This exploratory study investigates former international students’ experiences pursuing permanent status with the use of primary data from interviews with five individuals. Guided by the question, “what characterizes former international students’ trajectories to permanent residence” and based on the understanding that discourses of exclusion and control inform immigration policies today (Fobear, 2014), personal experiences are explored as realities of temporariness in which subjects are contained by the following forms of regulation: time limits, employment specificity, and temporary legal status. Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory is employed to showcase participants as “knowledgeable” (Sewell, 1992:4) and reflexive agents (Turner, 1986); how they persevere and negotiate their way to permanent residence by enacting creative strategies and enduring the emotional labour that characterize their search for and securing of ‘skilled’ employment while mitigating the immediate need for income, in reframing their mindsets and in their reflections upon the meaning of their pursuits for permanence.

Permanent Residents

This research critically analyzes the introduction of the Express Entry system in Canada, requiring foreign nationals to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) and wait for an invitation before being allowed to apply for permanent residence. Drawing on available empirical data, I argue that this reform jeopardized international students’ chance to become permanent residents. Despite recent modifications that intended to improve their situation, the pathways to permanent residence of international students are still restricted. Particularly, international PhD students are negatively impacted as the previously existing PhD stream under the Federal Skilled Worker Program covertly disappeared from the current regime. This research concludes with suggestions on how to further modify the current immigration system to facilitate international students’ transitions into Canada.

This chapter analyzes immigration reform and the knowledge worker recruitment aspects of the Hart–Celler Act of 1965 to track the intensifying convergence of educational exchange programs, economic nationalism, and immigration reform. During the Cold War, the State Department expanded cultural diplomacy programs so that the numbers of international students burgeoned, particularly in the fields of science. Although the programs were initially conceived as a way of instilling influence over the future leaders of developing nations, international students, particularly from Taiwan, India, and South Korea, took advantage of minor changes in immigration laws and bureaucratic procedures that allowed students, skilled workers, and technical trainees to gain legal employment and eventually permanent residency and thereby remain in the United States.

This study aims to determine the management and control system of trade receivables on the effectiveness of the cash flow company’s at PT. Enseval Putera Megatrading, Tbk. The data source used in this study is the primary data source, obtained directly from the company. The analytical method used for testing the management and control system of receivables on the effectiveness of cash flow is the analysis of financial ratios. In this study, the data used for analysis are qualitative data analysis and financial ratio analysis, namely the activity ratio (RTO, ACP, Arrears Ratio, and Billing Ratio). The results showed that (1) RTO of PT. Enseval Putera Megatrading, the highest rate in 2017 was 189 times, while the lowest RTO was in 2015 which was 115 times. This shows the normal level of turnover. The faster the payment terms, the better for the company, because the faster the working capital embedded in receivables returns to capital or cash, which means the higher the receivables turnover. (2) ACP or the average age of collection of receivables applied by companies, especially the value in 2017 is 2 days. This means that the company has been effective in managing its accounts receivable because the standard for collecting receivables set by the company is the repayment limit or due date no later than 7 (seven) to 90 (Ninety) calendar days from the billing statement received by the service user. (3) The Arrears Ratio, namely from 2014-2018, the largest was only 1.11%. This shows that the lower the arrears ratio, the better for the company, which means the company is able to handle its receivables properly. (4) Billing Ratio shows that from 2014-2018 the lowest that is 98.88% shows the greater the value of collectible receivables means the greater the percentage value of the collection ratio so that the better for the company because of the greater return on corporate capital. Then it can be concluded that the Billing Ratio of PT. Enseval Putera Megatrading, it's not working effectively.

International Labor Migration

This article applies the theory of structuration to international labor migration using case study material from the Philippines. It first provides a brief review of the functional and structural approaches to understanding labor migration and the theoretical impasse that has been created between them. It then reviews several attempts to resolve this impasse, including systems and networks approaches; these solutions are rejected on theoretical and empirical grounds. We suggest that migrant institutions may be a more appropriate mid-level concept than households or social networks to articulate various levels of analysis. We develop this concept in the context of the structuration theory of Anthony Giddens and attempt to apply this to the Philippines, concluding that this framework is eminently suited for further research on international labor migration.

This study investigates the poor claims settlement and demand for insurance policies in Nigeria to provide empirical evidence which would assist not only the insurance companies but also the policymakers by using these findings to design future insurance services and policies that can be geared towards promoting insurance market development. The population focused in the study included few licensed insurance firms in Nigeria. This is due to the fact that they dominate and control the larger interest in the market share. Primary data was used for this study through well-structured questionnaire. Chi- squared statistics and correlation with the tabulated contingency table on the basis of an assumptions were employed. The results show that poor claim settlement has significant effect on demand for Insurance policies in Nigeria and that there is long term and significant relationship between poor claim settlement and demand for insurance policies in Nigeria. The study therefore, recommends that insurance industry should be redefined through appropriate Acts, introducing competitions and innovations in the services so as to compete effectively and meet consumer needs by dealing with changing expectations of policyholders so as to ensure that satisfaction of all the parties are guaranteed.
