I'm not quite sure about the policies, but I remember the NPO can use the funds collected by donation for investment and the profit is tax deductable.

Contractor is one of the best choiceContractor is one of the best choice, provided you are good in English.
My opinions:
First priority is still try to find another job. Usually you can get one in one or two months. You can't live on donations (seriously). You can't depend on the government's assistance
Other option:
* teach computer courses in some computer schools
* Find some friends to form a consulting company and start your own business.
* back to school

u must misunderstand somethingOur suggestion is about Sailor with Rolia;
1. Those donation is for Rolia Community not for Sailor;
2. Rolia community will get some fund from government not sailor depanding on Government; Don't u see lots of communities are still getting funds from government now.
3. Sailor will be the CEO of the Rolia community;
4. He will be a self-employee and never be laid off

Contractor is not a good choice for a programmer at this moment1. Don't u see any company related to "e-xxx" has been getting shrinked since last year;
2. The economic situation now is really bad for contractor ;
3. It's really hard for consulating company to get contract;
4......

If we Chinese people can do this kind of thing. That would be the time for we Chinese to be strong enough to live in this country.

This is a great idea. Some of the workshops that teach people how to look for job may be sponsored by this fund. I remember yesterday's Totonto Star says the provincial government is going to spend more money to help new immigrants.

For Not-for-profit organizations who may apply to be a service provider of ISAP program, they should have been in existence for at least two years.

Dont give up so easily, should does not mean must. There are always excepstions to should. If you compare the requirement of educational institutions, you may notice that the wording is different.
