Why Go to Canada？
Huge, scenic and sparsely populated, Canada was rated by the United Nations Human Development Index as the best country to live in. The land of new hopes and opportunities attracts people worldwide—visitors, migrants and overseas students—and offers its permanent residents the sweetest benefit package, who in turn contribute significantly to its economic growth, and bring customs and traditions, rituals and culture to the forefront of current government.
Two types of immigrants
Very few people really understand or know anything about the process of immigration application. First of all a potential immigrant needs to know something about the rules and regulations. The Canadian Government has designed a point system to assess potential independent immigrants. Emphasis is placed on education, practical training, experience and the likelihood of successful settlement in Canada. This means that people with a bachelor degree of some kind and advanced technical or other skills that are in demand in Canada, are more likely to be accepted. The Government also adds weight to an application if the individual is fluent in Canada's official languages, English and French. Therefore someone with a good command of either English or French will have a better chance. Another way to immigrate to Canada is via the immigrant investor program.
This provides an opportunity for experienced business persons to immigrate to Canada after making a substantial investment in a provincial government-administered venture capital fund.
Apply for immigration directly to the government
If you think you fulfill all the criteria you can easily apply for immigration by yourself. The Canadian Government clearly states: "Any one can apply without the help of a third party". As often happens in these situations, unscrupulous (不讲道德的) agents can take advantage of people who think that the only way they can immigrate is by paying huge mounts of money. People who want to become immigrants should carefully investigate the reputation and qualifications of third parties who offer their services for a fee. So why bother to use an migration agent if application is easy？
Hire professionals to apply on your behalf
Actually there are many good reasons why so many intending migrants use such services. What the least competent and reliable professionals do is simply fill out the forms and send them to the Canadian Embassy with the required fees and documents! Some individuals (who can be referred to as "unscrupulous agents") may fail to send in the correct documents, delay the clients' application delivery, talk an unqualified candidate into buying their services despite the high possibility that the visa application will be refused or even suggest their clients supply fraudulent (诈骗的) documents that are often discovered by the Canadian Embassy. Conversely, a highly qualified and reliable professional service justifies its costs for the comprehensive services it provides. A professional and reliable immigration firm should provide these five services for its clients:
Assessing chances of success
1. An intending immigrant must first be well aware of his chances of success. A substantial amount of necessary payment and the potential impact on an applicant's life (i.e. thinking they will be accepted) can be avoided. A highly experienced immigration professional is capable of assessing a client's chances of success with an extremely high degree of certainty. In the case of a most unfavorable application, he discourages the client's application.
Highlighting qualifications
2. Depending on an effective interpretation of the selection rules as well as accumulated experiences, an experienced immigration professional highlights the applicant's qualities and helps persuade visa officials th

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right？ Is there power in positive thinking？
Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."
Those with low self-esteem didn't feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.

Buying a Home
To Buy or to Rent
According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) , 37 percent of Canadian renters could afford to buy a home. But when it comes to buying or tenting, age, lifestyle, whether or not you're a parent, even where you live, all play a role. This was among, findings of a late 1990s study by the CMHC, which wanted to know why, in Quebec, so many 25-to 34-year-olds--the so-called Generation X--were tenants rather than homeowners. At the time, 56 percent of this age group outside Quebec owned their homes, a figure that dropped to 34 percent in Montreal. CMHC's Kim-Anh Lam explained: "When we asked about their priorities, Gen Xers placed housing fifth--after recreational activities, retirement planning, consolidating their jobs, and repaying their debt." However, home ownership became a priority once a couple became serious, or the first child arrived.
Most experts agree that renting makes sense if you're highly mobile and don't want to be burdened with the slow pace of the buying and selling process, or if you can't or don't want to take on the long-term financial commitments of a mortgage and home maintenance. Renting may be necessary in order to save for the 10 to 20 percent down payment needed to buy a home.
Whether you buy or rent your home, you should use no more than 35 percent of your income on housing, including rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance, and repair. Most banks recommend that no more than 30 percent of your income should support a mortgage, and no more than 40 percent should go to a mortgage and other debt.
Offer to Purchase
Home buyers sometimes get stung because they or their representatives fail to include important conditions in the offer to Purchase , or, as it is sometimes called, the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Your offer can be conditional-it is good only on condition that you obtain mortgage financing, or the house passes a home inspection or a termite check. In Homebuying Step by Step: a consumer guide and workbook, the CMHC recommends your offer also include:
Basic details such as your legal name, the name of the vendor, and the legal and civic address of the property.
The purchase price and all financial details included in this should be the amount of the deposit and any interest to be paid on it. You may also want to spell out the specific amount of penalty should you wish to back out of the deal.
The chattel or items in the home which are included in the purchase price. This may include window coverings, appliances, a satellite dish, carpeting, bookcases, or a backyard swing.
Enumerate all of them, and stipulate that everything in the house--all appliances and systems--be in working order at the time of closing of title.
Date of closing and taking possession--usually 30 to 60 days from the date of the agreement, but it can be longer.
Request for a current land survey of the property.
Date and time at which the offer becomes null and void. A 48-hour limit on the seller's response time to your offer is reasonable.
For Buyers only
A typical real estate transaction often begins when prospective buyers drive by a house that looks appealing, take down the name of the real estate agent listed on the sign in the yard, and call that person for an appointment. The only problem, That agent--usually the listing agent--works for a commission paid by the seller, and the agent's legal responsibility is to get the best price possible for the current homeowners, not the prospective buyers.
Common sense calls for buyers to be honest about their priorities, preferences, and price range. But since the agent's commission comes from the vendor, and since this money is a percentage of the sale price, it is entirely possible that any information the buyers reveal to the agent--
