History of Canada !
Canada is world's second largest country occupying the most area of Northern North America. Canada has her land borders with the United States to the south and northwest.
The land of Canada was populated for millennia by a mixture of groups of native people. Commencement from the late 15th century, British and French travel around and later on established there. At the Atlantic coast, France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War.
In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies from side to side amalgamation, Canada came into being as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accumulation of additional provinces and territories and a procedure of growing sovereignty from the United Kingdom.
A confederation including 10 provinces and 3 territories, Canada is a constitutional dominion and a parliamentary democracy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a multicultural and bilingual country, with both French and English as official languages at the national level. Industrially advanced and developed, Canada maintains an expanded economy that is deeply dependent upon its rich natural resources and upon foreign trade predominantly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and multifaceted association. It is a member of the NATO, G8, the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations.
From January 9 to January 18, 2009; Canadian Minister for Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, Jason Kenny visited Pakistan and India. He said in a press conference that Pakistan and Canada, as well as India and Canada are enjoying pleasant relations and share a common of awareness on important international issues of common interest.
The minister said three countries have the technological ability, the resources, the infrastructure and the manpower to bring about a change. There is a want to give material to bilateral economic relations to perform the hopes and objectives of our people for success.
The Canadian Minister, Jason Kenny said that the intention of his visit to Pakistan and India is to discover the opportunity of growth of more close and pleasant relations between the countries for taking skilled and semi-skilled labor, for the growth of construction, agriculture, and industrial sectors in some provinces of Canada.
He further added that India and Pakistan has an enormous potential for labor force and skilled workers which is required in Canada. So Canada will intake about 0.6 million immigrants in the years 2009 and 2010.
On the question of 'long Immigration times' from the different communities of Pakistan and India, he assured them that Canadian High Commissions is working on this in India, Pakistan and Philippines to reduce the immigration processing time from these countries. He added that new staff at Visa offices of Pakistan, India and Philippines has hired to expedite the immigration process and give a relief to citizens of these countries who are fed up from a long waiting time of immigration to Canada.

For instance, most probably Citizenship and Immigration Canada is waiting for information from your side and you by no means received the request. Or maybe the visa officer has a concern about the authority of a document but you were not at all informed.
CAIPS let you to see concerns with your application which you can rapidly deal with by communication with the office managing your immigration application.
If you are called for an interview you should obtain your CAIPS which will likely disclose why the interview was called and which concerns the Canadian visa officer will discuss with you.

Where Should I file my Immigration case?
People who are not living in their native country are often confused about which Canada Immigration Office to apply for.
The regulation is that you may apply in any one of two places i.e. the Canada Immigration Office responsible for your country of residence or your country of citizenship.
But if you have been legally entered to your country of current residence for at least twelve months, you may apply through your country of residence.
This regulation has some big advantages. For instance, if the office in your country of citizenship has long wait times for Canadian immigration, and the situation is opposite in your country of residence then you must apply from your country of residence.
Another good tip is that you don’t need to be lived in your country of residence for twelve months before applying; you only need to have been admitted there for at least twelve months. This means you can apply for Canadian immigration once you arrive in your country of residence with your twelve month work permit.

History of immigration to Canada
After the early period of French and British colonization, four main waves of immigration of non-resident peoples took place over a time of approximately two centuries. The fifth wave is ongoing at this time.
The first major and non-aboriginal immigration to Canada happened over about two centuries with sluggish but progressive French settlement at Acadia and Quebec with slighter numbers of American and European capitalists in addition to British military people.
The successive waves of Canadian Immigration History were of Britain and Irish that were motivated to settle in Canada after the War of 1812, which comprised British army patrons who had served up in the war, by the royal governors of Canada, who were concerned about another American assault and to counter the French-speaking pressure of Quebec, rushed to encourage resolution in backward country areas along newly constructed plank roads within prepared land areas, mostly in Upper Canada. It is existing Ontario.
Within the second immigration wave, Irish immigration to Canada had been growing when the Irish Potato food shortage occurred from 1846 to 1849 resulting in hundreds of thousands more Irish arriving on Canada's coast, although a major portion migrated to the US over the following decades.
These intense waves of immigration coming regularly from continental Europe sharp in 1910�1913 (over 410,000 in 1913) and again in 1957 (285,000) making Canada a multicultural country with considerable non-French or non-English speaking populations.
Since the 1970s, Canada immigration history has changed tremendously because of visible minorities from the developing countries, since limitations on non-white immigrants were altogether removed. imigration levels were increased more by the late 1980s which have been uphold with slight fluctuations since (220,000�275,000 annually). Currently, the majority of immigrants are coming from South Asia and China and this trend is probable to continue.

United Kingdom & The Green Card Lottery
Overview
The Diversity Visa Program (DV program) has granted 55,000 Green Cards annually
since the early 1990's. It has been nicknamed the Green Card Lottery.
Europe and Africa currently have the largest distribution of green card winners for the diversity visa program (also known as the green card lottery).
Requirements to enter include the equivalent of a high school diploma or
two years of work experience that requires training.
The chosen winners are also interviewed before the green cards are distributed.
Eligibility of the United Kingdom for the green card program
Immigrants from the United Kingdom have not been eligible for participating
in the green card lottery in previous years. The reason for their ineligibility
is because the UK has sent over 50,000 immigrants within the last 5 years
to the USA. Having said that, this could change in the upcoming green card
lottery, as the list of countries that are eligible to apply for a green card
changes every year.
It is important to note that the ineligibility of the UK does not extend to
Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland which are eligible for the Green Card Lottery.
In addition, despite being a native of the United Kingdom, if both parents or
a spouse of the individual were born in any of the countries that are eligible
for the Green Card Lottery, the applicant can still submit a valid
DV (Diversity Visa) application.
Green Card Lottery Alternatives
Individuals who are not eligible for the Green Card Lottery can still receive
a Green Card through marriage, relatives, investment, employment, or as a special immigrant.
Special immigrants include refugees and those seeking asylum.
If you are an Armed Forces Member, an informant, a person born to a Foreign Diplomat
in the US, or a victim of criminal activity.
These ways of receiving a green card are unusual for United Kingdom citizens but
are possible & lawful ways of obtaining a permanent residency status in the US.
In certain circumstances some immigrants can file for a green card without having
to leave the US and reside in their native country through the LIFE Act.
A V visa is a temporary green card available to spouses and children of a green card holder.
Relationship Between the United Kingdom and the United States
The United Kingdom and the United States have what Americans and Brits call
a "special relationship" which just means that they have a close relationship.
In WWI the US and the UK fought together and the US entered the European portion
of the conflict in WWII. The two countries were allies during the first Gulf War
and the Cold War. In the US Iraq war the UK was the only world power that
supported the US. This close relationship began after America declared independence
from England. England had controlled colonies in North America until the American
Revolution that ended in 1783. Unfortunately hostilities between the two countries
flared up again in the War of 1812
Trade and economic relations are shared between the United States and the United Kingdom.
United Nations(UN), North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO), World Trade Organization(WTO),
G-8 and many other international organizations were founded by the two countries.
It is approximated that the US supports one million jobs in the UK and vice-versa.
British communities in the United States
Immigrants from the UK tend to not form their own communities.
Perhaps this is because they find it easy to assimilate in the American culture.
In America there are many British citizens who run businesses, television networks,
and social networks.
Many websites are available to help United Kingdom immigrants with questions.
How to apply for a green card?
While the green card lottery is a free government process many prospective
immigrants decide to use the services of green card review and submission services,
which offers many benefits including all-year applications, application review,
photograph review and resizing and automatic submission plan where the green card
application is automatically submitted every year on behalf of the applicant until they win.

in 1849 by Canton Glarus, thus named New Glarus in Wisconsin.

Helvetia, West Virginia, New Switzerland, Georgia, Ruttli, Nebraska and Bernstadt, Kentucky.

Australia & The Green Card Lottery
Fifty thousand green card lottery visas are distributed every year to applicants from 6 regions.
If you are from Australia you are able to get a chance to enter the US via Australia‘s
Diversity Visa Lottery Program quota. The first question that might
come to mind when you think of applying for the green card lottery is
"Am I eligible for the green card lottery program as an Australian?".
After verifying the qualifying norms, if you meet the requirements for the program
you should definitely give it a shot and apply for the program, because the US green card lottery is by far
the easiest and most cost effective way of obtaining permanent residency status for the USA.
The Diversity Visa Lottery selection is random. The number of applicants from Australia versus
the number of visas granted for Australians might differ. While the chance for winning the green card
lottery might be not be statistically high, there are on average 1,000 Australians who win the green card lottery every year.
There are work experience related requirements, education related requirements, place of birth related requirements
and other norms you might have to meet in order to be eligible for the program. Any person whose country of birth
is Australia is eligible to apply for the green card lottery program
(Diversity Visa program), as long as they meet the work / education criteria.
You might have to show some proof that you are a citizen of Australia or a citizen from one
of the qualifying countries as a proof of your nativity to be eligible for the continental quota allotted for your region.
You were born in Australia or in one of the eligible countries.
You might be eligible if your spouse is an Australian or a citizen from
one of the qualifying countries to be eligible by virtue of nativity.
Even if you do not qualify for the country of birth requisites by the above two conditions,
you might be able to apply for the green card lottery if either one of
your parents were born in Australia or in one of the qualifying countries, you might be able
to apply for the program by virtue of nativity of your parent‘s birth.
Since the immigration rates from Australia to the US are considered relatively low in comparison with
other countries, it seems guaranteed that Australian citizens shall remain eligible to take part in the
yearly green card program. (countries that send over 50,000
immigrants per year to the US, are automatically excluded from the yearly lottery as the whole aim of it is to
increase diversity – hence its name – the diversity visa program).
Therefore, if you are interested to apply and try your luck, you should definitely do so, but make sure
that you follow the strict guidelines set by the US department of state for the application process.
It is unfortunate that a high proportion of applicants from all over the world are disqualified as a result
of improper submission of their applications, which can be easily prevented by familiarizing yourself
with the guidelines for the application and the supporting passport photograph.
If you are applying by virtue of occupation, the occupation should be sufficiently at the level permitted
for the green card lottery. Over qualified or under qualified skill levels and experience might not help as well.
Even if you are an Australian, if you do not meet the required eligibility norms for
the application you should not apply. It would be a waste of time applying when you are not eligible,
as the rules are very clear and if you do not meet any of the requirements, you are automatically disqualified.
There are professional companies who can advise you if you have the eligibility to apply for the US green
card lottery for your qualification with respect to the eligibility conditions. It is better you get in touch
with them to ensure you are doing the application process right. They have been doing it for years and
they know whether it is practically right for you to apply. If you are not eligible to apply for the lottery,
their immigration specialists can recommend alternative methods for obtaining a green card based on your personal circumstances.

Even if you are an Australian, if you do not meet the required eligibility norms for
the application you should not apply. It would be a waste of time applying when you are not eligible,
as the rules are very clear and if you do not meet any of the requirements, you are automatically disqualified.
There are professional companies who can advise you if you have the eligibility to apply for the US green
card lottery for your qualification with respect to the eligibility conditions. It is better you get in touch
with them to ensure you are doing the application process right. They have been doing it for years and
they know whether it is practically right for you to apply. If you are not eligible to apply for the lottery,
their immigration specialists can recommend alternative methods for obtaining a green card based on your personal circumstances.
Japan & The Green Card Lottery
The Diversity Visa program is a great opportunity for Japanese to get
an immigration visa from the US Department of State Diversity. This Green Card Lottery program
is extended to 55,000 people from eligible countries, which includes Japan in the continent of Asia.
Hence Japanese can apply for a green card this year,
if they are eligible as per the criteria of requirement and wait for the random selection process to conclude.
What does the Diversity Visa program mean for Japanese?
Through the Diversity Visa program, citizens from Japan and other eligible countries
from around the world can live & work in the United States, primarily because these eligible countries
have sent fewer rates of immigrants to work in USA in the past.
The Green Card being a legal document, allows you to not only live & work permanently in the USA,
but also enjoy permanent residence in the USA with benefits including owning property and studying,
which are available to other US citizens.
History of Japanese Getting and Immigration to the USA
Historically, the Japanese had an agreement with the USA in the late 19th century,
according to which Japanese workers were allowed to immigrate to USA to live & work there.
This was primarily because the Chinese Exclusion Act in USA led to the demand for workers who could replace the Chinese immigrants.
A few decades later the Gentlemen�s Agreement came into force, according to which further immigration from Japan to USA
was stopped. However, it allowed the spouses of Japanese Americans to travel to Japan.
The ban on immigration of Japanese in 1920s almost created two distinct groups of Japanese Americans in the country,
those who immigrated to Japan and those who were born in the USA.
Immigration Statistics for Japanese
With about 1.2 million Japanese Americans, the community is now the 6th largest of all mixed ethnic Asian Americans.
California, Hawaii, Washington and New York are the top 4 places boasting of the largest number of Japanese Americans.
In fact, Japanese roots in California and Hawaii extend well beyond a century when sophisticated techniques of agriculture
were introduced by the Japanese immigrants.
The Diversity Work program winner allocation includes more than 50% Africans and almost 30% from Europe in recent times.
Asia has contributed a mere 15%, with India, Pakistan, China and Japan being the dominant contributors.
Both California and Hawaii boast of 300,000 Japanese Americans with Washington and New York contributing around 50,000
as per the census figures a decade ago.
Japanese students are noticeably present in many Ivy League schools.
Tips to Apply for a Green Card
The statistical breakdown for those registered for the Diversity Work Program in 2011,
by foreign state chargeability includes 298 Japanese although the number of Bangladeshis and Iranians is in thousands.
It is interesting to note that for the Green Card Lottery program,
the list of eligible countries is similar to what it was the previous year, with no countries added or removed.
Those born in Japan but residing in USA and have a valid visa can apply for the Green Card Lottery.
Japanese citizens anywhere in the world can also apply for a green card.

This kind of online results checking facility was first introduced in the DV 2010 program for the first time in the history of the American diversity visa lottery program. According to the U.S State Department people who have participated in the 2012 visa lottery can check ONLY in the online to confirm whether they are selected for further processing or not.
To check your status online, you will have to provide your confirmation number (which was given to you at the time of application submission last year) and your personal information.
If you have missed your confirmation number it won't be re issued or can't be recovered .So do not try to get it again from the KCC. Winners will not get the postal notifications from this year onwards for the American DV lottery. Postal mails, E-mails or Fax or Telephone will not be used to announce the winners. If you get any notification double check them. There is no chance to get the results like these methods.
DV-2012 Official Results.
DV Lottery that was held as DV-2012 and allowed submission of entries in the year 2010 has announced its results officially announced from July 15th 2011. Nearly 14,768,658 qualified entries were submitted from all over the world in the 30 day electronic application form submission period from October 5, 2010, till November 3, 2010. The online DV Lottery application form used to be called as E-DV entry officially. From these entries nearly 100,021 people were selected as winners and their results are available in the online web site. Out of these 100,021 selected winners of DV 2012, only 50,000 people will get their American Immigrant visas if they meet the eligibility.
The DV-2012 will close once the 50,000 visas are issued or will close on 30th September 2012. After this date no one can benefit from their DV-2012 winning. They can try the next coming visa lottery program.
Selected winners will not be issued with the visas directly. But they will have to go for the interview according to their case numbers, must pay their non refundable visa fees, and proof their eligibility to get those visas. Like wise those selected winners in the United States must contact the USCIS office to make adjustment to their status only when their case numbers are current for that month.

now that our readers have been educated on the recent wave of DV lottery scams, we are getting many questions about DV-2013 DV Lottery
WHAT IS IT?
The Diversity Lottery program is an annual lottery run by the U.S. Department of State. The DV Lottery offers up to 55,000 permanent resident visas each year to randomly selected applicants from eligible countries. For the fiscal year 2012, 50,000 DV's were available.
WHEN DOES IT START?
The Lottery is run once a year, usually in October, and qualified applicants are randomly chosen by computer. DV-2013 DV Lottery will probably begin in early October, 2011.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
The annual DV program makes visas available to persons meeting simple, but strict, eligibility requirements. A computer-generated, random lottery drawing chooses selectees for DVs. The visas are distributed among six geographic regions, with a greater number of visas going to regions with lower rates of immigration, and with no visas going to nationals of countries sending more than 50,000 immigrants to the United States over the period of the past five years. Within each region, no single country may receive more than seven percent of the available DVs in any one year.
For DV-2012, natives of the following countries were not eligible to apply because the countries sent a total of more than 50,000 immigrants to the United States in the previous five years: BRAZIL, CANADA, CHINA (mainland-born), COLOMBIA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ECUADOR, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HAITI, INDIA, JAMAICA, MEXICO, PAKISTAN, PERU, PHILIPPINES, POLAND, SOUTH KOREA, UNITED KINGDOM (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and VIETNAM.
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY?
To enter the DV lottery, you must be a native of one of the listed countries. For your reference, we have provided the List Of Countries By Region Whose Natives Qualified for DV-2012. Native of a country whose natives qualify: In most cases, this means the country in which you were born. However, there are two other ways you may be able to qualify. First, if you were born in a country whose natives are ineligible but your spouse was born in a country whose natives are eligible, you can claim your spouse’s country of birth—provided that both you and your spouse are on the selected entry, are issued visas, and enter the United States simultaneously. Second, if you were born in a country whose natives are ineligible, but neither of your parents was born there or resided there at the time of your birth, you may claim nativity in one of your parents’ countries of birth if it is a country whose natives qualify for the DV-2013 program.
The law and regulations require that every diversity visa entrant must have at least:
A high school education or its equivalent; or
Two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation requiring at least two years' training or experience.
To learn more about qualifying occupations, see the Diversity Visa Instructions Frequently Asked Questions and the List of Occupations webpage.
If you cannot meet either of these requirements, you should NOT submit an entry to the DV program.
WHERE CAN I FIND INFORMATION & INSTRUCTIONS?
Information and instructions for the DV-2013 lottery will be available on the Travel.State.Gov website. U.S. Department of State Electronic Diversity Visa Lottery. We will post the link for Diversity Visa DV-2013 Instructions as soon as it is available. For your reference here is the link for DV-2012 DV Lottery
http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/.
MUST I SUBMIT MY OWN ENTRY, OR MAY SOMEONE ACT ON MY BEHALF?
You may prepare and submit your own entry, or have someone submit the entry for you. Regardless of whether an entry is submitted by the individual directly, or assistance is provided by an attorney, friend, relative, etc., only one entry may be submitted in the name of each person, and the entrant remains responsible for ensuring that information in the entry is correct and complete.
ARE THE WEBSITES I FIND ON A GOOGLE SEARCH LEGIT?
While many other non-governmental websites (e.g., using the suffixes ".com," ".org" or ".net") provide legitimate and useful immigration and visa related information and services, we strongly recommend going directly to the U.S. Department of State. Forms and information are available FREE of charge. We will post the link for Diversity Visa DV-2013 Instructions as soon as it is available.

DV 2012 Results
DV-2012 results are already available in the internet from 15th of July 2011. All you have to do is to fill your confirmation code and the required fields. Then you will ask to type the given Alphanumerical and your results will be displayed in the American Government's official web site.
Earlier announced DV 2012 results had a big fault in the Dv Lottery history. On 1st of may 2011 the DV-2012 result was displayed to people who had checked them online and the web site suddenly closed on 6th of may 2011 saying the web site "We are experiencing technical troubles at this time.
Mean while nearly 22,000 people got their winning notification through the web site and started to proceed with their winning. Then suddenly on 14th May 2011 started to display all the results that were shown in these days are void. All the people who were selected also must consider themselves as not lucky and has to check their results later.
Out of these 22,000 failed winners, some of them went to courts and filed a suite to give back their winnings, but the case was dismissed.
DV 2012 American visa lottery program had released the results from 15th July 2011 after a new name selection from the last year submitted entries. Those 22,000 winners who had seen their DV 2012 results must ignore those announcements and must re-check their results again from July 15th this year. Take note you don't have to pay any money till you are invited for the interview after October 2011.
DV 2012 results will not be sent by postal mail as usual to those winners who are selected by the computer random draw selection at the KCC. Instead entire applicant's results will be available only in the online official web site from the month of July 2011 till the end of June 2012.
For the dv2012 visa lottery program nearly 14,768,000 people had submitted their application forms online during the submission period in 2010.Nearly 100,021 winners were selected and will have the chance to receive one of the available 50,000 U.S Immigrant visas through the USA dv 2012 visa lottery. Postal mail, email, phone or Fax will not be used to announce the winners by the KCC located in the USA. KCC is maintaining the facility to announce the dv lottery winners through the online check facility.
As usual Africa region got 50,000 of the selected winner's notifications where the winners come from Nigeria 6002, Ghana 5,832, Ethiopia 4,902 and Egypt 4,664.
The entire DV 2012 visa lottery applicants can check their status online from May 2011.For this that they will need their current confirmation number and their personal details. The dv 2012 applicants must keep their confirmation number in a safe place as it will not be reissued again and with out the confirmation number there is no other means to check your online results.
There will be no dv lottery winners name list will be available in the web sites. Like wise the American Embassies and the American Consular offices too can't provide the winners name list of the green card lottery.
Important notice:
Those winners who don't have the required education/work experience are advised, not to proceed with the winning as they may loose the
visa and the visa fee of US$ 819. Never send money overseas through any banks or companies to obtain American visas.
The winners will pay the required visa fees only to their local US Embassy on the day of their interview. Follow the instructions given by the
US consular office web site as how to pay the DV Lottery visa fees to them.

Earlier announced DV 2012 results had a big fault in the Dv Lottery history. On 1st of may 2011 the DV-2012 result was displayed to people who had checked them online and the web site suddenly closed on 6th of may 2011 saying the web site "We are experiencing technical troubles at this time.
Mean while nearly 22,000 people got their winning notification through the web site and started to proceed with their winning. Then suddenly on 14th May 2011 started to display all the results that were shown in these days are void. All the people who were selected also must consider themselves as not lucky and has to check their results later.
Out of these 22,000 failed winners, some of them went to courts and filed a suite to give back their winnings, but the case was dismissed.
DV 2012 American visa lottery program had released the results from 15th July 2011 after a new name selection from the last year submitted entries. Those 22,000 winners who had seen their DV 2012 results must ignore those announcements and must re-check their results again from July 15th this year. Take note you don't have to pay any money till you are invited for the interview after October 2011.
DV 2012 results will not be sent by postal mail as usual to those winners who are selected by the computer random draw selection at the KCC. Instead entire applicant's results will be available only in the online official web site from the month of July 2011 till the end of June 2012.
For the dv2012 visa lottery program nearly 14,768,000 people had submitted their application forms online during the submission period in 2010.Nearly 100,021 winners were selected and will have the chance to receive one of the available 50,000 U.S Immigrant visas through the USA dv 2012 visa lottery. Postal mail, email, phone or Fax will not be used to announce the winners by the KCC located in the USA. KCC is maintaining the facility to announce the dv lottery winners through the online check facility.
As usual Africa region got 50,000 of the selected winner's notifications where the winners come from Nigeria 6002, Ghana 5,832, Ethiopia 4,902 and Egypt 4,664.
The entire DV 2012 visa lottery applicants can check their status online from May 2011.For this that they will need their current confirmation number and their personal details. The dv 2012 applicants must keep their confirmation number in a safe place as it will not be reissued again and with out the confirmation number there is no other means to check your online results.
There will be no dv lottery winners name list will be available in the web sites. Like wise the American Embassies and the American Consular offices too can't provide the winners name list of the green card lottery.
Important notice:
Those winners who don't have the required education/work experience are advised, not to proceed with the winning as they may loose the
visa and the visa fee of US$ 819. Never send money overseas through any banks or companies to obtain American visas.
The winners will pay the required visa fees only to their local US Embassy on the day of their interview. Follow the instructions given by the
US consular office web site as how to pay the DV Lottery visa fees to them.
