Newcomer To Canada
I am looking for some advice and options for my cousin who, while not exactly a newcomer to Canada, has no formal education here. She has been here a few years and taken some ESL classes, but mostly worked odd jobs. She had a steady retail job for a while but got laid off, and it was after this that she was informed of Second Career.
We looked at some programs at Seneca but the pre-requisites look like they might be a problem since she didn't attend any high school here. Even some programs that only require English (or English equivalency), I looked at the practice English Assessment Test on their website and I am not sure she would do too well on it. Even if they still grant her admission into a program, I don't want her to struggle afterwards.
From the ESL classes she has been taking, she is at about a level 5 or 6. Her math and science is also at a very, very basic level. I saw that Seneca has an Academic Upgrading program, but that requires a level 7. I am looking for some suggestions on options. Should she continue taking the ESL classes she is taking, or is there a way she could accelerate this?
