INTRODUCTION
More and more, English is getting a global language in business and increasing number of Asian students come to North American colleges to take an English course every year. Some of them gain a lot, but quite many students can’t get much from their English courses. Considering their cost, their experience and English improvement can be a small gain. 

Hanwood believe international student should get more from their experience and there should be a way. Having an opportunity to participate in an introductory class for practical courses, students can be more exposed to English in everyday life (not classroom English). Another benefit is to be motivated to search for vocational career in Canada.

FAST-TRACT APPLICATION TO PERMANENT RESIDENCE: MANITOBA PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Beginning in 2011, international graduates from a post-secondary educational program of at least two academic years at a Manitoba institution will be able to apply immediately to the provincial nominee program in advance of receiving an offer of employment. Previously, international graduates could only apply to the Manitoba provincial nominee program after working for a Manitoba employer for at least six months. As part of the changes, international students applying for the fast-track program will also enrol in an employment-readiness program upon completion of their studies. The program will include job readiness, career coaching and job-matching services.
