Carolina: An AICLF Success Story

My name is Carolina Feican, I came to Canada back in 2017. Before moving to NB I had just finished my Bachelor's degree in International Studies.

I started working for a settlement agency that helped newcomers with their linguistic and sociocultural integration.

Through the settlement agency I was working for.

I knew I wanted to build a career in immigration since I wrote my undergraduate thesis about this topic. Then, thanks to the job experience I acquired working at the settlement agency, I realized that helping people navigate their immigration process was something I could really enjoy doing. At the time, there was an Immigration Law Certificate at the University of British Columbia that I really wanted to pursue, however, I was still short in funds to pay for my education. That is when the AICLF came in handy.

I finished my certificate and currently I am working towards obtaining my license to become an immigration consultant. The AICLF allowed me to obtain the education I needed in order to find job opportunities in the legal immigration services field. Since 2019 I have been working as an immigration consultant assistant and I am really learning a lot about this area.

It is a great opportunity for people to move forward with their academic plans and reconnect back with their careers.

Investing in education in Canada is never a waste and it can open many doors in the future. It is a sacrifice to start all over again but it can be very worth it and pay off with time.
