Canada immigration time from Pakistan
Pakistanis has a lot of concern about canadian immigration time from Pakistan. Normally, for the applicants who applied before 27 Feb 2008, their immigration cases are finalizing in 45 to 60 months. The applicants who applied under the new criteria of immigration with the specific skills in one of the 38 required occupations, their immigration case processing time lies between 12 to 22 months.
But after the visit of Canadian immigration minister to Pakistan, Canada recognized this long waiting time for Pakistanis and decided to reduce the long immigration time. In January 2009, Canadian Visa office in Pakistan issued letters to all future immigrants who applied before febuary 2008. The letter was issued for the consent of applicants whether they are still willing to immigrate or not. This procedure removed the backlog of Canadian Immigration applicants from CHC Islamabad.
From 01 April 2010, all files of Canadian Immigration Applicants from CHC Islamabad has been transferred to CHC London in order to expedite the immigration process and time.

How to get better score in IELTS
How to get better score in IELTS?
IELTS stands for the International English Language Testing System. This is an internationally recognized test which is used to measure English ability in four major areas i.e. listening, reading, speaking, and writing.
There are two different types of IELTS test – IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training, and the reason behind taking the IELTS exam will describe which paper you need to take.
IELTS (Academic):
If you want to attend a university or college in Canada, then you will require taking the IELTS academic. And as every university or college may perhaps vary in IELTS requirements, so it is important to make sure what score you require before beginning studying for IELTS. The minimum band score for all Canadian Universities for IELTS (Academic only) is 6.5 overall. Canadian Universities or Colleges do not accept IELTS (General Training) as it is specifically designed for Immigration or work purposes.

WRITING TASK 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
You and your family are living in rented accommodation in an English speaking country. You are not satisfied with the condition of some of the furniture.
Write a letter to the landlord. In your letter
• introduce yourself
• explain what is wrong with the furniture
• say what action you would like the landlord to take
Write at least 150 words.
You do NOT need to write and addresses.
Begin your letter as follows:
Dear ..........,
This model has been prepared by an examiner as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.
"Dear Mr Smith,
I am your tenant from Flat 3 on Riverside Street. We met each other when I signed the rental agreement in your office.
I have lived here for 6 months now and I am writing to complain about some of the furniture. As you may remember, the dining table is in very poor condition and has uneven legs. It also does not match the dining chairs as these are too low to be comfortable for a table of that height. When I first pointed this out to you, you agreed to provide a brand new dining set. However, you have not done so and I would really like to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
If it is more convenient for you, perhaps you could simply replace the table by finding one of a suitable height for the chairs. This would solve the problems without too much cost, so I hope you agree to this proposed solution.
Looking forward to hearing from you, Yours sincerely,
M.M. Egil

WRITING TASK
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Write about the following topic:
Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your children.
Do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
This model has been prepared by an examiner as an example of a very good answer. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.
"I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the computer every day. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are using the computer for.
However, the main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the ‘hero’ of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centred and insensitive to others.
Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing nonvirtual experiences is an important part of a child's development that cannot be provided by a computer.
In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology and the Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore it is important that children learn at an early age to use the equipment enthusiastically and with confidence as they will need these skills throughout their studies and working lives.
I think the main point is to make sure that young children do not overuse computers. Parents must ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning to live in a virtual world."
