When I first came to Canada, I knew that continuing my education would be an important step in building a stable future for my family and myself. Even though I already had work experience, I quickly realized that completing my Canadian high school equivalency would open more doors professionally and personally. That is what led me to reach out to BSLN. From the beginning, the staff made me feel welcomed, supported, and confident that I could succeed, even while balancing work and family responsibilities. 

My time at BSLN was both challenging and rewarding. The learning environment was supportive and flexible, which made a huge difference for me as a working newcomer. I was encouraged every step of the way, and I always felt that my efforts mattered. Completing my CAEC required discipline and commitment, but the guidance and encouragement I received helped me stay motivated and focused on my goal.

Throughout the process, I felt proud of myself for pushing forward, especially during moments when balancing studies, work, and family felt overwhelming. Achieving my CAEC was not just about earning a certificate, it was about proving to myself that I could adapt, grow, and succeed in a new country. That sense of accomplishment gave me confidence in my abilities and in my future here in Canada.

Now that I have completed my CAEC, I am continuing to pursue further education and career opportunities that allow me to support my family and contribute meaningfully to my community. I believe BSLN is an excellent option for newcomers who may not yet have permanent residency but want to keep moving forward while working in Canada. My experience shows that with the right support, determination, and guidance, it is absolutely possible to achieve your goals.
