Canadian Dollar: On a Decline

The US dollar gained in value and reached a six-month high vis-à-vis euro on concerns that the policy makers in Europe are failing to tackle the debt crisis in the European region.

US currencyIn recent times, Canadian dollar saw the biggest weekly decline in a month against the US dollar. The Canadian dollar has almost reached parity as the country saw increasing job loss as well as the risk appetite declined out of the worries on European debt crisis. The Canadian dollar declined for a consecutive second week as the rate of interest has been kept unchanged by the Bank of Canada. The US dollar has been on a rising spree against all its 16 mostly traded peers. This has been so as the investors looked for safe haven amidst the concern that Greece might default. This resulted into Canadian bonds to climb. Reports showed that industrial production slowed down and retail sales in US declined. US is the biggest trading partner of Canada.

It seems that currently the sole driver of the Canadian dollar is risk appetite. When the risk appetite is weak, the Canadian dollar tends to underperform. However, this depends on the euro zone crisis and upon the speculation regarding Greece.

Canadian dollar

The US dollar gained in value and reached a six-month high vis-à-vis euro on concerns that the policy makers in Europe are failing to tackle the debt crisis in the European region. The crisis in the Euro area is viewed as the biggest threat to the global economy ever since the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Stocks declined and the decline was visible both in case of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and MSCI World Index. The trend has been that people have been piling into US dollar assets and all other assets have not been considered. It has been seen that yields on Canadian government debt declined to record lows as the securities climbed. During that week, 30 year bond yield declined by 15 basis point on that week and the 10 year note yield declined by 19 basis point. According to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch index, Canadian government bonds fetched a return of 7.8%.

In Canada, payrolls declined by a net 5500 jobs in the month of August. While the full time job increased by 25700, part time jobs declined by 31200. The rate of unemployment in the country increased to 7.3%, from 7.2% in July. The Bank of Canada has kept its target rate for overnight lending among the commercial banks at around 1%, since a year.

Engineers Certification in Ontario


Engineers Certification in OntarioJob search for new immigrants in Canada is a long process. 
The job seekers send resumes, receive or do not receive responses, participate in job interviews, trying to showcase their skills to their best advantage, willingly agree to any feasible offer, having one particular goal in mind – to establish their roots in Canada.

While leaving through such a challenging plight, I came across the name OACETT (The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologist) and sent the required documents to apply. Let’s have a look on what exactly is certification and why do we need it.

First of all, when I landed in Canada in January 2011, I didn’t have too many choices to start with. Although I started sending my resumes two months before I left Ukraine for Canada. 20 out of 200 resumes that I had sent were apologetically declined, and I also received 2 invitations to come and register in person with employment agencies. Upon arriving, I had methodically browsed 20 employment agencies and filled out tons of useless papers. At every place I went to, I took the production safety test (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System). I had some luck in 2 weeks and was accepted as an armchairs assembly worker. It was hard, but at least I had enough money to survive for starters. Thus I had been working hard my full time job, which hardly left any time for further job search, I made a decision to focus specifically on a job search relevant or similar to my qualification – Mechanical Engineer, M.E. I had my degree translated into English as well as an experience of working as a process engineer on my resume. I kept sending my resumes and at the same time had been focusing on polishing my English language skills to bring it up to professional level. In several weeks I started to receive real invitations to come for an interview.  That is when I first realized the importance of having certification. In relatively decent and big companies, after passing the mandatory English proficiency test (or some grade 8 level math assignments test as well), I was asked to show some professional licenses and certificates (these not to be confused with educational credentials). Having heard that I didn’t have any, they would make a sad face and cast their eyes down. So when I came across the OACETT website it didn’t take me long to make up my mind and apply.

This organization is a self governing body (which means that it is run on member fees and by the members). Since it would be hard for a novice to grasp the whole concept of this organization and take in all the nuances, let’s just talk specifically about certification. The main goal of the certification is to verify the professional level and English language proficiency.
