However, the impact of the mother’s educational qualification exceeded that of the father’s for attendance at most activities. For most selected cultural activities, the importance of a conjugal partner’s education surpassed that of the parent’s level of education, regardless of the level of participation.

According to the text,The Canadian population is not only aging, but becoming increasingly diverse. Over the last ten years, the net migration rate into Canada has been double that of the US, one of the highest increases among comparable OECD countries.As Canada’s population continues to age, immigration will become an increasingly important factor in maintaining Canadian population growth; moreover, integrating skilled immigrants into the labour force quickly and effectively will become a key priority for Canadian policy-makers. A major barrier facing skilled immigrants entering the Canadian labour market is the difficulty in obtaining recognition for foreign credentials and experience. This contributes to higher rates of unemployment and underemployment among immigrants, especially for those who intend to work in regulated occupations.

Question 40 of 60
40. Question
According to the text, if the opposing party also wants a postponement, it:Postponement of a HearingIn an effort to conduct its matters efficiently, the Tribunal will not grant postponements, except on a motion and only for “good cause” shown. Good cause is not the scheduling of another commitment after a party receives the notice of hearing. The fact that the opposing party has no objection to a postponement request will not, without good cause, provide a basis for a postponement. If a postponement is unavoidable, it is imperative that the request be filed as soon as possible.
If a case lends itself to settlement, then the settlement should take place in sufficient time to allow the Tribunal to cancel accommodations and court reporters so that the Tribunal is not charged a fee for services. The Tribunal would like at least five days’ notice, but must have at least two days’ notice of settlement when possible, to avoid incurring costs.

Question 58 of 60
58. Question
What is the purpose of the above text?Postponement of a HearingIn an effort to conduct its matters efficiently, the Tribunal will not grant postponements, except on a motion and only for “good cause” shown. Good cause is not the scheduling of another commitment after a party receives the notice of hearing. The fact that the opposing party has no objection to a postponement request will not, without good cause, provide a basis for a postponement. If a postponement is unavoidable, it is imperative that the request be filed as soon as possible.
If a case lends itself to settlement, then the settlement should take place in sufficient time to allow the Tribunal to cancel accommodations and court reporters so that the Tribunal is not charged a fee for services. The Tribunal would like at least five days’ notice, but must have at least two days’ notice of settlement when possible, to avoid incurring costs.
