Training to become an immigration consultant: the beginning
July is coming to an end, along with the busiest stretch of work this summer. This week alone, four students went to take their exams. We’ve been waiting for several results since June, and I still haven’t had time to share a couple of success stories. I’ll need to put that right in August.
Today, on a day off, I woke up for the first time with the thought that I don’t need to go to an exam, or check texts, or respond in instant messengers. I get used to the ringing silence and try NOT to move by inertia.
Many exam centers are on vacation, and I am also temporarily slowing down until September. And there my studies await me. It’s still hard to believe that after graduate school I decided to gnaw on the granite of science again, but it’s true: I entered the University of Montreal to study law.
My work has long since moved from teaching French to providing pro bono assistance in immigration matters. It's time to deepen your knowledge in this area, learn more about immigration to Canada and Quebec and become a consultant.
I have 50 hours of studying a week, late in the evenings, every day, and work in the morning and afternoon. So far this combination seems very difficult and energy-consuming. I try to breathe deeply and stay calm to avoid panic attacks. I hope that I will have enough time to share my impressions about this difficult stage of my life.
