Impact Story
It was a struggle when Behnaz moved to Canada from Iran in March of 2024.
“I really didn’t know where to start,” she says. “I was lost.”
“I wanted to become a part of society, but as a newcomer, everything seemed different compared to what I was used to at home.”
Behnaz contacted various agencies for help and says TIES was one of the very first to respond. Among the courses TIES offered, Behnaz says EST was the closest to what she wanted to achieve for her career.
She adds not only did the course “greatly” help her, so did her teacher, Juanito Gegajo. “His sense of empathy and kind manner were a great aid,” she says.
“The topics he discussed in class helped calm and focus my thoughts. He really helped me to find myself. He really helped me to find my abilities.”
Those abilities are now being showcased at TIES. Behnaz is a LINC (Language Instruction for Canadian Newcomers) instructor, helping others find their path in Canada.
