Success story From passing IELTS to moving to Canada
It’s time for Chapter 2: Success story From passing IELTS to moving to Canada!
This time we’re talking about moving to Canada instead of Australia from Russia with a fantastic guest, Anna.
Anna moved to Canada in 2019 through Express Entry. It was a long way, starting in her early years in University and lasting through getting Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Petroleum Engineering. Anna accumulated several years of experience and spent hours learning English in order to gain the right amount of points for immigration. It was all worth it!
Check out Anna's YouTube where Anna shares her experience and tells inspiring stories for newcomers: https://youtube.com/c/MakeThatChange
