“I came to Canada five years ago, with no English, and after a few months, learning the basics, I started taking classes with Danijela. At the time, I intended to go to university and return to Brazil when I finished. I went to university, but when I finished my studies, I did not want to go back. Today, I have a good job and I have been invited to stay in Canada as the Permanent Resident. The skills I learned in Danijela’s classes helped me to pass the TOFEL test and get into Douglas College, to maximize my points in my PR application when I took the CELPIP exam, and to communicate efficiently at work.”
