Canada Reaches Work Permit Cap for H-1B Visa Holders in Under 48 Hours - SHRM

Image
​Canadian companies will tap into a larger pool of talented tech candidates in the coming months, after H-1B visa holders in the U.S. briefly had the opportunity to apply for an open work permit in Canada. This initiative by the Canadian government, which opened the morning of July 16, allowed 10,000 applicants to work for any company anywhere in Canada for three years, said Rakhmad Sobirov, an attorney with Sobirovs Law Firm in Toronto. "The overall tech ecosystem in Canada will become richer and more vibrant with the influx of new talent," Sobirov said. The Canadian government received the maximum 10,000 applications by midnight on July 17, less than 48 hours after the initiative's launch. The H-1B specialty occupations visa program had to close within days because of the demand, noted Emily Lukaweski, a Toronto-based attorney with Novate Legal and Goodlawyer. This program will eventually benefit Canadian employers in the tech space, as they can onboar...

27 Stylish Summer Clothing Items From Amazon That Are Secretly ... - BuzzFeed

Image
Promising review: "Summer clothing has always been a struggle for me. More so now since moving to a place where summer seems to last half the year and reach over 100 degrees before midday. T-shirts are either too boxy, too clingy, or too long. Summer dresses are often too short for comfort on a windy day and sleeveless and I don't want my arms bare every day. This dress checks all the boxes for a functional, EASY summer essential . The fabric is breathable, the buttons don't gape, even as a nursing mother (nursing friendly!), the drawstring is functional but not fussy, and the sleeves are hemmed, not elastic which makes for a comfortable, non-constricting fit. It's a plain dress on its own, but can be styled down with white sneakers or sandals or up with accessories and strappy heels. I've purchased in navy, confetti, French blue stripe, and pink, and honestly I could wear them every day. I might even double up on some of these. I'd say it runs a little big, ...

Bianca Jagger's Best Style Moments, From '70s Suits to Studio 54 - W Magazine

Image
Before Bianca Jagger became one of the '70s foremost socialites and an actress of her own accord, she was Blanca Pérez-Mora Macías, a girl from Managua, Nicaragua. Later, as the wife of Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger and a friend to Andy Warhol, Halston, and Liza Minelli, Bianca became synonymous with the New York scene and, thus, '70s style. A frequent face at Studio 54, Jagger's sophisticated yet ultra-glamorous style came to life in the club, as did her show-stopping antics—in 1977, she rode into the club on horseback. The socialite and humanitarian never met a tailored piece of clothing she didn't like—her style favored double-breasted blazers, fur-trimmed coats, and wide-legged pants. Over her five decades in the spotlight, she's been a muse to some of fashion and art's most formidable names—Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, Warhol—all the while establishing a style signature to herself. From her famed YSL bridal suit to many Grecian-esque gowns, take a loo...
