Isabel Guerra
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA Canada) has announced that Canada will support people in Southern Peru to acquire education and employment.
A part of Skills for Employment Initiative, this project aims to help developing countries by building a skilled workforce, necessary for economic growth.
The program, which will be implemented by the Rainbow of Hope for Children Society, will help 700 people from the District of Chincha Baja in Southern Peru through the rebuilding of the Centre for Occupational Education, destroyed in the 2007 earthquake, Marketwire reports.
These students, of whom 70% will be women, will acquire education and training in the fields of leadership, health education, money management, communications and job searching.
The Skills for Employment initiative is a key element of the Canadian Prime Minister's commitment to increase Canada's engagement in the Americas.

US Embassy waives interview requirement for tourism visa applicants
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
Under the new Rapid Renewal Program instituted by the U.S. Embassy in Lima, certain applicants for U.S. business and tourism visas may no longer be required to appear for a personal interview at the Embassy.
These applicants are “Interview Exempt.”
Any Interview Exempt applicant who has not had impressions of all ten fingerprints taken at a prior visa interview will have to appear at the Embassy for fingerprints only, and will be able to leave after the fingerprints are taken.
If an Interview Exempt applicant has already had impressions of all ten fingerprints taken at a prior visa interview, those prior fingerprints can now be re-used, so the applicant will not have to come to the Embassy at all, but may instead send all required documents to the Embassy via the DHL delivery service.
The applicant’s passport and new visa will then be returned by DHL.
Find out more about the Rapid Renewal Program.
