The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) is one of the sub-divisions of The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. It hears cases on refugee claims and determines whether the applicants appearing before it are those who require protection or are the ones who are convention refugees.
Here is a quick difference between people who are “Convention refugees” and those who are in “need of protection”:
Convention refugees is the term given to those who have left their country of origin and are draped with a fear of banishment or ill-treatment based on their religion/ nationality/ race/ their political views or association with any social group.
Persons in need of protection are the ones who have a threat of torture, face risk to their life or a threat of cruel treatment after they are removed from their country of origin. (Here, the risk must be personal and exist throughout the nation; the rust should not arrive from any lawful judgment; the risk may not be caused due to nation’s inability to offer ample healthcare measures)
How to make the claim?
The first step is to notify an Immigration officer. From there, your claim would be sent to RPD.
The claimant needs to provide evidence in support of the case and prove that the claim meets the requirements for being eligible for Refugee Protection Division.
After clearing the eligibility, applicant would be informed about the hearing, between which, the applicant has to fill the Personal Information Form.

Tracing the location suitability for mining, gas, oil and civil engineering projects is a huge task in itself and requires special expertise and knowledge. This task is levied onto the shoulders of the geological engineers who conduct geotechnical and geological studies of different locations along with planning, development, designing and supervision of geological analysis and data acquisition programs. These engineers also undertake the task of preparing geological engineering recommendations and reports.
Given below are a few major duties that you must be able to fulfill in order to qualify for the occupation of “geological engineers” of the NOC (National Classification Occupation) List for Canada:
Planning, development and coordinating geophysical, geological, geohydrological or geotechnical data analysis, mapping and acquisition to help in the growth of regional development or petroleum, waste management, civil engineering and mining projects
Analyzing and preparing reports and recommendations so as to improve foundations on which projects of civil engineering projects are based, like hydraulic channel erosion control, pressure grouting and rock excavation or for the purpose of construction
Preparing and analyzing reports and recommendations after the settlement of fills, slopes stability and buildings and after taking into consideration the possible effects of earthquakes and landslides to support civil engineering and construction projects
Conducting applied and theoretical study of contamination and groundwater flow and developing prescriptions for site treatment, construction and selection
Planning, development, coordination and conducting experimental and theoretical studies for mine evaluation, mining exploration and other feasible studies related to the mining industry
Conducting studies and surveys of ore reserve calculations, mine design and ore deposits
Designing, development and implementations of computer-related applications for geochemistry, mapping, geology, geophysics and other such fields
Supervising technicians, technologists and other scientists and engineers
Merely fulfilling these duties is not enough, there are a few employment requirements as well that you must comply with, in order to be accepted under this NOC List occupation. Employment requirements for this occupation are given below:
