Recently, the following request appeared in the “Access to Trades and Professions” discussion:

“good morning to any one may read this message, i just want to inquire about something that i found so confusing, we are applying for immigration to canada, and my husband is the dependent immigrant, but his job is a regulated one, (he is an anesthesia & inhalation technician) the canadian terminology for his job is respiratory technician, any way it is so difficult to find out the address of the regulatory body, concerning his job, who to contact, we went to the embassy to get information, they gave us so many addresses, from the almanac & directory, it is really confusing, so till now one year has passed and we are still asking, do have any address that we can contact, by the way we are from lebanon, but we are living and working both me & my husband in kuwait, sorry for sending this message here but i thought that may be someone out there would advice me of what should i do, thank you any way.”

The influence of sexual orientation on academic and career choices is an area which has only recently received notice.
