Diversity Lottery application deadline December 1
The Congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is inviting applications. The deadline for receipt is December 1.
The program makes available 50,000 permanent resident visas annually, drawn from random selection among all entries to persons who meet strict eligibility requirements from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Winners of the lottery have a chance to apply for an immigrant visa, which can be used to enter the U. S. Winners are selected randomly, and there is no fee to enter the lottery.
The immigration department cautioned applicants there have been instances of fraudulent websites posing as official U.S.Government sites. Some companies posing as the U.S. Government have sought money in order to "complete" lottery entry forms. There is no charge to download and complete the Electronic Diversity Visa Entry Form.

Canada will speed up permanent residency for some foreigners
Ottawa says it will speed up permanent resident applications for certain classes of foreign workers and international students who have Canadian work experience. In an announcement on August 12, Diane Finley, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, said the ‘Canadian Experience Class,' would have a "new avenue" for immigration. Unlike other existing programs, this new avenue would make Canadian experience a key selection factor when immigrating to Canada.
The ‘Canadian Experience Class' will allow certain temporary foreign workers and certain foreign student graduates with managerial, professional, or technical or trade work experience to apply to become permanent residents, and eventually Canadian citizens.
"This new proposed avenue for immigration would also go further to spread the benefits of immigration into smaller centers across Canada," Finley said making the announcement at the University of Waterloo surrounded by international students.
