the transcription of the Livejournal entry that I’ve always seen the most of myself in (but would never, up until now, publicly admit to doing), made me cry the way my first visit to the Museum should have.

Sometimes I wonder if the more things change, the more they stay the same. We claim that things have improved for the LGBT community and other marginalized groups on the whole, but drag performances are being banned nationwide, transness is becoming criminalized, young girls must go through genital inspections before being permitted to participate in school sports, and our government has allowed a deadly illness that disproportionately affects the working class and other marginalized groups to run rampant for the sake of “protecting the economy” while not batting an eye when these populations die or become further disabled. And while insisting that one must distance themself from the fannish spaces they inhabited in their youth to find reprieve from homophobia and/or transphobia because it’s embarrassing and we’ve since “moved on” pales in comparison to the discarding of important personal belongings following a loved one’s death due to AIDS, at the core of both practices is the misguided belief that denying one’s right to embrace that which has been crucial to their lives or acknowledge it as a part of them simply because it is “weird” will somehow improve material conditions for the community as a whole.

I’d always seen myself and the strategies of resistance I (theoretically) believe in, in the leather and denim vests preserved in the Archive; I’ve always understood that leather and kink spaces have been key sites of organization and community for queer people; I’ve always understood that trying to paint these spaces as no longer necessary for queer survival does more harm than good. Yet, when it comes to my own generation’s survival tactics, like many others, I too tried to distance myself from them and act (at least, in public) like they were not an inherent part of me. Maybe this is why the “kink at pride” discourse became so prevalent amongst people my age: we’ve convinced ourselves based on our very limited experiences that we aren’t treated any differently from anyone else, thus we no longer need to rely on or even appreciate anything “too queer.” But the care the Archives and its staff put into maintaining the collection of vests, patches, dildos, and other paraphernalia is for more than the preservation of leather culture: my own, personal archive of things I have done, places I have been, and feelings I have felt deserve the same care and maintenance—especially when others tell me to stop doing so and cast them away into the sewage.

Even if my own survival tactics have now become “passé,” and the ephemera associated with them are now themselves beginning to be considered “historical artifacts” by people my own age, they are worth preserving because they tell the story of how I have managed to live for as long as I have, and how many others have done the same. The notion that we “outgrow” these strategies, that being “stuck in the past” always inherently holds us back insists upon a very unidirectional—and, dare I say, straight—conceptualization of time. Change can be good, but denying the skin we shed as ever having been part of ourselves isn’t necessarily a sign of growth.

Maybe we don’t need to constantly “overcome,” to reject our past in the name of becoming “better” than we were before. Maybe there is value in embracing the things we did, no matter how embarrassing or obscene, to get to the place we are now. And maybe continuing to practice them can get us through the next crises we will inevitably have to face.

What is the requirement for family members visiting Canada on a visitor's visa? Do they need an invitation letter?

Title: Exploring Requirements for Family Members Visiting Canada on a Visitor's Visa

Introduction: Planning a visit to Canada with your family? It's important to be aware of the requirements for family members visiting on a visitor's visa. In this blog post, we will walk you through the essential requirements, including valid documentation, proof of funds, medical exams (if applicable), and the role of an invitation letter. Let's dive in!

Valid Passport and Visitor Visa: The first step in the process is ensuring that each family member has a valid passport. Check the expiry date and make sure it covers the duration of the intended stay. Additionally, obtaining a valid visitor visa is crucial, as it serves as official authorization for entry into Canada.

Proof of Sufficient Funds: To support themselves during their stay, family members must provide proof of sufficient funds. This requirement aims to ensure that visitors can cover their expenses without relying on public funds. Prepare financial documents, such as bank statements, to demonstrate the availability of necessary funds.

Medical Examination: Depending on the visitor's home country, a medical examination may be required. To determine if this applies to your situation, consult the Canadian government's official website or contact the relevant authorities. If necessary, undergo the medical examination as per the provided guidelines.

The Invitation Letter: Optional but Beneficial: While not mandatory, having an invitation letter can greatly facilitate the visa application process. The letter should be written by a sponsor residing in Canada, typically a family member or close relative. It confirms the sponsor's invitation and their commitment to financially support the visitor during their stay. Including the purpose of the visit and the intended duration can provide further context.

When crafting the invitation letter, make sure to include the following details:

Clearly state the purpose of the visit, whether it's for a family reunion, vacation, or other reasons.

Express responsibility for the visitor's financial support during their stay in Canada.

Provide the sponsor's contact information, including phone number and email address, to ensure effective communication with immigration officials if needed.

Conclusion: Planning a family visit to Canada requires careful attention to the necessary requirements. From valid passports and visitor visas to proof of funds and potential medical exams, ensuring compliance with these guidelines is essential. While an invitation letter is not obligatory, it can significantly enhance your visa application. Remember to provide all required documentation, and feel free to consult the Canadian government's official resources for detailed information tailored to your specific situation. Enjoy your time with your family in beautiful Canada!

More information may be available following a meeting of the Federation of Ministers Responsible for Immigration (FMRI) on May 10.

Manitoba’s PNP

The province introduced the program in  1998, Manitoba became the first province in Canada to start a program called the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). This program was created to bring in new people who might usually move to big cities like Toronto or Vancouver. Manitoba wanted to attract them to come and live in their province instead.

The idea of the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) worked really well in Manitoba. It helped share the good things that come from immigration across the province. After seeing this success, all other provinces and territories in Canada, except for Quebec & Nunavut, decided to do the same thing. They wanted to bring in more people to help their communities grow too.

Data also shows that 10,000 people in Manitoba transitioned from worker status to permanent residents in 2023.

In January & March this year, the province issued 1,560 Expressions of Interest to Skilled Worker candidates leading to 1,478 approvals.

IRCC data shows that in 2022, 20% of all permanent resident admissions came through the PNP. Additionally, the Immigration Levels Plan  (Canada’s admissions targets for permanent residents each year) plans to welcome 110,000 new permanent residents by the end of 2024, and 120,000 per year in both 2025 and 2026.

Changes to temporary resident levels

This is unique in Canada’s immigration space & aligns with a previously announced priority for the year and in years to come. On March 21st this year, Minister Miller announced an intention to pursue more domestic draws to help transition temporary residents to permanent residents.

In another way, IRCC plans to work with newcomers already in Canada to help them become permanent residents, rather than increasing the previously uncapped number of temporary residents who arrive in Canada each year. In 2023 Canada had a temporary resident population exceeding 2.5 million people, or 6.2% of the total population.

In 2023, 157,000 people transitioned from temporary residents to permanent residents.

How to Apply for Canada PR or Immigration from India

Canada has consistently ranked among the top destinations for immigrants, offering a high quality of life, economic opportunities, and cultural diversity. If you’re an Indian citizen looking to move to Canada, the Permanent Residency (PR) or immigration process might seem daunting at first. However, with the right information and guidance, you can navigate through the process smoothly. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to apply for Canada PR or immigration from India.

Choose the Right Pathway

Before you begin, it’s crucial to determine which immigration pathway best suits your profile and aspirations. Canada offers several pathways for immigration, including the Express Entry System, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), and family sponsorship. Research each pathway thoroughly to understand the eligibility criteria, requirements, and processing times.

Meet the Eligibility Criteria

Each immigration pathway has specific eligibility criteria that applicants must meet. Common factors considered include age, education, work experience, language proficiency (English or French), and adaptability. The most common pathway, Express Entry, uses the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) to rank candidates based on these factors.

Language Proficiency

Language proficiency is a significant factor in your application. You’ll need to take a language test approved by the Canadian government, such as IELTS or CELPIP (English) or TEF (French). Achieving higher language scores can boost your CRS score and enhance your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR.

Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)

If your education was obtained outside Canada, you’ll need to get an ECA to verify the equivalence of your educational qualifications with Canadian standards. This step is crucial for Express Entry and certain provincial programs.

Create an Express Entry Profile

For Express Entry, create an online profile detailing your skills, work experience, education, language proficiency, and other relevant information. Your profile will be assigned a CRS score, and you’ll enter the Express Entry pool.

Improve Your CRS Score

A higher CRS score increases your chances of receiving an ITA. Consider ways to improve your score, such as enhancing language skills, gaining additional education, obtaining a job offer, or securing a provincial nomination.

Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)

Candidates with the highest CRS scores are issued ITAs in regular draws. Once you receive an ITA, you’ll have a limited time (usually 60 days) to submit a complete PR application.

Submit Your PR Application

Complete your Canada PR application online, providing accurate and complete information. Include all required documents, such as police clearances, medical exams, proof of funds, and more. Pay the application fee and submit your application before the deadline.

Wait for Processing

PR application processing times vary depending on the pathway and the volume of applications. During this period, ensure you respond promptly to any requests for additional information from the immigration authorities.

Final Steps

Once your PR application is approved, you’ll receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). Plan your move to Canada, ensuring you meet any travel and quarantine requirements. Upon arrival, you’ll need to show your COPR to the immigration officer at the port of entry to receive your PR status.

Conclusion

Applying for Canada PR or immigration from India is a systematic process that requires careful planning, preparation, and attention to detail. By understanding the various pathways, meeting eligibility criteria, enhancing your CRS score, and submitting a complete application, you can increase your chances of making Canada your new home. Remember that seeking professional advice or assistance from immigration consultants or lawyers can provide valuable insights and guidance throughout the application journey.
