WWICS to hold mega immigration seminars across Punjab and Chandigarh on October 10-11

Leave a comment

Chandigarh, October 8, 2026: Canada is emerging as an attractive destination for prospective immigrants, with growing opportunities beyond the country’s major metropolitan centres and increasing focus on regional labour-market requirements, said Lt Col BS Sandhu (Retd.), Chairman & Managing Director, WWICS Group, at a press conference here today.

Lt Col Sandhu informed that to provide prospective immigrants with a clearer understanding of the evolving global immigration landscape, WWICS will organise mega immigration seminars on October 10 in Amritsar at Hotel Best Western Merrion from 11 am to 1 pm; in Jalandhar at Ramada by Wyndham from 3 pm to 5 pm; and in Ludhiana at Hotel Park Plaza from 5 pm to 8 pm. In Chandigarh, the seminar will be held on October 11 from 11 am to 3 pm at Hotel Aroma.

Lt Col Sandhu added, “Canada is emerging as an attractive immigration destination amid renewed focus on regional opportunities.”

“Canada offers a very different proposition beyond its major metropolitan centres. Provinces such as Saskatchewan have vast land resources, a relatively small population and genuine requirements for skilled workers. This makes regional Canada an important opportunity for prospective immigrants who meet the eligibility requirements,” Sandhu said.

He said that after a period of moderation, interest in immigration to Canada and other major destinations was beginning to pick up. He added that the government led by PM Mark Carney was continuing to position immigration around Canada’s economic and labour-market requirements.

“Immigration opportunities continue to exist for well-qualified and well-prepared applicants. It is just that applicants must prioritise eligibility and compliance,” Sandhu said.

Lt Col Sandhu said the seminars being planned would cover immigration and resettlement opportunities across Canada, Australia, the USA, the UK, Europe and New Zealand, with a focus on eligibility, application processes, documentation, timelines and changing immigration policies. The sessions will cater to skilled professionals, businesspersons, investors and students.

Amit Khanna, Vice President, WWICS Group, who was also present at the press conference, said that immigration was increasingly becoming skill-driven and selective across major destinations.

“Immigration today is no longer about simply choosing a country and applying. It is about understanding where an applicant genuinely qualifies, assessing the requirements and following the most appropriate lawful pathway. Our approach is clear: Eligibility First, Application Second,” he said.

Khanna said Canada continued to offer opportunities in areas including healthcare and social services, STEM, skilled trades, education and transport, besides pathways linked to French-language proficiency and other specialised skills.

Khanna while talking about immigration in countries other than Canada said that Australia’s skilled migration programme continued to provide opportunities for eligible professionals, while New Zealand had introduced changes to its Skilled Migrant Category. The USA continued to have investment-based immigration options such as EB-5 for qualifying investors, while the UK had moved towards a more selective skilled-worker system.

“An immigration application should begin with a realistic assessment of an applicant’s profile rather than with a promise of a particular outcome. The right advice can help applicants avoid unnecessary delays, costs and risks,” said Col Sandhu in conclusion.

It is noteworthy that WWICS, founded in Toronto, Canada, on October 23, 1993, has completed more than three decades in the immigration sector and has assisted over five lakh families in pursuing opportunities in Canada, Australia and other destinations.

We first ran the programme at select centres, and the results in JEE 2026 have been remarkable. Today, we are bringing Aakash INVICTUS to every student at every Aakash branch in India, starting with our existing students. We believe this system will help our students achieve their best possible ranks in JEE Advanced, JEE Main, BITSAT and state engineering exams, and we are confident that JEE 2027 and 2028 will be the best results in the history of Aakash.”

The unique aspects of INVICTUS include an Outcome-Focused Academic Approach, where every class, practice session and revision cycle is aligned to improving performance in competitive examinations; a Rank-Proven Faculty Team with extensive experience in preparing students for JEE and other engineering entrance examinations; Scientifically Designed & Research-Backed Study Material, rewritten by the academic team using learning science and detailed research into examination patterns to take students from fundamental concepts to advanced problems; Intelligent Testing & Deep Analysis, with a redesigned testing mechanism focused on the frequency, depth and rigour of assessments and providing students with a clear understanding of their strengths and learning gaps; a Transparent Growth Map that enables students and parents to track progress and understand the pathway towards their academic goals; and Mentorship & an Ecosystem Beyond the Classroom, encompassing JoSAA counselling guidance, doubt support and personalised academic guidance to help students stay on track throughout their preparation.

As part of the national launch, Aakash INVICTUS also introduces four focused batches — Ace, Achiever, Accelerator and Apex.

Aagman Bhatia an Entrepreneur With Roots in Mohali Develops Oora.ai – An  AI-Based Property Research Platform 

Leave a comment

Mohali, October 4, 2026: What if the first step in buying a property was not calling a broker, but asking AI to research the property for you? That is the vision behind Oora.ai , a path breaking AI offering created by 24-year old Mohali based entrepreneur Aagman Bhatia. Unveiled under the banner of Dooritt- a unique AI & VR powered real estate platform, Oora.ai  is positioned as an AI-powered marketplace and research platform for real estate.

According to Aagman Bhatia, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Dooritt, “Oora.ai  aims to replace a prospective property buyer’s first call to a broker. Our vision is that customers should research first and then approach brokers or builders. Oora.ai  can bring together fragmented property information and help buyers ask the right questions before making a major investment. In the next two to three years, we believe AI-based property research can become a normal first step before buying or investing in real estate.”

Oora.ai  showcases  information on properties, builders, amenities, RERA details, unit availability and project parameters, while also offering project reports and builder ratings.

Aagman Bhatia added, “We see an opportunity to change real-estate from a broker first to a research-first industry. Brokers and sales teams will continue to have an important role in transactions, but customers will increasingly want to understand the facts, compare opportunities and do their initial research through AI before making that first call.”

Aagman revealed that Oora.ai  is also being developed to help commercial property buyers assess the potential of a location for their business. An entrepreneur looking to buy a shop for a restaurant, for example, could go beyond checking availability and ask whether the location has the potential to support the business.

“Commercial real estate requires a different kind of intelligence because the question is not merely whether a property is available, but whether the location can support the intended business,” Aagman said.

“We are working towards making AI capable of helping customers evaluate these factors before they commit significant capital,” Aagman added.

Oora.ai  has recorded significant user activity in recent months. Dooritt said its platforms received 2 lakh visitors in September, reflecting growing interest in technology-led property research.

“We at Dooritt are also developing Business to Business(B2B) and Business to Government(B2G) intelligence platforms for builders and governments. These platforms are intended to use AI and data to identify emerging real-estate and infrastructure requirements. These are planned for launch this month.”

Reflecting on the versatility of Oora.ai, KS Bhatia, CEO, Dooritt, said that Dooritt is currently witnessing around 7,000 visitors daily, with at least 2,000 customers every day directly accessing Oora.ai  through the Dooritt website.

“These customers are not just visiting Oora.ai, they are actively using the platform to verify builders, study project details and understand the property before making a buying decision,” revealed KS Bhatia, who personally takes care of Dooritt.

“We are seeing a significant shift in how customers research properties. Oora.ai  is becoming an important part of that journey by providing customers with detailed information before they commit their money,” he said.

According to Bhatia, at the beginning of October, Dooritt, a Punjab grown start-up also signed approximately Rs 1,500 crore worth of exclusive property inventory from Noida alone, further strengthening its presence in India’s real-estate market.

“The future of real estate will not only be about selling properties. It will be about giving customers the right information before they buy,” he said.

Paddy and Bajra Not Being Procured in Mandis; Farmers Distressed: Hooda

Leave a comment

Rohtak, September 27

Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has demanded the immediate commencement of paddy procurement. He said while the arrival of paddy and Bajra is in full swing at the mandis, the failure to start government procurement is forcing farmers to sell their crops at rates up to ₹400 per quintal lower than expected
“Farmers are being deprived not only of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) but also of basic amenities in the mandis.

The government has not made proper arrangements for storing the crop, no weighing scales, and no provisions made for lifting or handling the produce. To make matters worse, the government has once again imposed limits, forcing farmers to endure long waits,” he said.
Hooda addressed the public today in the villages of Nandal, Chiri, Katwara, Khidwali, Ghuskani, Jindran, and Titauli in his constituency. Upon his arrival, people accorded him a rousing welcome and pledged their full support for the upcoming struggle against the BJP. Hooda expressed his gratitude to everyone and affirmed that this struggle would certainly yield results.
Speaking on the occasion, Hooda noted that the BJP had come to power promising farmers a rate of ₹3,100 per quintal for paddy. Yet today, farmers’ paddy is being sold in the mandis at rates even lower than the MSP, as the government has neither initiated procurement nor honored its election pledge.

He asserted that the BJP ascended to power by making false promises and stealing votes. “This is precisely why the government has completely lost the public’s confidence. Today, every section of society in the state is disillusioned with this government and is taking to the streets to fight for their rights,” he stated.
“Farmers are agitating for MSP, the youth for employment, women for safety, employees for the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), contract workers for job security, and athletes for dignity and respect. However, the BJP, blinded by the arrogance of power, is ignoring them all,” he added.

Leave a comment

Chandigarh, September 27- Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday flagged off the ‘Drug-Free Haryana Faridabad Namo Marathon-2026’ from the historic Surajkund, with more than 1.35 lakh people participating in the mega event and raising a collective voice against drugs.

Addressing the participants, the Chief Minister said, “A resounding voice against drugs has risen from the land of Faridabad through the Namo Marathon today.” He said that the steps taken forward in the marathon were not merely a run on the roads, but were carrying forward Haryana’s collective consciousness and resolve against drugs.

More than 1.35 lakh people registered for the grand marathon organised in Faridabad, and almost all the registered participants reached the venue to take part in the event. The massive participation transformed Surajkund into a magnificent reflection of the collective resolve for a drug-free society. Since early morning, the enthusiasm of youth, women, senior citizens, sportspersons, students and people from different sections of society was clearly visible at the venue.

The event went beyond a marathon and emerged as a broad public message of de-addiction, fitness, healthy lifestyle, youth power, social unity and nation-building. A large number of young people participated in the marathon with great enthusiasm, conveying the message of staying away from drugs and channelising their energy in a positive direction. The notable participation of women and senior citizens further underlined that the fight against drugs is not the resolve of any one section, but a shared commitment of the entire society.

*Different Distances, One Destination—Drug-Free Haryana*

Participants took part in different categories of the marathon covering 21 kilometres, 10 kilometres and 5 kilometres. The distance was different, the pace varied and the participants belonged to different age groups, but the destination was the same for everyone—Drug-Free Haryana.

The Chief Minister showered flower petals on the participants and encouraged them. He said that Haryana’s identity is defined by hard work, medals and valour. The youth of Haryana are known not for drugs, but for their hard work, talent and dedication towards their goals. He called upon the youth to firmly say ‘No’ to drugs.

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that drugs not only weaken the body, but also snatch away dreams, affect families and hollow out society. He called upon the youth to channelise their energy and talent not into drugs, but into sports, education, skills, employment, innovation and nation-building.

*Surajkund Echoes with Chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’*

During the marathon, the Surajkund complex was imbued with a strong spirit of patriotism and social resolve. The entire atmosphere echoed with chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. The countless steps moving forward together conveyed the message of a healthy society, drug-free youth and a strong nation.

The Chief Minister said that the day’s run was not merely a race to move forward on the road, but a run to advance social awareness against drugs. He extended his greetings to every runner, sportsperson, student, daughter and volunteer participating in the event.

*Chief Minister Administers Pledge for a Drug-Free Society*

During the programme, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini administered a pledge to the large number of participants present, urging them to stay away from drugs and play their role in building a drug-free society. The participants pledged that they would themselves stay away from drugs and also motivate their family members, friends and other people in society to stay away from drugs.

The collective pledge transformed the Namo Marathon from merely a sporting event into a major campaign for social change and public awareness.

The Chief Minister said that the fight against drugs is not the responsibility of the government or the police alone. It is a collective fight involving every household, every school and every village. He urged parents and teachers to maintain open and regular communication with children.

*Call to Transform Youth Energy into the Power of Nation-Building*

The Chief Minister said that youth is the greatest strength of any nation. Therefore, it is essential to protect youth power from the grip of drugs and channelise their energy towards nation-building. He called upon young people to take up sports, adopt a healthy lifestyle and work hard to achieve their goals.

He said that the youth of Haryana have always brought glory to the State and the country on the sporting field. If the State’s youth power remains away from drugs and channels its energy into positive activities, Haryana will achieve new heights of development.

*Message of Fitness and Healthy Lifestyle Also Delivered*

The Faridabad Namo Marathon delivered a strong message of fitness and healthy lifestyle along with the message of de-addiction. The participation of people from different age groups demonstrated that age is no barrier to living a healthy life.

The enthusiasm of youth, participation of women and active involvement of senior citizens emerged as special features of the event. Through the marathon, people conveyed the message of adopting regular exercise, physical activity and a positive lifestyle.

*De-Addiction Message Linked with Seva Sankalp Abhiyan*

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that the inspiration for service and resolve comes from Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi. To mark the completion of 25 years of Prime Minister’s public service, the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ is being organised from September 17 to October 17. As part of this campaign, the message of the ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan’ is being taken to the people. The Faridabad Namo Marathon is a strong link in this chain of service, resolve and social awareness.

He said that the message of de-addiction is being taken to every district and village of the State through ‘Haryana Uday’. If any family requires assistance related to drug addiction, it should not hesitate to seek help. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of courage.

*Participation of Over 1.35 Lakh People Creates a New Chapter of Collective Resolve*

The registration of more than 1.35 lakh people for the Faridabad Namo Marathon, with almost all registered participants reaching the venue, became a testimony to the enthusiasm and widespread public participation in the event.

The coming together of such a large number of people with a common objective was the most significant feature of the marathon. Every participant moved forward carrying three clear messages: distance from drugs, proximity to health and participation in nation-building.

The event brought sports, fitness, social awareness and public participation together on one platform and helped take the message of de-addiction to a wider section of society.

*Faridabad Namo Marathon Emerges as an Event with Notable Public Participation at the National Level*

The Chief Minister said that the manner in which every section of society participated in the Faridabad Namo Marathon was special in itself. More than 1.35 lakh registrations, near-complete participation, a large presence of youth, and enthusiastic participation by women and senior citizens have made the event notable for its wide public participation.

He said that the marathon is not merely a one-day event, but the message emerging from it will continue to inspire society in the times to come to stay away from drugs, adopt a healthy lifestyle and contribute to nation-building.

*Resolve to Move from a Drug-Free Haryana towards a Developed India*

The Chief Minister said that the resolve for a Drug-Free Haryana is not limited merely to giving up drugs. Its broader objective is to make the youth healthy, educated, capable, self-reliant and responsible citizens. When the youth of the State remain healthy and channelise their energy into constructive activities, it will strengthen the goal of a Developed India.

He said that protecting youth power from drugs and connecting it with sports, education, skills, employment and nation-building is a priority responsibility of both the government and society.

Calling for a collective resolve, the Chief Minister said, “We will neither consume drugs ourselves nor allow anyone else to do so. We will channel the energy of our youth not into drugs, but into nation-building. A drug-free Haryana is our resolve, a healthy Haryana is our identity, and a developed India is our goal.”

The Chief Minister said that the real success of the event would be when the voice for de-addiction raised from Faridabad reaches every district, every village and every household of Haryana. ‘Nasha nahi, ab sapnon ka ujala hoga—Hamara Haryana, Nashamukt Haryana hoga’, he said.

*Prashant Chaudhary Wins Men’s 21.1-Km Event; Vikram Singh Finishes First Runner-Up*
