EMCN Experience....P-II

Hello everyone,

I wrote earlier about my experience at the EMCN till halfway, today I will be expressing my views as we are on the verge of finishing this initial part of the ABP.

I learnt a lot of things that I was supposed to learn in this short span of three months but my most valued learning experience would be the one that I had the oppertunity to meet a lot of people from different countries. I am talking about my fellow students. Let me introduce each one of them.

Ramona:
Shes originally from Sri Lanka, a neighbouring country at back home. I learned a lot from her as she was one the most dedicated student of all the group. I liked her commitment & seriousness towards the cause, her attention to the detail and most of all her mischivious nature.

Adrianna:
Hails from Romania, I like the way she takes the challange and then does justice to that cause. she is going to make good professional as she has all the qualities that are needed.

Parvinder:
From India, I found Mr. Parvinder very energatic and responsible person, gives an impression of being a very naive person but you better watch out. I hope that he be able to achieve whatever he came here for.

Anil:
Also from India, A very experienced vetran in his field, I must admire his willingness to achieve something in this new culture despite all the odds, came to Canada for a different purpose but found himself in the thick of things.

Godfrey:
Originally from Congo, the only official bi-lingual in the class, very good natured person. his dedication towards achieving the goal brought him to Alberta, I hope he succeeds.

Ali:
Fellow Pakistani, always willing to learn, great enthuisism and committment. I have a lot of respect for him, may he be successful (Aamin).

Faith:
One of the three from the Chineese contingent, most vibrant personality, very energatic and enthusiastic. learnt a lot of chineese vocabulary from her in ope to use it some day..

Nina:
Another Chineese girl, always smiling. I would say the most hardworking of us all as she is taking two course at the same time. I hope she does well in both of `em.

Shony:
Third member of the Chinees Contingent. I found her very eager to learn, very jubilent personality. I hope she achieves her target.

Elena:
Belongs to Ukrain originally, very curious in nature and doesnt leave anything unexplained wherever necessary. I like her committment towards the task at hand.

Yinka:
Nigerian originally, very quiet in nature but full of talent, good observant and puts her quietness into a loud & vibrant work.

Anatoly:
Hails from Ukrain, have a very charming personality, always smiling. I found him a hardworking and strong person who persue his goals with a lot of passion.

Aygun:
A very soft spoken person from the republic of Azerbijan, Very calm in nature, never panics in stressed situations. I like her attitude towards life.

Bhagawati:
Belongs to Nepal, I like her approach towards this course, her committment and willingness to learn will take her far in her professional life.

Ihab:
From the sacred land of Palestine, Very enthusiastic and talented person. I like the way he loves his children. May Allah help him reach his objectives in life (Aamin).

Fredelyin:
One of the girls from Phillipines, Maybe small in stature but certainly has a huge personality, very vibrant and full of ideas.

Josepheen:
From Phillipines, joined us in the later part of the semester but all the more tallented person, very serious bout the task at hand, tries to give 100 % every time.

I learnt from all of you above and really enjoyed the time otherwise it would have been a pretty dull time.I hope all the best in near future for every one.Thank you all.

The Canada experience part I

Its really difficult to get setteled in an other country where almost everything is different than what you have been practicing. The cultural shock alone is enough to make you think that why did I move here??

I moved from Pakistan to settle and begin a new life in Canada (one of the most advanced countries on the face of the earth). I didnt knew at the time that it would be so difficult to get started but i learend along the way that nothing comes easy..The most difficult bit was the weather, it was freezing cold in the winters and we have never experinced the kind of cold in my whole life, o` boy!

To be contd.....

Canada's health system

Canada's health system is based on universal healthcare system which doesnt cover you 100 % but maybe 75 %. Countries like Australia & Japan also follows the same system.

there are a few things that in my view can enhance the practicalty of the system. which are as follows,

1) If Canadian govt. can hire more experienced Doctors from the immigrants. I have seen a lot of doctors doing a menial job just because they are required to retake the professional exams.

2) If the Canadian govt. can setup extra centres for taking care of the Emergency scenarios then it could definitely cut on the waiting time that is not less than an agony for the already sick people.

3) If the Canadian govt. can import all the prescription drugs (which is really very expensive) form countries like China, India & Pakistan as they could get them in much cheaper rates can eventually benifit the patients.

These were a few areas that I thought could further improve the healthcare system of Canada.I would certainly like to know your comments on this topic.thanks

my city Lahore..

I really miss my city that is known as the heart of Pakistan "LAHORE".well it would be rather difficult to explain in words but still i ll try to explain..

Lahore is one of the oldest cities in the sub-continent had always been the center of attraction, due to its strategic location on a vital trade route linking South Asia and Central Asia, Lahore has been home to a succession of kingdoms and dynasties throughout its long history.

Lahore, city in northeastern Pakistan, on the River Ravi, capital of Punjab Province. It is the principal commercial, banking, and transportation center of the province. Although little industry is located in the city, Lahore serves as a distribution center for the heavily industrialized surrounding area. An educational and cultural center, the city is the site of the University of the Punjab, the oldest university in Pakistan; and the University of Engineering and Technology.

Lahore is very famous for its huge variety of spicy and delicious foods that I miss the most. It is also known as the food capital of Pakistan. Lahore is often regarded as the City of open hearted people who are very friendly and great sense of humor.

There is a lake that runs right through the middle of the city dividing the whole city in two parts..Lahore is more rich in green environment in the whole country. its a beautiful city, there is saying about lahore which I am going to translate,

he is not yet born, who has not seen lahore...

My todate experience at EMCN

hi everyone

Its been a month since I joined the EMCN for the ABP, during this short experience I ve find out that the program which serves as a pre-requsite to the NAIT course has been a lot of help in some areas but the best part of it is the oppertunity of Public Speaking. I was always shy to speak in Public and couldnt find much of an oppertunity to practice this skill. I hope by the virtue of this program i could overcome my fear of public speaking. ialso wish all of my fellow students all the best.
