Änderung bedroht Einwanderungsaufschwung

Gesetze zwingt Unternehmen Kosten auf


... Wenn Statistiken am Ende dieses Jahr oder frühe im nächsten Jahr herauskommen und den ersten Rückgang an Immigranten in 13 Jahren in Manitoba zeigen, wird bestimmt die Rezession verantwortlich gemacht. Und es besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass es eine Rolle gespielt haben wird. Aber es gibt auch einen anderen Grund.

Im April machte die NDP Regierung die erste größere Änderung für Kandidaten des Einwanderungsprogramms – Manitobas Geheimwaffe beim Anwerben von Immigranten in die Provinz statt anderen Provinzen – das Programm begann 1996.

.. . die Reaktion von Vermittlern ausländischer Arbeitnehmer (Einwanderungsberatern) ist prompt gewesen. Star 7 International von Winkler, die das Nominee Program als ein Pilotprojekt gründete, sagte, dass sie da nicht mitmachen.

Star 7 brachte fast 2,500 Immigranten im letzten Jahr nach Manitoba, und viel importanter, das Unternehmen ist die zentrale Figur hinter der Wiederbevölkerung des ländlichen Manitobas. Mehr als 80 Prozent seiner Immigranten ging im letzten Jahr zu ländlichen Gemeinden.

...mit Sicherheit wird die Rezession für die fallende Einwanderung verantwortlich gemacht, darum ist es wert zu bemerken, dass Star 7 bis Ende März immer noch Immigranten zu Jobs in Manitoba vermittelte, – Tage bevor Bill 22 (das Gesetz vom Parlament) verabschiedet wurde.



Change threatens immigration boom



Legislation puts companies on financial hook

… WHEN statistics come out later this year or early next year and show the first drop in im¬migration in 13 years in Manitoba, the recession will surely be blamed.

And no doubt it will have played a role. But there will be another reason, too.
In April, the NDP government made the first major changes to the immigration nominee program — Manitoba’s secret weapon in attracting immigrants here instead of other provinces — since the program began in 1996.

The reaction from foreign worker recruiters has been swift. Star 7 International of Winkler, which founded the nominee program as a pilot project, says it’s out.

Star 7 brought almost 2,500 immigrants to Manitoba last year and, more significantly, the company is the main driver behind the repopulation of rural Manitoba. More than 80 per cent of its immigrants last year went to rural communities.

… As much as the recession will be blamed for falling immigration, it’s worth noting that Star 7 was still matching immigrants to jobs in Manitoba as late as March, within days of Bill 22 passing.…

… den Preis für Unternehmen mit mehr als 10 Angestellten akzeptieren Adele Dyck von Stern -7 International.

"Es ist eine große Ehre," sagte Dyck. "Ich fühle mich sehr privilegiert."

Dyck gründete das Unternehmen zur Einwanderungsberatung im Jahr 1996 und hat seitdem über 3.500 Familien, rund um die Welt, geholfen eine neue Heimat in Kanada zu finden – einschließlich 1.500, die sich in der Region von Winkler niederließ.

"Es begann langsam mit 50 Familien, aber es wurde bald eine riesige Welle von Familien, die um Hilfe fragten, um sich in Südmanitoba anzusiedeln." sagte Dyck über die frühen Jahre des Unternehmens.



Chamber honours local businesses


Three local businesses were honoured for their contributions to the community at the Winkler and District Chamber of Commerce annual business award banquet.

… Accepting the award for businesses with more than 10 employees was Adele Dyck of Star-7 International.

“It’s a great honour,” Dyck said. “I feel very privileged.”

Dyck founded the immigration consulting firm in 1996, and has since helped over 3,500 families from around the world find a new home in Canada, including 1,500 who settled right here in the Winkler area.

“It started off slow, with 50 families, but soon it became a huge wave of families asking for help to move to Southern Manitoba,” Dyck said of the early years of the company.

Today, over 22 people work for Star-7, and the immigration trend shows no sign of slowing down, Dyck said.

The banquet also featured guest speaker Leo Ledohowski, president and chair of Canad Inns. Ledohowski gave an overview of the chain’s business strategy, and its growth, present holdings and future plans.

Einwanderung in Südmanitoba ist immer noch am wachsen.

Adele Dyck, Star 7, sagt, dass 2007 in den ersten vier Monaten rund 100 Familien mit insgesamt 600 Personen über Star 7 eingewandert sind.

Im letzten Jahr (2006) war die Gesamtsumme der Einwanderer über 1.000 Personen.

Dyck bemerkt, dass die beliebtesten Gegenden für neue Ankömmlinge, um ihre Häuser zu bauen, Altona, Winkler, Morden und zuletzt Oak Point sind.




Immigration in southern Manitoba is still increasing.


Adele Dyck is with Star 7 International in Winkler.

She says in the first four months of 2007, about 100 families or 600 people have immigrated through Star 7.

Last year's total was just over 1 thousand people.

Looking at current numbers, she does not expect the increase to slow down.

She says people are selling their houses faster in their home countries, and are coming over on work Visas before immigration applications are processed.

Dyck notes the most popular areas for new comers to make their homes are Altona, Winkler, Morden, and most recently Oak Point.

Feier von neuen „Manitobans“

Programm bringt 10.000 (Einwanderer)über letzte 10 Jahre (nach Manitoba).

Von Bill Redekop

Bis zu 5.000 neue „Manitobans“ versammelt sich morgen auf den Festplätzen von Winklerin, was ein bemerkenswertes Anzeichen von Manitobas neuem Wachstum und Erfolg beim Anwerben von Einwanderern ist.

Das riesige Fest markiert den 10. Jahrestag seit Adele Dyck, ein Pionier der Provinz das sehr erfolgreiche Einwanderungskandidatenprogramm (PNP), begann, um Immigranten zu helfen, sich in Manitoba anzusiedeln. Sie hat in dieser Zeit mehr als 10.000 Menschen bei ihrem Umzug geholfen.

Es wird auch ein Chance, den Immigranten Dankeschön zu sagen, sagte Dyck deren Einwanderungsberatungsgesellschaft, Star 7 International das Ereignis sponsert.

Ich denke, Manitoba sollte dankbar sein, dass diese Leute kamen und hier ihre neues Leben starteten, sie sagte.



Celebration of new Manitobans


Winnipeg Free Press, Sep 9, 2006 | by Redekop, Bill

Program brings 10,000 over last 10 years

By Bill Redekop


UP to 5,000 new Manitobans will gather on the Winkler Fairgrounds tomorrow in what is expected to be a remarkable display of Manitoba's new growth and success in attracting people.

The giant festival marks the 10th anniversary since Adele Dyck, a pioneer of the province's very successful immigration nominee program, began helping immigrants move to Manitoba. She has assisted more than 10,000 people to relocate in that time.

It will also be a chance to say thank-you to the immigrants, said Dyck, whose immigration consulting company, Star 7 International, is sponsoring the event.

"(The newcomers) are the ones who uprooted their families. I think Manitoba should be thankful these people came and restarted their lives here," she said.

The immigration nominee program, which aggressively matches immigrant workers with labour shortages in Manitoba, has been a huge shot in the arm for the Manitoba economy. It has bolstered many communities that were losing population, and provided labour so local industries could grow and not have to leave Manitoba.

The nominee program comprises 60 per cent of total immigration to Manitoba. Manitoba will receive more than 10,000 immigrants in 2006, the highest level in several decades. That compares to just 3,000 in 1998.

"We're feeling good here. The summer has been great," said Alexander Schroeder, who arrived from Germany six years ago with his wife and two sons, without knowing a word of English. He trained as a bricklayer at Red River College, got an apprentice job, and now is a foreman at Euro-Can Enterprises. The Schroeders have also added two daughters to the family.

"We wouldn't go back (to Germany)," Schroeder said.

In the News 2006 - Siemens Says

Winnipeg Free Press, Sep 9, 2006 | by Redekop, Bill

A Celebration indeed!


Last Sunday I attended an event in the City of Winkler [Manitoba Canada] Park that thrilled me. Why, because I witnessed, participated with, experienced the thrill of celebration like I haven’t seen in a while with over 2,000 new Canadian immigrants, mostly from Germany.

Star 7 International is an immigration consulting firm whose primary goal is to assist skilled workers, business persons, farmers, and professionals from abroad to immigrate to Canada and settle in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Adele Dyck, who started the Winkler, MB firm in 1996, has helped over 1200 families with their immigration to Manitoba, 10,000 people represented by the 2,000 who came together in Winkler to celebrate. “We have gained extensive experience by counseling families from western and eastern Europe and Latin America, to realize their dream of living and working in Canada,” says Dyck on her website. “The immigration process can be a time-consuming and costly undertaking. We encourage those interested in immigrating to Canada to carefully consider this life-changing decision together with family and friends.”

I sat with a young family at lunch where Robert, the husband had moved from Russia to Germany 19 years ago. He and his family were visiting his sister who lives between Morden and Winkler, and I don’t believe it was any coincidence that they attended this celebration. When his sister sat down beside to join in the conversation a little later, she bubbled over with enthusiasm for Canada and more specifically, Manitoba. When I asked her whether she had ever considered moving back to Germany, she enthusiastically stated, “I’ve made the trip once to Manitoba, and I don’t intend to make it again’. …

Sunday, about 2000 people who have come to Manitoba under the program celebrated their new lives in Canada. I’m happy to have participated in that celebration because it made me stand up and think, even evaluate how I and sometimes others who have lived in Manitoba, never give the greatness of this land a second thought, and for the most part taking it for granted. It takes young couples, together with their parents and in some cases grandparents from another part of the world, to illuminate that sparkle. In the future, I will write stories about the testimonies of those people who want only Canada, and no other country.

Nominee program boost for province

By Bill Redekop

Brandon Sun, March 12, 2006


WINNIPEG — Why is immigration important? Winnipeg needs people.


First launched as a trial project in Winkler in 1996, the provincial nominee program remains very much a made-in-Manitoba initiative.

The pilot project began in Winkler under the direction of Adele Dyck, matching immigrants with that city’s manufacturing jobs, and the idea blossomed into the nominee program by 1999.

By the end of this year, Dyck’s company, Star Seven International, will have helped nearly 10,000 people immigrate to Manitoba.

“We are not slowing down,” said Dyck, who uses other immigration programs in addition to the nominee program to bring people over.

For Dyck, an immigrant herself from Paraguay, it has been enormously gratifying to watch the immigrants become Canadians, and their children grow up and go to college and get married.

She gets a number of invitations to their weddings.

“I can’t go to all of them,” she said.

Immigrants offer world of opportunity for Sask. business

By Frank Goldberg in Winnipeg.

When more than 50 people show up for a breakfast seminar on immigration, it's a sign how much local business leaders are starting to worry about finding enough skilled workers.

By The StarPhoenix (Saskatoon)December 2, 2005

When more than 50 people show up for a breakfast seminar on immigration, it's a sign how much local business leaders are starting to worry about finding enough skilled workers.

Last week, the Prairie Policy Institute featured Adele Dyck, a Manitoba entrepreneur from Winkler. Her company, Star 7 International Inc., has directly and indirectly contributed about 8,000 people to Manitoba's population in the past decade.

The company has directly recruited 1,000 workers for Manitoba companies. The other 7,000 are a result of the total immigration effect when spouses, children, parents, siblings and other extended family members join the original recruit in Canada.

Dyck says the first 50 families she worked with who came from Germany almost a decade ago were ones she saw as having "strong leadership skills." They were people for whom giving up was not an option.

"You need people with skills and relatives, because without your families, people get pretty lonely," she said.
It's worked.

Of those first 50 immigrants, 42 are still in Manitoba nearly a decade later, she says.

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF MANITOBA

2004

Mr. Peter Dyck (Pembina): My comments will be more area-specific, although I certainly agree with immigration toward the total province of Manitoba. I want to relate, in just a few minutes, some of the experiences that I have had with the immigrants who have come to southern Manitoba.

So, Mr. Speaker, that is at the outset how this started. Adele Dyck, who herself was an immigrant, she immigrated a number of years ago from Paraguay, knew the experiences that new immigrants faced and some of the challenges that they had when they came to a new country.

What she did was that she, together with a group of people, people who were assisting her, established a forum and a way in which they would be able to assist the new immigrants when they came to Manitoba.

That included things like picking them up from the airport, taking them out, showing them the local area, meeting with the employers, the potential employers, and in that way also giving them the tour of the area and indicating to them some of the areas, I guess possible challenges, if you want to talk about weather challenges, but also some of the benefits of moving to this area.

Home away from home

Manitoba's ethnic communities are busy promoting the province as an immigration destination

Sun Jun 29 2003

By Ashoke Dasgupta

… Winkler had an agreement to bring in immigrants to meet their labour needs before the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) started." …

"I feel privileged to do this for people," says Star 7 owner Adele Dyck.

"Immigration can place unbearable strains on marriages, especially when one gets a reasonably good job in his or her profession while the other is, perforce, a call centre agent or security guard despite years of superior education and experience."
Dyck is "bombarded" with people wanting to immigrate to Manitoba from 30 countries including Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Russia and Sweden.

Immigrating to Canada in 1985 with her current staff, her seven children (the seven stars), Dyck hit on the idea of starting the firm when, as a member of the executive committee of the Winkler Chamber of Commerce, she became aware of a constant shortage of skilled workers.

Star 7 has brought in about 400 families over the last four years, and expects another 150 this year. …

German Mennonites fill labour shortage in Manitoba

Winnipeg, Man.-Adele Dyck has helped 26 families from Germany, of Russian Mennonite background, resettle in southern Manitoba, and more are coming. Dyck, a real estate agent in Winkler, reported on the resettlement project at a Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society meeting here on January 23.

Dyck said that another 60 families-from those who have moved to Germany from Russia in recent years-are accepted under the sponsorship program, and 85 families under the nominee program. With the backing of the town of Winkler, Dyck has worked with the federal and Manitoba governments to open the way to immigration.

"As a member of the chamber of commerce I heard that it was difficult to attract skilled persons to the community, and I knew skilled persons were waiting for a chance to immigrate," said Dyck, herself an immigrant from Paraguay, married to a Canadian.

"At first I went to (Canadian) human resources on a case-by-case basis. It was a very slow process. Then in 1996-97, with great help from our immigration department and the province, we established a relationship with the Canadian embassy in Bonn, Germany.

"With 30 applications on hand, we were at first turned down, but a few phone calls later...most of the applications were passed," she said. After the first application passed, "it seemed like a big wave was coming from Germany," said Dyck. There were 350 visitors to the Winkler area last year.


Under a four-year agreement Manitoba has with Canada, up to 200 families a year can immigrate to Manitoba to meet a demand for skilled labour.

Deutsche Facharbeiter in der Provinz sehr gefragt
Von Axel Knönagel

Winnipeg - Zu den vielen Reizen, die Kanada für Auswanderer attraktiv macht, ist ein weiterer hinzugekommen: Arbeitsplätze für Facharbeiter. Im Südosten der Prärieprovinz Manitoba ist der Mangel an qualifizierten Arbeitskräften mittlerweile so groß, daß eine Agentur Facharbeiter im Ausland anwirbt. Wie die Tageszeitung "Winnipeg Free Press" berichtet, sind vor allem Deutsche gefragt.28 deutsche Facharbeiter haben in den vergangenen beiden Jahren einen Arbeitsplatz in der Region am Fluß Pembina gefunden. In diesem Jahr sollen 40 weitere folgen. Damit wäre ein Anfang gemacht, der noch erheblich erweitert werden könnte. Das hofft jedenfalls Adele Dyck, deren in dem Ort Winkler ansässige Firma DFT International einen wesentlichen Anteil an der Anwerbung deutscher Facharbeiter hat. 150 weitere möchte sie in den kommenden beiden Jahren holen. Bislang hat sie vor allem Schweißer, Tischler, Werkzeugmacher und Autoschlosser vermittelt.Adele Dycks Projekt spiegelt ein generelles Problem der kanadischen Wirtschaft wider, den Facharbeitermangel.

Another Immigration to Canada?

by Ken Reddig

Are we witnessing what may become yet another immigration of Mennonites to North America? In September of 1997 the first families of Mennonite immigrants from Germany began arriving in southern Manitoba, specifically to the Winkler area. These immigrants, often referred to as Umsiedler or Aussiedler (labels they do not like) first emigrated from Russia to Germany in the early 1970s via family reunification programs. Now, some 20 years later, some are moving once again. Prompting this move are issues and concerns often loosely defined as freedom.

Presently they come to the Winkler area, because of the preparatory work of a local resident, Adele Dyck. Adele is also an immigrant to Canada. She and her family (husband and seven children) emigrated from Paraguay in 1985.


Working with employers in the Winkler area, Adele began securing job offers and matching them with potential immigrants. She facilitates and completes the necessary applications for immigration status.

As of the end of January 1999, over 500 potential Mennonite immigrants have visited the Winkler area to check out immigration possibilities. Already some 150 people have immigrated and many more are scheduled to immigrate this spring and summer when their children finish the current German school term. Adele says there will be a large group of Mennonite immigrants to the Winkler area between April and July of 1999.


Will this small beginning turn into a major tide of immigration? It is too early to tell. But Adele certainly thinks it will. She notes that there are thousands of Mennonite immigrants in Germany willing to make the move to Canada. And while southern Manitoba has received the first trickle, other Mennonite communities throughout Canada will certainly be recipients of many more of these immigrants in years to come.
