Current role
Student at ITD combining English and specialized web coursework (as of interview: arrived Oct 2014; Able English ~1 month; ITD English Nov–Dec; then English + specialty from January).

Path to Canada / North America

Motivated by a workplace moment where no one could take an English call.
