Impact Story
Josseline landed in Canada from Guatemala on May 17, 2021 as a family-sponsored immigrant. However, due to the limited education (7 years) she had in her native country and limited English, it was very hard for her to start a new life in Canada. She was a very determined student, and she set a goal to work as an early childhood teacher in the future. Josseline started in the LINC Literacy program in the summer of 2021. With her continued perseverance and relentless help from the LINC instructors, she advanced quickly. Now, she is working on her Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) 2/3. Besides LINC classes, Jossline also helps her mother with her work afterschool. She feels very appreciative for what the LINC program has done for her. As a result, her confidence soared. The LINC program enabled Josseline to understand Canadian society and love her new home. More importantly, it has made her life easier and set her on a path towards her future career.
When I started LINC class here at TIES, my English was zero. Now I can do a lot of things with the help of LINC. I can use a computer, a smartphone, use an ATM and make an appointment with a doctor. The instructors at TIES are really nice.
