Wolfe\, & Sanchit Mittal\, uses a witness-centred approach to disrupting racism.

The series is designed to be relevant to the audience and encourages participants to shift from being frozen or silent bystanders to becoming active witnesses. In a safe and supported online forum\, participants will practice how they can respond in order to disrupt racism and build safer and more inclusive communities. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nTRAINING SCHEDULE & DELIVERY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis training will be delivered via four live Zoom meetings.

If it is important to you and your organization to truly understand the history of racism\, its implications today\, and what to do and say to combat racism\, I highly recommend this training.”- Tanya Cowie\, Vancouver Community College“The Anti-Racism Response Training is engaging\, eye-opening\, and educational. The facilitators' approach of presenting factual information paired with sharing personal stories helped to capture their diverse audience. Reflection exercises not only encouraged participants to examine themselves and racism\, but they also prompted open discussions among participants. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone wanting to start taking steps against racism.”- Carolyn Moi\, Instructor\, Vancouver Community College“As a white\, settler woman with significant privilege\, I knew that I had a lot to learn about racism in Canada and what I could do about it. Participating in this well-designed and delivered training exceeded my expectations over and over! Not only did I learn so much about racism in Canada\, past and present\, I also learned from the presenters and participants about how these experiences have impacted them so significantly. In the training we learned and practiced effective skills to respond to witnessing or experiencing racist encounters. I will no longer be a bystander\, wishing I had the words or confidence to act when I see racism in any form. I can now stand-up and speak-out to address the issue at the time or when it is safe to do so. We must all make the decision and take action to stop racism and the Anti-Racism Response Training program provides the practical skills and confidence to do so!”- Mary Catherine Williams\, Executive Director\, Volunteer Campbell River[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nFACILITATORS\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row class=”facilitator-row”][vc_column column_padding=”custom-padding” column_custompadding=”0px 50px 20px 0px !important” width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”custom-padding” column_custompadding=”0px 50px 20px 0px !important” width=”3/4″][vc_column_text] \nThanh Tazumi\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A.R.T.

SUMMARY:Tout sur les plans d'études : Ce qu'ils sont\, comment déterminer les documents justificatifs pertinents et comment IRCC les évalue dans le cadre d'une demande initiale de permis d'études.
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nDate limite d’inscription : 18 avril\nCette formation est ouverte à tous. Détenteurs.trices de permis (CRIC\, CRIEE) du CCIC : Approuvé par le CCIC pour 3 heures de formation professionnelle continue (FPC). \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nDescription du webinaire\nLe nombre d’étudiant.e.s internationaux.ales désireux.ses d’acquérir une éducation canadienne a considérablement augmenté au cours des dernières années. Simultanément à cette croissance\, le profil des personnes est devenu de plus en plus diversifié\, tant au niveau des origines que de l’âge ou du profil socio-économique. Face à cette diversité\, IRCC exige de plus en plus des demandeurs.euses que ceux-ci incluent un plan d’études ainsi que des documents justificatifs pertinents dans le cadre leur demande initiale de permis d’études. Mais qu’est-ce que IRCC entend par plan d’études ? Quelles informations doivent y être fournies ? Comment doit-il être présenté ? Quelle est la longueur idéale ? Quelles pièces justificatives sont pertinentes et lesquelles ne le sont pas ? Qui lit réellement les plans d’études de nos étudiant.e.s ? Combien de pièces justificatives faut-il inclure pour prouver que la légitimité de nos intentions sans alourdir le décideur ? Tous les professionnel.le.s qui travaillent auprès des étudiant.e.s internationaux.ales ont été confronté.e.s à ces questions. Ce webinaire a pour but d’y répondre et de vous aider à approfondir votre compréhension des exigences d’IRCC concernant le plan d’études. \nDans un premier temps\, nous verrons quelles informations IRCC fournit sur cette exigence et pour quel pays il est requis. Nous verrons également ce qui se passe une fois qu’une demande a été soumise ; quels outils (Chinook\, IA\, AA\, etc.) IRCC a mis en place pour aider ses décideurs.euses à évaluer ces demandes (qui sont devenues à la fois plus complexes et plus nombreuses). Nous examinerons également la jurisprudence récente sur le sujet et la manière dont les décisions de la Cour fédérale peuvent nous guider dans nos actions. \nDans un deuxième temps\, nous mettrons en pratique nos nouvelles connaissances du système et des exigences d’IRCC et nous élaborerons une stratégie et des outils pour aider nos étudiant.e.s à rédiger des plans d’études convaincants et à choisir les documents pertinents à joindre à leur demande. Par le biais d’études de cas et d’activités de groupe\, nous examinerons différents scénarios (étudiant.e.s adultes\, double intention\, refus multiples\, changements de domaine\, etc.) et travaillerons sur le meilleur angle et le meilleur équilibre pour chaque cas. \nObjectifs d’apprentissage\n\nAmener les participant.e.s à mieux conseiller leurs étudiant.e.s sur les informations à inclure dans le plan d’études et sur la manière de le présenter.\nPermettre aux participant.e.s de conseiller avec plus d’assurance leurs étudiant.e.s sur les documents justificatifs pertinents à ajouter à la demande de permis d’études.\nPermettre aux participant.e.s de comprendre comment IRCC évalue les plans d’étude\, tant au niveau technique qu’au niveau légal et réglementaire.\nPréparer les participant.e.s pour la rédaction d’une stratégie institutionnelle sur la façon dont leur institution pourrait accompagner leurs étudiant.e.s lors des demandes initiales de permis d’études.\n\nDiffusion\nCette formation sera diffusée via une rencontre Zoom le 20 avril.

SUMMARY:All About Study Plans: What they are\, how to provide supporting documents\, and what to include within the context of an initial study permit application
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text] \nThis webinar series has been approved by CICC for 4 hours of CPD.   \nParticipants must attend both sessions to claim the 4 hours of CPD. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nSession Overview\nAs the number of students interested in gaining a Canadian education has grown and as their profile has become more and more diversified\, IRCC has required that more and more applicants include a Study plan as well as the relevant supporting documents as parts of their initial study permit application. But what does IRCC means by Study Plan? What information should be provided in it? How should it be presented? What is the ideal length? Which supporting documents are relevant and which ones are not? How many supporting documents should be included to prove your bona fides without burdening the decision-maker? Who actually reads our students’ study plans? Every professional who works with international students has come across these questions. This two parts webinar aims to answer them and to help you deepen your understanding of IRCC’s requirements regarding the Study Plan and what you can do to help your students meet them. \nPart I:  \nIn the first part\, we will look at the information IRCC provides on this specific requirement and for which country is it required. We will also look at what happens once an application has been submitted; which tools (Chinook\, AI\, etc.) has IRCC put in place to assist its decision-makers in assessing these applications (that have grown both more complex and more numerous).  We will also review the recent Jurisprudence on the subject and how what the Federal Court has said can help us assist our students.  We will conclude the first part by going over the remedies available for students who have faced single or multiple refusals. \nNOTE: Participants will be able to view the recording of this session if they are unable to join the live webinar or if they purchase the series after March 23. \nPart II: \nIn the second part\, we will put our new knowledge of IRCC system and requirements to use and devise strategies and tools to best help our students write a convincing study plan and choose which supporting documents should be added to their application. Through case studies and group activities\, we will look at different scenarios (mature students\, ESL\, Dual intent\, multiple refusals\, Student Direct Stream\, etc.) and work on the best angle and balance for each case.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nLearning Objectives\n\nAdvise students on what information should be included in their study plan and how it should be presented.\nAdvise students on the appropriate supporting documents to include.\nUnderstand how IRCC is evaluating the Study Plan and the supporting documents.\nDetermine when after a refusal it is appropriate to refer students to legal counsel to seek remedy.\nPrepare an institutional strategy and the relevant material on how to advise their incoming students on the initial study permit application.\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nWebinar Agenda\n  \nPart 1 – Wednesday\,  March 23\, 2022[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]1:00 – 1:05 \n1:05 – 1:35 \n1:35 – 1:55 \n1:55 – 2:15 \n2:15 – 2:30 \n2:30 – 2:50 \n2:50 – 3:00[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Welcome and introduction (CBIE) \nTopic 1 –  What is a Study Plan?

SUMMARY:Webinar Recording - Gaps in full-time enrollment: Advising on implications\, supporting applications\, and managing expectations
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThis webinar has been submitted to ICCRC  for 1.5 hours of CPD. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Session Overview \nInternational students may lose their full-time enrollment status during their studies for a multitude of reasons – and with recent policy updates from IRCC\, students are increasingly finding that decisions made early in their academic careers can have lasting consequences when it comes to their immigration status and options. As Advisors\, it is critical to help our students understand the potential immigration impacts of these situations (both immediate and long-term)\, and to support them in making informed decisions as well as addressing potential deficiencies in applications to IRCC. This webinar will explore common scenarios and discuss best practices to help students navigate challenges before and after taking a gap in full-time studies. \n  \nLearning Objectives \nUpon completion of this webinar\, participants should be able to: \n\nUnderstand and explain the potential impacts of studying part time or taking time off from studies\, with respect to: study permit conditions\, on-/off-campus work eligibility\, and post-graduation work permit eligibility\nSupport students in compiling supporting documents to accompany their application for a study permit extension or a post-graduation work permit\, in scenarios where gaps in full-time enrollment exist\nArticulate options in cases where a student’s application is refused due to enrollment history\n\n  \n  \nPresenters: [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_section” bg_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column column_padding=”custom-padding” column_custompadding=”0px 50px 20px 0px !important” width=”1/4″][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”custom-padding” column_custompadding=”0px 50px 20px 0px !important” width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Jean Lomas[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]International Student Advisor\, Immigration Specialist (RCIC)[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Simon Fraser University [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nI am text block.
