Audio Glossary

  • PR - Permanent Residency
  • IELTS - International English Language Testing System. It is an international standardized test of English language proficiency for non-native English language speakers
  • eCOPR - Confirmation of Permanent Residency
  • SIN Number - A social insurance number is a number issued in Canada to administer various government programs
  • Paani - Paani means "Water" in the Hindi language. (Context: The tea served at local coffee shops is mostly Paani)
  • Harmonium - Harmonium is a stringed instrument made of wood, metal, brass, and cloth. A kind of a portable wooden box, it was originated in West Bengal. The harmonium has thus become an integral part of Indian Music. It is extensively used to accompany folk, classical, Sufi, and ghazal compositions for both music and dance. (Very similar to a Reed Organ)
