Recently established norms provide for priority processing of study-permits for international students, who have summited a complete application online, before September 15.

Previously, IRCC is also enabling students to begin their Canadian studies online while they are still abroad and having that time count towards their Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility so long as they have submitted a study permit application and if at least 50 per cent of the program is completed in Canada.

West Indies skipper Jason Holder has won the toss and decided to bowl first in the second test match of the series. West Indies made no changes in their playing 11 while England made 3 changes. As expected skipper Joe Root comes back for Joe Denly, Sam Curran for James Anderson but a surprise entry of Chris Woakes in place of Jofra Archer is the talking point.

Jofra Archer breached the team’s biosecure protocols


Pacer Jofra Archer dropped from the side and they made the announcement just a few hours before the commencement of the match. Archer breached the team’s biosecure protocols. ECB confirmed that after the Southampton Test, he went home when players asked to travel Manchester directly without messing around anywhere else. Archer was caught and he is now in isolation for the next 5 days. In meanwhile he will also undergo 2 Covid-19 tests. If he is tested negative in both the tests then the self-isolation period will be lifted. ECB also confirmed that they informed West Indies team management about the entire incident and now the hosts are pleased with the measures taken.


“I am extremely sorry for what I have done, I have put, not only myself but the whole team and management in danger, I fully accept the consequence of my actions and I want to apologize to everyone in the bio-secure bubble. It deeply pains me to be missing the Test match, especially with the series poised. I feel like I have let both teams down, and again I am sorry”, said the English pacer.

West Indies to eye on the series victory

West Indies are on top of England and now they eyed on the series victory. The match was delayed for two hours because of rain and now the surface is much helpful to the fast bowlers than earlier. It was a good toss to win for the visitors and the kind of fast bowling attack Jason’s brigade comprises could make a huge difference in the result of this series as well. With the return of the regular captain Joe Root, hosts are confident about their batting strength. In the end, it’s going to be a good competition for cricket.

She made her acting debut with Boom in 2003 and hasn’t looked back since then. Even after not being able to speak Hindi properly, Katrina managed to woo Indian audience with her grace and beauty.

From Zara Zara Touch me to Sheila Ki Jawani, she has blessed Bollywood with many iconic dance songs which prove she is a rare talent.

Kamli from Dhoom 3 is one of the best performances by Katrina. With her flexibility, Katrina solely owned the song which has over 350 million views on YouTube. From her sartorial choices to her facial expression, everything made an impact as she danced.

Sheila Ki Jawani:

If Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan gave us anything worth mentioning, it’s Sheila Ki Jawani. Many item numbers will come and go, but Sheila ki Jawani will always be special for Katrina’s superlative dancing and charismatic on-screen presence.

Chikni Chameli:

Chikni Chameli broke nearly every record set in the history of chart busters. Apart from its catch lyrics, the song featured Katrina and her belly that had the potential to make anyone dance to toe. The vibrant energy of the song can still give chills to anyone watching Katrina nailing those moves swiftly.

Bang Bang Title Track:

No one, I repeat no one, except Katrina could have matched Hrithik’s pace in the title track of Bang Bang. The stunning duo made every jaw drop with their swift moves and edgy swag.

Khwab Dekhe:

Khwab Dekhe from Race saw Katrina in a seductive avatar wherein she owned every beat. With her dancing lends, she added never seen before glamour to a dance song. And we can’t still get over her sensational form.

Nepali citizens are unhappy on PM Oli comment on Ram.

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on July 13 claim that real Ayodhya is in Nepal not in India.

He also stated that lord Ram was born in Thori in South in Nepal.

He said that at an event on the birth anniversary of Nepal poet Bhanubhakta at PM residence in Kathmandu. Bhanubhakta was the poet who translated Ramayana from Sanskrit to Nepali language.

PM Oli said ” Nepal has become a victim of culture encroachment and its history has been manipulated”

Now a day after his statement, Nepal foreign minister issued a clarification saying that he didn’t want to hurt sentiment and his words were a call for further research into Ramayan culture geography.

“If Janakpur was here and Ayodhya was there [ in India], how would one know that there was a princess eligible for marriage. There was neither telephone, nor mobile phone. It was just impossible to know about the match,” Oli said

“Although the real Ayodhya lies at Thori in the west of Birgunj, India has claimed the Indian site as the birthplace of Lord Ram,” Mr. Oli said.

“We also believe that deity Sita got married to Prince Ram of India. Actually, Ayodhya is a village lying west of Birgunj,” he said, adding that the marriage between bride and bridegroom at such a distance was not possible at the time when there was no communication and transportation system.

“The place called Thori, near Birgunj is the real Ayodhya, where Lord Ram was born. In India there is great dispute on Ayodhya. But, there is no dispute in our Ayodhya,” Prime Minister Oli was quoted as saying by his press advisor Surya Thapa.

Former Nepal PM Baburam Bhattarai had tweeted yesterday to suggest that Oli’s claim was outlandish. “Let’s listen to the new Ramayana of the half-poet Olikrit Kali Yugin! Let’s travel directly to Baikunthadham!”

While Nepal has been calling for high-level talks on resolving the territorial disputes in two sections of the border, New Delhi has asserted that it will be ready for discussion only after the coronavirus pandemic is over.

“It is extremely draining for all of us,” she said.
