U.S. crude futures rose 92 cents to settle at $54.23 a barrel, a 1.73 percent gain. Brent crude futures gained 33 cents, or 0.54 percent, to $61.65 a barrel. Prices extended gains after government data showed U.S. crude oil stockpiles rose less than expected last week due to a drop in imports, while gasoline inventories fell from record highs as refiners slowed production. Crude inventories rose by 919,000 barrels, the Energy Information Administration said, compared with analysts expectations in a Reuters poll for an increase of 3.2 million barrels. After eight straight weeks of builds to a record high, gasoline stocks fell 2.2 million barrels last week, versus forecasts for a 1.9 million-barrel gain. The report looked supportive on several fronts with the most obvious being a smaller-than-expected crude build of less than 1 million barrels, Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch and Associates, said in a note. While the slight increase may not appear monumental, we will reiterate that the build compared with 5-year average increases of about 7.5 million barrels. The market has been supported since Washington announced export sanctions against Venezuela on Monday, limiting transactions between U.S. companies and Venezuelan state-owned oil firm PDVSA. The fight to control Venezuela, which has the world s largest oil reserves, has intensified with the new sanctions aimed at driving President Nicolas Maduro from power, the strongest U.S. measures yet against the socialist president who has overseen economic collapse and an exodus of millions of Venezuelans in recent years. The sanctions aim to freeze sale proceeds from PDVSA s exports of roughly 500,000 barrels per day of crude to the United States, the OPEC member s largest crude importer. Traders who sell Venezuelan crude to the United States are looking for avenues to keep crude flowing during the sanctions, according to people familiar with the discussions, while U.S. companies that buy Venezuelan oil have also been looking for work-arounds, seeking counsel for instance on whether the use of third-party intermediaries, such as commodity merchants, can continue Yet the risks of such an event seem very low, he added. This oil will find its way to the market. Market participants remained worried about global economic growth, which has shown signs of slowing amid a trade dispute between the United States and China, the world s two biggest economies. World markets slip on China worries; dollar steady ahead of trade talks Officials from Washington and Beijing launched a new round of trade talks on Wednesday. The two sides have slapped hefty import tariffs on each other s goods. China reported its lowest annual economic growth in nearly 30 years last week, adding to a litany of worrying economic data from Europe and East Asia.court, a process which requires consensus among member states. As a result, the court is running out of judges, and will be unable to issue binding rulings in disputes. While the United States was among the signatory countries of the e-commerce agreement, it did not participate in a separate informal WTO gathering chaired by Switzerland.

REUTERS/Andres Martinez Casares Vale, miners shares climb on post-disaster plan to shut dams BRUMADINHO, Brazil (Reuters) - Vale SA s shares recovered some extensive recent losses on Wednesday that were triggered by a deadly tailing dam collapse, after the world s largest iron ore producer announced a plan to sacrifice production for safety. Vale will cut 10 percent of its output by decommissioning 10 dams, Chief Executive Fabio Schvartsman said on Tuesday, as the death toll following the miner s second dam collapse in just over three years was expected to exceed 300. The announcement triggered an 8.5 percent rally in Vale shares as well as a broader bounce in Chinese iron ore futures and shares of rival companies. At least 84 bodies have been recovered from the slurry at the Corrego do Feijao mine so far following the dam s collapse last week, with over 250 people still missing and presumed dead. Vale s initiative aims to pre-empt tough questions about its safety record in the wake of Friday s disaster, coming after a similar deadly dam collapse in 2015 at the nearby Samarco mine, which Vale coowns with BHP Group. U.N. human rights experts called for an official investigation into the disaster. Baskut Tuncat, a U.N. expert on disposal of hazardous substances, urged Brazil to prioritize dam safety evaluations and block new tailing dams until safety could be ensured. Vale s plan to spend 5 billion reais ($1.3 billion) decommissioning dams over the next three years involves suspending operations at mines producing about 40 million tonnes of iron ore and 11 million tonnes of pellets per year, Schvartsman told journalists.

REUTERS/Washington Alves Shares in Vale s rivals BHP Group, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group rose, lifting Australia s metals and mining index. In our reports published over the last few days, we highlighted that the two main uncertainties in the area of financial impact were the impact on short and medium-term production and potential legal actions stemming from the event, XP strategist Karel Luketic said in a research note. Vale s announcement helps ease worries relative to the first uncertainty mentioned, production, Luketic said.

Thursday, January 31. 2019 C2 LOCAL NEWS Trump slams U.S. intelligence chiefs as passive and naive on Iran WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Wednesday called U.S. intelligence chiefs extremely passive and naive on Iran and dismissed their assessments of the threat posed by North Korea a day after they contradicted his views during congressional testimony. Leaders of the U.S. intelligence community told a Senate committee on Tuesday that the nuclear threat from North Korea persists and that Iran is not taking steps toward making a nuclear bomb, conclusions that contrasted starkly with Trump s assessments of those countries. The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! Trump, whose has criticized U.S. intelligence agencies starting even before he took office, said in a Twitter post. Trump cited Iranian rocket launches and said that Tehran was coming very close to the edge. Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school! Trump said. Trump last year pulled out of an international nuclear deal with Iran put in place under his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, saying Tehran was not living up to the spirit of the agreement, and re-imposed sanctions. Under the 2015 deal, Iran agreed to restrictions on its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of sanctions. FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Director Gen. Robert Ashley, National Security Agency (NSA) Director Gen. Paul Nakasone and Robert Cardillo, director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, testify to the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing about worldwide threats on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., January 29, 2019. REUTERS/Joshua Roberts The U.S. intelligence officials told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Iran was not developing nuclear weapons in violation of agreement. Their assessments also broke with other assertions by Trump, including on the threat posed by Russia to U.S. elections, the threat that the Islamic State militant group poses in Syria and North Korea s commitment to denuclearize. The President has a dangerous habit of undermining the intelligence community to fit his alternate reality, Senator Mark Warner, the Intelligence Committee s top Democrat, wrote on Twitter. People risk their lives for the intelligence he just tosses aside on Twitter. Republican U.S. Representative Mike Gallagher, who served as a Marine Corps intelligence officer during the Iraq war, defended the intelligence agencies, saying, They are doing a very difficult job and they are actually trying to advance the president s priorities. Trump has challenged U.S. intelligence agencies findings in the past, including casting doubt on their conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election with a campaign of hacking and propaganda to help him win the presidency. Former CIA Director John Brennan last year called Trump s performance at a joint news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin nothing short of treasonous after Trump seemed to give credence to Putin s denial of Russia meddling in the 2016 election. In retaliation, Trump revoked Brennan s security clearance. On Wednesday, Brennan called Trump s refusal to accept the intelligence assessments a sign of intellectual bankruptcy. The CIA and the Director of National Intelligence office did not comment on Trump s remarks. Trump has invested heavily in improving relations with North Korea in hopes of getting the reclusive communist nation to abandon its nuclear ambitions. He broke with decades of U.S. policy when he agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last June and has planned a second summit in February. North Korea relationship is best it has ever been with U.S. No testing, getting remains, hostages returned. Decent chance of Denuclearization, Trump said on Twitter. I look forward to seeing Kim Jong Un shortly. Progress being made-big difference! was unlikely to give it up. I.P.

Personality and characteristics Pigs might not stand out in a crowd. But they are very realistic. Others may be all talk and no action. Pigs are the opposite. Though not wasteful spenders, they will let themselves enjoy life. They love entertainment and will occasionally treat themselves. They are a bit materialistic, but this is motivation for them to work hard. Being able to hold solid objects in their hands gives them security. Men born in the Pig year are optimistic and gentle. They are very focused. Once they decide on a goal, they ll put everything into it. They are not the best with money. Though cool-headed, they are also gullible. They trust others easily and are often scammed. This can cause them to lose a fortune. Women born in the Pig year are full of excitement. They attend social events whenever possible and treat everyone genuinely. Combined with their easygoing personality, they gain everyone s trust. However, they are sometimes over-friendly. In their excitement, they can forget to give others personal space. They also have good fortune with wealth. As long as they keep at it, the efforts will not go to waste. Though they don t start with an advantage, their hard work will keep money Health and lifestyle Pigs mostly have a great build and a resilient body. They are always spirited, as if they will never run out of energy. Their natural health is something Pigs are proud of. But sometimes they can be overconfident and overlook some minor symptoms. If neglected for too long, even the smallest things can become grave. Pigs in the Year of the Pig (2019) The year of one s zodiac sign is their 本命 年(ben ming nian). It is traditionally the most unlucky year with trouble and danger lurking at every corner. Similar to the previous year, Pigs may find luck in some areas of their life, but others COMMUNITY will require hard work to avoid potential pitfalls. Pigs will most likely experience many emotional ups and downs, making them feel frustrated and sad at times. This will not be a transitional year for Pigs, and it is best to try and stick it out in situations if at all possible. While that can be terribly frustrating, try to remember that a key element to utilizing your luck is timing. Next year will bear good fruit for Pigs, but the time isn t right to harvest the fruits of your labor. Instead, familiarize yourself with possible oversights and improve upon them so you may take advantage of similar situations as they occur in the future. This is a key element in many Asian religions, that is to say, you may be stuck consulting the same problem over and over until you solve it. Careers Pigs 2019 horoscope reveals that changing careers may bring unforeseen consequences, and in most cases should be avoided. Instead, keep your nose to the grindstone and be wary of conflict. Pigs have a way of directly confronting their problems and at times this can impair their ability to see the deeper meaning of an issue. While Pigs can expect confrontation this year it will be best to face these problems with patience and practicality, two tools that are in Pigs tool belt but aren t always utilized when they should be. Luckiest Months: April 8th July 20th Unluckiest Months: September 12th December 2nd Education The education forecast for Pigs, however, reveals some good fortune. For those seeking higher education, it seems the stars are aligned in your favor. The 2019 Pig horoscope shows that investing in education will position them to take better advantage of future opportunities. Health Health can be rated as a mediocre catego- ry for Pigs this year. While there are no major illnesses on your horizon, Pigs will have to pay attention to minor ailments to keep them from growing into something large. If you feel ill, don t delay in consulting a physician or healer, this is a major key to staying healthy this year. Other than this, maintain a consistent exercise regimen and a diet made up of healthy, unprocessed foods. Add more fruits and vegetables to your diet for an extra boost to your immunity Relationships The love forecast for Pigs is also pretty unremarkable for 2019. It seems that while this is not the year for true romance, there will be plenty of enjoyable moments and new prospects during this year. However, it is important to be observant as these opportunities are meant to teach you a lesson about what is and isn t important in a suitor. C4 Fortunately for Pigs, the lack of reltionship drama means they can focus on making new friends and connections. Extending their network could have a significant impact on Pigs future, and in some respects be more rewarding than an intimate relationship. Remember not to be too quick to jump into a relationship as it may lead to more problems than it is worth, focus instead on enlarging your circle of friends. Lifestyle Pigs are in for almost an unfair year it seems. This year is about favoring the characteristics of Pigs in order to succeed, but for Pigs, to whom this comes naturally, they will have a difficult year and must practice patience and discipline. It is important to remember not to be short sighted. You could focus on this year and say it is unfair, or you could focus on the future and realize that this time is meant to set up opportunities for the long term and practice the elements that will make you successful in your future endeavors.

C5 THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 2019 Possibly The Largest Caravan Yet New Caravan Of 12,000 Migrants Heading To U.S. Compiled And Edited By John T. Robbins, Southern Daily Editor Another massive migrant caravan is on its way to the U.S. from Central America. The possibly largest-ever caravan from Central America has amassed more than 12,000 people, some of who intend to pursue refugee status in Mexico, while many more are headed for the U.S., the New York Times reported Friday. The number in the caravan isn t just an estimate it s the number of migrants who have requested visas from the Mexican government. Dan Bongino @dbongino Newest Migrant Caravan Grows to More Than 12,000 Members 3,793 9:00 AM - Jan 28, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy The migrant caravan that formed on January 15 in Honduras has now grown from 2,000 to over 12,000 members, according to Breitbart. 3,830 people are talking about this On Jan. 17, Mexico s new president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has vowed to issue one-year humanitarian visas that will allow migrants to travel and settle in Mexico. It is part of Obrador s policies aimed at reducing migration and spurring job growth in Mexico. As of Thursday, 8,446 adults and 1,897 children had applied for the visas, most of which are Honduras nationals, according to the Washington Post. Obrador s new visa policy is said to be a huge attractor of migrants, though less than 1,000 visas have been granted so far. President Trump tweeted to acknowledge the caravan on Saturday, saying, We have turned away, at great expense, two major Caravans, but a big one has now formed and is coming. At least 8000 people! If we had a powerful Wall, they wouldn t even try to make the long and dangerous journey. Build the Wall and Crime will Fall! Donald J. Trump @realdonaldtrump We have turned away, at great expense, two major Caravans, but a big one has now formed and is coming. At least 8000 people!

It will happen it always does! Donald J.

It will happen - it always does! 146K 2:52 PM - Jan 26, 2019 71.6K people are talking about this The Mexican government released data showing that 132,000 illegal immigrants were detained throughout 2018. The U.S. Border Patrol captured nearly 400,000 illegal immigrants between Oct. 2017 and Sept. 2018 before the Central American caravans even began in the fall. Mexican authorities stopped 18,000 migrants in October, and another 12,000 in November. With the new humanitarian visas, they are completely shifting their approach on migration. Thousands of migrants still remain in Tijuana, Mexico, where the last major caravans stopped in their attempt to cross into the U.S. There, migrants are awaiting asylum interviews with U.S. immigration agencies after the U.S. mandated that migrants must remain in Mexico while their asylum cases are pending. Mexico had offered jobs and assistance to migrants in the previous caravans, but the migrants refused, instead wanting to pursue asylum in the U.S. (Courtesy americanmilitarynews.com) Related Mexico Moves to Encourage Caravan Migrants to Stay and Work Migrants in Huixtla, Mexico, try- ing to get a free ride on a sugar cane truck during their journey toward the United States. (Photo/Reuters) CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico Mexico s new president has moved decisively to encourage migrants fleeing poverty and violence in Central America to stay and work in Mexico, making it easier for them to get visas and work permits and promoting investments and ambitious public works projects to create jobs. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador s policies are already proving to be a magnet for migrants, who are finding it harder to enter the United States given President Trump s antipathy toward immigration. A migrant caravan heading to Mexico from Central America the largest ever has already swollen to over 12,000 people, with many saying they intend to remain in Mexico, at least for the time being. The new Mexican president s generosity toward immigrants, officials say, dovetails with his broader commitment to protect human rights, reduce inequality and prioritize the poor. Mr. López Obrador s pro-immigrant stance also serves as a dramatic counterpoint to the White House, without directly challenging Mr. Trump. But these policies could ultimately put pressure on the Mexico-United States border, as most in the caravan eventually hope to cross into the United States.

The humanitarian visa that they re giving now is the reason we are here, said Carlos del Valle, a Guatemalan teacher who was standing in line with his family this week to apply for the visa on the bridge connecting Guatemala with Mexico. Later, if possible, we can get to the United States, he said. Under the streamlined process, which began last week, the government is seeking to issue the humanitarian visa in an average of five days rather than a month. Migration officials said the policy would be permanent. Migrants from the caravan playing cards this month to pass the time in the Barretal shelter in Tijuana, Mexico.

But it could also draw even more migrants to trek north to the border with the United States, inflaming tensions with a Trump administration determined to build a border wall and lower immigration numbers. On Thursday, the Trump administration said it would institute a new policy to return most asylum-seekers to Mexico if they had arrived at the southwest border by land. Under the policy, which is intended to discourage Central Americans from migrating to the United States and to ease pressure on the asylum system, the petitioners would be required to remain in Mexico while they await the outcome of their cases. The Mexican government initially said it was speeding up the application process for humanitarian visas as an exception for the current migrant caravan only. But on Thursday, a spokeswoman with Mexico s national migration agency said the expedited process would be permanent. (Courtesy The New York Times)

移民資訊 星期四 2019 年 1 月 31 日 C6 Thursday, January 31, 2019 移民律师谈 H1B 工签新规 移民官将有更大权裁案 美国 H-1B 工作签证又有新规定国 土安全部(DHS)上月底公布 H-1B 申请修 正方案 申请 H-1B 签证的雇主必须先向 移民局(USCIS)电子注册参加抽签 中签 者再递交完整文件 且抽签顺序也有新 改变即便此项改革将硕士学位及以上 申请者的中签率提高 16% 但移民律师 认为 新规可能让移民官裁决案件权力 更大 呼吁明年准备申请 H-1B 者 最好 提早准备相应文件对付未来的改变 新规与以往最大的不同处在于 申 请者需先在网上完成电子注册 注册开 放时间约为 14 天移民局会在开放登记 日前 30 天 公布电子注册的开始与截止 日期该新规也调整抽签顺序 凡是有 大学学位以上的申请者均可纳入第一轮 65000 个名额的抽签 若在第一轮没中 签 硕士学位及以上学历者 则可参加 第二轮 2 万名额的抽签 该作业程序将使硕士及以上学历者 的中签率提高 16% 相对地 仅持有学 士学位者中签人数将减少 近年移民局处理 H-1B 签证的工作负 荷严重超量 在每年五天的送件期限内 移民局从 2013 年收到申请件数 124130 件 逐年上升到 2017 年的 198460 件 其 中 2016 年更达到 23 万 6444 件新规将 大幅减少移民局在 4 月初收到的 H-1B 申 请件 也将减轻退件的繁重工作 国土安全部严禁同一雇主在同一会 加拿大担保父母 祖父母移民将开抢 担保人要供养 20 年 计年度内 为同一个受益人提交多份 H-1B 申请 移民律师陈启耕表示 过去有不少 雇主 帮工作签证申请人用不同工作头 衔递交多次 H-1B 申请新规让雇主先在 网络填写基本数据 这样一来可方便移 民局事先找到相关问题 抓到违规申请 案件他坦言 这次改变确实可让移民 局在执行 行政上更快速 同时也可减 少移民局过去在行政上的疏忽 移民律师许俊良也认为 电子注册 能挡住滥用的案子 在行程上初步过滤 掉滥用的案件 帮助申请者提高中签率 虽然新规将 H-1B 抽签过程简化 但也 规定中签者不再有补件的机会这意味 着 移民官将有更大的权力裁决任何案 件 他强调 移民局过去给予申请者补 件的解释机会 事实上过去也曾遇过不 少同个公司 同个职位的案件 但有的 被要求补件以说服移民局通过案件 有 的则根本不需要补件就一次通过若不 给予补件机会 很多人需要通过上诉才 有机会翻案 而该申请者如何在上诉过 程中 维持合法身份留美是另一个问题 因为法律不提供等待上诉者任何合法 身份留在美国 问及这项新规是否导致更多民众攻 取硕士或以上学位 以获得较高中签率 陈启耕认为 新规事实上不是对任何 硕士或以上学历申请者有利 而是对工 作岗位有需要硕士或更高学位的申请者 才有实质帮助 他说 无论是新或旧的抽签方式与 顺序 移民局审核标准都是同样严格 况且审核通过与否 与雇主提供的工作 岗位需求 薪资相关对于雇主来说 更高的学历也代表着更高的薪资 因此 申请者不用一概追求硕士以上学历 最 好是先确认公司的职位是否需要硕士或 以上学历 最新的 H-1B 改革方案 12 月 3 日公布 在联邦公报(Federal Register) 接下来 30 天将开放各界提供意见与评论 若一切 顺利 新方案将于 4 月开始施行 澳大利亚公民入籍仪式 将强制国庆节举行 澳大利亚移民部长高民(David Coleman)当地时间 1 月 12 日宣布 将修订条 约 将公民入籍仪式强制固定在澳洲国 庆节(1 月 26 日)举行 同时 还将推出 严格的仪式着装规定 高民在一份声明中说 新澳洲公 民应该被给与在国庆节成为澳洲人的机 会虽然大多数市政府早前也已是在 1 月 26 日举行入籍仪式 但在国庆节成为 澳洲人是一个巨大的荣誉 我希望更多 人有这个机会 据悉 有关条例将于 2019 年上半年 推出届时 澳洲公民入籍典礼条例将 被修改 此后 澳洲各地的地方市政府 将必须在当日举行公民入籍仪式同时 也必须在 9 月 17 日(澳洲公民日)举行 第二次公民入籍仪式 澳洲总理莫理逊(Scott Morrison)日 前同样表示 联邦政府将保护国庆节 确保其受到尊重他说 我们相信所 有获得授予公民身份特权 而举办入籍 仪式的市政府都应该被要求在国庆节举 行仪式 纽省省长贝莉珍妮安(Gladys Berejiklian)也表示 1 月 26 日是举行入籍仪式 最自然的日子 我认为大多数人都很 高兴能成为澳洲公民 那还有什么日子 比在澳洲日举行更好 但工党领袖索顿(Bill Shorten)指责 执政党用政治介入国庆庆祝 并表示 澳 洲 537 个 市 政 府 中 已 有 530 个 在 国 庆节举行入籍仪式他打趣说 每 年这个时候 每当保守派政治家提前 数周利用政治活动介入国庆 我们便 知道国庆节将至了这是保守派为保 证让他们的铁票选民高兴所做的事情 由于 1 月 26 日为英国第一舰队抵达 悉尼的日子 近年社会上对当日作为澳 洲国庆节存在争议 但两大党均公开表 示 不会修改国庆节但联邦政府提出 保留澳洲日(Australia Day)作为国庆之 余 另设一日公众假期 作为澳洲原住 民的节日 去年 纽省和维省共 4 个地方议 会宣布不再在澳洲日举办公民入籍仪 式 遭联邦政府褫夺举办仪式的资格 莫理逊更在评论此事时强调 现代 澳洲国家从 1788 年 1 月 26 日开始 并批评 自暴自弃 不会让国家更强 大 英国新移民政策倾向吸收更多人才 2019 年度的担保父母祖父母移民 将于下 1 月 28 日接受申请 已经有移 民公司额外花钱聘请 枪手 第一时 间登录网站代客户抢位不过 有移 民律师表示 该项移民每年都开放 应该不会一两天就立刻额满有本地 移民顾问就对移民部承诺两年内能处 理完个案表示怀疑 对于此次担保父母祖父母移民将 采用先到先得方式 取代原有的随机 抽签制度 移民律师王仁铎指出 没 有制度是十全十美 采用先到先得制 度 令有些人会想办法把数据先送进 去 想尽办法排在前面他说 如果 一开放接受申请名额就立刻爆满的话 即说明这一方法有问题 王仁铎分析 父母祖父母移民并 非关闭多年后重开的项目 而是每年 都有 此外 今年移民部还将申请名 额上限增至 2 万个 理论上不是所有父 母都想移民 且不是所有想申请的担 保人都能符合资格 因此应该不会出 现开闸一两天就满额的情况 至于移民部预计整项申请的审批 时间约两年完成 王仁铎表示政府应 做不到 除非是审批比较顺利的个案 他称 政府说两年 做不到也没甚 么后果 因此说多快完成没有甚么实 际意义 但比以往连时间都不说要好 一些 此外 本地资深移民顾问杨敏颖 则表示 自从移民部推出超级签证(Super Visa)后 她就很少向客人推荐担保 父母祖父母移民了她指出 担保父 母祖父母申请程序相对复杂 而她以 前那些成功申办父母祖父母移民加拿 大的客人 最后有六 七成因不想留 在加拿大 或加拿大中国两边飞 无 法满足永久居民要求 而最终放弃身 份她通常会建议客人先申请超级签 证 抵加后若真的喜欢在加拿大居住 再申请移民也不迟 由于担保父母祖父母移民 会被 要求担保人承诺供养被担保人 20 年 令担保人受到诸多限制 比如若担保 人就业状况突然发生变化 便难以应 对被担保人的生活开支 不过 杨敏颖对移民部改用先到 先得的方式进行申请表示赞同她说 以往采用抽签制 只有运气好的人 才被抽到 其他人也无法立刻知道自 己是否获得资格但她担心 移民部 计划接收 2.7 万个移民表格 然后从中 审核筛选出 2 万份合格表格 但移民部 无法预知 2.7 万个移民表格中 符合资 格的是否刚好是 2 万个 若有超过 2 万 个的合资格申请 势必又要延期到下 一年处理 几年下来又会造成大量个 案积压此外 她对移民部能否两年 内完成个案表示怀疑 根据以往经验 她认为不可能做到 除非申请个案 不多 杨敏颖提醒市民 移民部网站公 布的担保人收入要求仅为一个基数 加拿大不同地方还要加上不同的消费 指数 例如大温地区则要在公布的基 数上再增加 30% 而一些乡村地区消费 指数则相对较低 英国广播公司(BBC)中文网刊文称 目前在英国留学的 45 万海外学生中 中国留学生占约 10 万人 多年来稳
