Podcasts about CRS

Anonymität ist heute ein immer rarer werdendes Gut. Aber wusstest du, dass es aktuell 88 Länder gibt, die nicht am internationalen Datenaustausch (CRS) teilnehmen? Wiederum aber, denn nur wenige Optionen sind wirklich praktikabel. Ich verrate dir meine Top 2 im gewohnten Podcast von „Faszination Freiheit“.

The Community Relations Service was created by the Civil Rights Act to smooth out race relations during desegregation, but like every government agency, it quickly took on a life of its own. The shadowy organization has an incredible level of secrecy and pushes woke agendas, including the normalization of trans kids and the planting of mosques in all Christian towns. Worst of all, the CRS is known to compel grieving families who are the victims of minority crime to deliver prepared statements downplaying the violence of their attackers. Academic Agent joins me to discuss.  Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, host Mark Holthe and co-host Alicia Backman-Beharry unpack one of the most overlooked but impactful aspects of Express Entry: language testing. As one of the few areas where applicants can directly influence their CRS score, the language test often becomes the make-or-break factor in receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA). Mark and Alicia take a deep dive into why language tests matter more than ever, how to choose the right test, and what pitfalls to avoid when entering your results into your Express Entry profile. They also examine the crucial role French proficiency now plays in Express Entry scoring, especially in the context of category-based draws and the federal government's push for Francophone immigration. Whether you're building your Express Entry profile or trying to increase your CRS score, this episode offers a detailed, practical guide to getting it right—before you risk a refusal or misrepresentation allegation. Key Topics Discussed The Power of Language Tests in Express Entry Why language test scores are one of the most controllable and impactful factors in your CRS score. How they affect eligibility under CEC, FSW, and category-based draws. Examples of missed opportunities due to expired or invalid test results. Approved Tests and Common Pitfalls A breakdown of approved English and French tests: CELPIP, IELTS (General), PTE Core, TEF, and TCF. Key differences between test formats and how they affect your performance. Why using the wrong version (e.g., IELTS Academic) can invalidate your score. Test Validity and Expiry Rules How long your test results are valid (and what date counts). What happens if your results expire between your ITA and eAPR. When to retake the test to avoid losing points—or your application. CRS Boosting Strategies The significance of CLB 7 and CLB 9: minimum thresholds vs. competitive scoring. The points advantage of adding French as a second language (up to 74 extra points). How dual-language applicants can outperform others in a tight draw environment. Data Entry and Misrepresentation Risks How to correctly input test codes, registration numbers, and scores in your profile. The hidden dangers of typing errors and mismatched documentation. What to do if your test expires mid-application. Retesting and Test Selection Strategy Why retaking a test can make a meaningful difference. Choosing between CELPIP, IELTS, and PTE based on format, availability, and your strengths. How to leverage test prep and targeted coaching to improve scores. Key Takeaways Language tests are one of the best ways to increase your CRS score quickly and legally. Accuracy matters: a small data entry error can cost you your ITA—or worse. CLB 9 opens the door to significant bonus points through skill transferability. French proficiency is now a game-changer under category-based draws. Retesting and preparation are strategic tools, not just last-ditch efforts. Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe: "If there's one part of your Express Entry profile that you can control—and improve—it's your language test score." Alicia Backman-Beharry: "People miss out on invitations every week because of expired scores or invalid test versions. Don't let that be you."

Since firing head coach Lorne Donaldson at the end of April, things haven't gotten any better for the Chicago Stars. In fact, they may haven only gotten worse. After a 0-0 draw in New Jersey, the Stars have lost their last three in a row and are adrift at the bottom of the NWSL table. Will things get better any time soon? Off the field, general manager Richard Feusz definitely said some stuff, Mallory Swanson is pregnant, and the Stars are going to play a game at Northwestern's ramshackle soccer-turned football lakefront stadium. It's a lot to get through, most of it not good, and Alex is once again joined by Lesley Ryder of Gal Pal Sports to go over it all. Oh, and did we mention Alyssa Naeher's hurt now?

Episode Summary In this essential episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, Mark Holthe and Alicia Backman-Beharry return with another instalment in the Express Entry “Getting it Right” series—this time focusing on physicians and healthcare professionals. While doctors may excel in their field, navigating Canadian immigration law is a whole different beast. Mark and Alicia explore the unique challenges medical professionals face in Express Entry applications—from the pitfalls of choosing the wrong ECA organization, to confusion around Canadian spouses, unpaid internships, and self-employed work experience. They also dig into the April 2023 policy change that allows self-employed physicians to finally claim Canadian work experience under CEC—if done correctly.

Congress holds the power of the purse. The United States Government is the largest business in the world, but to conduct business - and national security - Congress has to approve the funds and the money. Representative Jake Ellzey is now a 3-term Congressman representing Texas's 6th District. He's a Naval Academy graduate, a helicopter and fighter pilot, and a member of the House Appropriations Committee, where his decisions determine what the government funds and what it doesn't. He's also the co-chair of the bipartisan military Veterans alliance, the For Country Caucus. With the American government changing at lightning pace, Fran Racioppi asked the Congressman how the Appropriations Committee is prioritizing funding, what that means for national defense, rooting out fraud, waste and abuse; and if there's ever a way for America to balance the budget and stop overspending. Representative Ellzey also shares why we need to clearly define America's next battlefield, funding military readiness and innovation to combat both nation-state adversaries and terror groups, and the critical role he sees our Special Operations Forces playing in the grey war the United States is now in. Plus he shares his leadership lessons from the cockpit and the deck of the USS Ronald Reagan to the halls of Congress.Watch, listen or read our conversation from Congressman Ellzey's office.

If you've ever wondered what the view from the International Space Station might look like in real-time, this is your episode. Or if you just want to know more about who's up there and what's going on at the ISS on a particular day, this is it. Liam Kennedy, the one and only Space TV Director, is with us. Liam has been working to bring content and video from the ISS down to earth for over a decade, and it's all come together just this year! Liam invented ISS Above, a Raspberry Pi-driven system that highlights key information about the space station in real-time. Join us for this special look at the view from on high! Headlines: NASA is cutting $420 million in contracts, as confirmed by NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens. Boeing Starliner's next crewed launch was delayed to late 2025 / early 2026 due to ongoing helium leaks and thruster issues. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo mission (CRS-22) was canceled after the spacecraft was damaged during shipping; it will be rescheduled to CRS-23 in the fall. Historic FRAM 2 mission launching March 31 - first human spaceflight over Earth's poles, financed by Maltese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang. The Blue Origin launch date with Katy Perry, the first all-female mission since Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight, is set for April 14. A partial solar eclipse will be visible over northern US and Canada on March 29. Main Topic - Interview with Liam Kennedy Liam Kennedy's space journey began at age 6, watching the Apollo 11 moon landing, leading to becoming president of Orange County Astronomers and developing ways for the public to experience the Overview Effect. ISS Above is a Raspberry Pi device created in 2013 that tracks the ISS and lights up when it passes overhead, and is now in 5,000 locations worldwide. Kennedy partnered with SEN, founded by Charles Black, to create high-quality 4K cameras for the ISS after NASA's HDEV camera system stopped transmitting in 2019. SEN provides free live streaming of Earth from space via YouTube and SEN.com, generating revenue through advertising and clip licensing. The Space TV camera system includes six cameras on the Columbus module of the ISS, showcasing docking ports, Earth views, and the horizon. Space TV offers dramatically higher quality than NASA's existing cameras and captured stunning 4K footage of Boeing Starliner's undocking and Crew Dragon flights. SEN plans to expand with more cameras and locations, including potential deployment on future commercial space stations and lunar missions. Kennedy discusses the "Overview Effect" - how seeing Earth from space creates a transformative perspective that inspires action on Earth. The ISS Above Experience will be featured at the Space Symposium to celebrate the 25th anniversary of continuous human presence on the ISS.

With refusals on the rise, Mark and Alicia walk you through the common mistakes applicants make when submitting reference letters and employment documents—and how to avoid them. They dive deep into the essential elements of a strong reference letter, including what must be included, what officers look for, and how to handle situations where you can't get the perfect letter. Whether you're applying under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW), or navigating category-based draws, this episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about avoiding rejection and maximizing CRS points.

As you have probably heard in the news over the past month or so, the Trump administration has frozen foreign aid programs and essentially dismantled USAID, which is the federal government's overseas humanitarian relief agency. These decisions have had an enormous impact on the work of both faith-based and secular nonprofit organizations doing humanitarian work, including Catholic ones. Our guest today, Bill O'Keefe, is one of the top executives at Catholic Relief Services, which is the official overseas humanitarian agency of the American Catholic community. Since their founding over 80 years ago, CRS has grown to serve communities in poverty in more 100 countries around the world. Bill has served at CRS for 38 years, and today he is the agency's Executive Vice President for Mission, Mobilization and Advocacy. In addition to advocating on in Washington, DC, for robust U.S. foreign aid funding, Bill mobilizes CRS' supporters across the country in a shared mission to support the world's most vulnerable people. There is probably no single person in the country who knows as much as Bill does about how the gutting of the US government's foreign aid programs will affect the US Church's ability to help people across the globe. Host Mike Jordan Laskey found it so informative and helpful to talk to Bill. But it was also incredibly upsetting. People will die because of these decisions. The US Catholic Church's immense humanitarian network is being hollowed out. It's hard to know what we US Catholics can do in response. Bill hasn't given up hope, though, and he and his team are working hard to figure out how to keep doing their essential, life-saving work around the world. He also shared some practical ways we can all pitch in to help support the mission.

We wanna hear from you! Send us a message here :) We're at CRS 25' with Lucas Hoge & Darryl Worley! Find out more about each artist below! With equal ease and finesse, No. 1 Billboard-charting artist Lucas Hoge can craft a song, cast a line, or call in a turkey in front of a film crew - all while holding an audience's attention on stage when performing. As a warm, engaging television host on hit Sportsman Channel, Heartland Network, and American Country Network show Hoge Wild, Hoge finds himself in over 155 million households annually, taking viewers across the globe as he travels to places like New Zealand, Bolivia, South Africa, and unchartered territory in North America. With a guitar in one hand and a bow in the other, Hoge treks the world to amplify his passion for the outdoors and change the narrative around conservation with each weekly Hoge Wild episode. Season 5 began airing in June 2024 and, in the first four months, has already seen over 10 million minutes viewed. Stay connected with Lucas here. The rich, reedy tones and all-American, blue-collar themes in his #1 hits “I Miss My Friend,” “Awful, Beautiful Life” and “Have You Forgotten?” are reminders of the down-to-Earth, Haggard-like Darryl Worley you always knew. The island vibes and blue-eyed soul in new songs “It's Good To Be Me,” “Lay It On Me” and “Lonely Alone” suggest there's another, almost-funky, version of Worley that's been kept under wraps. The alternate sides are both on display in Second Wind: Latest and Greatest, a project that mixes the traditional-country history he established in Nashville with the ragged soul that's deep in the bones of Muscle Shoals, a musical Alabama hotbed where Worley got his start. The area hosted hit sessions for Aretha Franklin, Bob Seger, Wilson Pickett and The Rolling Stones, and the sweaty swagger of the region's recording studios was a perfect fit for Worley as he recorded an album that re-establishes him in country culture.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, host Mark Holthe and co-host Igor Kyryliuk dive into the latest category-based Express Entry draws and the major changes announced by IRCC. With some occupations removed, new categories introduced, and controversial priorities in focus, Mark and Igor break down what's changed, who benefits, and who is left scrambling for options. With the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allocations slashed, IT occupations removed from STEM draws, and French language candidates dominating Express Entry invitations, it's more important than ever to understand where you stand and what your best strategy is moving forward. Key Topics Discussed Breaking Down the Category-Based Draws: What's Changed? The removal of key occupations, including software engineers and truck drivers. New additions: Education occupations and… insurance agents in STEM? The government's shifting immigration priorities—is this about labor shortages or politics? Who Wins, Who Loses? Winners: Francophones, healthcare workers, and some skilled trades. Losers: IT professionals, transport workers, and general skilled workers without category-based eligibility. The huge gap in the job market—are these changes actually solving Canada's labor shortages? French Language Dominance in Express Entry The disproportionate number of draws for French speakers—why is this happening? 74 extra CRS points for French proficiency—is it fair compared to LMIA-based job offers? How this impacts non-French-speaking candidates and Express Entry cut-off scores. Strategic Advice: What You Can Do Next How to pivot if your occupation was removed from the draw list. Exploring alternative programs—should you switch to PNPs, study permits, or job offers? Why leaving Canada could actually be your best path to PR in the future. The importance of tracking Express Entry trends and adapting quickly. Key Takeaways ✅ Express Entry priorities have changed—adapt or risk losing your chance at PR.✅ STEM draws are no longer a safe bet—most IT occupations have been removed.✅ French language remains the biggest Express Entry advantage—74 bonus CRS points.✅ Healthcare and trades still have strong demand, but some workers are left out.✅ Strategic planning is critical—book a consult to explore your best path forward. Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe:"How did insurance agents and brokers make it into the STEM category while software engineers got removed? Somebody, please explain this to me!" Igor Kyryliuk:"If you think Express Entry is stable and predictable, think again. IRCC can change the game at any time, and you need to be prepared."

Episode Summary In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, host Mark Holthe and co-host Alicia Backman-Beharry continue the Time's Up series with an in-depth look at the Certificate of Qualification (COQ) and how it affects Express Entry points. Many applicants mistakenly assume they qualify for the 50 additional CRS points—only to have their applications refused. Mark and Alicia break down the eligibility criteria for claiming these points, common mistakes applicants make, and the step-by-step process for obtaining a legitimate COQ from a Canadian province or territory. With IRCC's tightening immigration policies and the elimination of job offer points on the horizon, getting this right has never been more important. Key Topics Discussed Understanding the Certificate of Qualification What is a Certificate of Qualification, and who needs one? The critical difference between a provincial professional license and a trade certificate of qualification. Why doctors, nurses, and other regulated professionals do NOT qualify for these points. Express Entry Eligibility: Do You Really Get Those 50 Points? The specific trades that qualify for COQ points under Express Entry. Language requirements: Why a CLB 7 or higher is essential for claiming the full 50 points. How miscalculating your CRS score can lead to refusals and lost opportunities. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Clicking “Yes” to having a COQ when you don't—why this leads to refusals. Assuming a professional certification (e.g., nursing, accounting, law) qualifies for trade points. Failing to obtain the COQ before submitting an Express Entry profile. How to Properly Obtain a Certificate of Qualification The step-by-step process of getting a COQ in British Columbia as a cook (example case study). Differences in provincial regulations—where and how to apply. The role of Red Seal certification in cross-provincial trade recognition. The Future of Express Entry: What's Changing? The upcoming removal of job offer points and its impact on Express Entry. Why trade workers may have an advantage in future Express Entry draws. The shift towards category-based Express Entry draws—what trade workers need to know. Key Takeaways Not all certifications count as a Certificate of Qualification—only specific skilled trades qualify for points. You must obtain the COQ before claiming points—falsely claiming it can lead to a refused application. Language scores matter! If your CLB is below 7, you won't get the full 50 points. With job offer points disappearing, trade workers may benefit from Express Entry changes—but only if they have a proper COQ. Consult an immigration professional before applying—small errors can cost you your chance at PR. Quotes from the Episode Mark Holthe: "There's nothing worse than filing your Express Entry application, expecting 50 points for a Certificate of Qualification, and then getting a refusal because you never actually qualified." Alicia Backman-Beharry:"Professions and skilled trades are NOT the same thing. If you're a doctor or a nurse, you do NOT qualify for these 50 points—it's as simple as that."

According to an exclusive report from the New York Post yesterday, Staffers at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank raking in six-figure, tax-free salaries at both global bodies qualify for free memberships at the Bretton Woods Recreation Center in Maryland, according to documents obtained by The Post.   Stiff initiation fees at the IMF-owned course — which range from $12,000 to $20,000 — are automatically waived for all employees on the payroll of the two institutions, according to the documents, which are not in the public domain. Now, how are those membership fees effectively subsidized? Well, the U.S. taxpayer has “financial commitments” to the World Bank and the IMF numbering into the hundreds of billions, and American tax dollars (and debt) remain the top “contributor” to both institutions. Here's this, from a Congressional Research Service report released in May of this year:   And, from a CRS report released in 2022 on the IMF's financial structure: The United States contributes $117 billion to the IMF quota (17.46%).
