Canadian Context: Couldn T and Language Barrier

canadian context: Over the past month, Malli has been getting some assistance bridging that divide from an Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia program that helps him translate his skills as a mechanic to the Canadian context, according to CBC. The Bridge to Work program connects newcomers who are trained in a trade with employers who need their skills, linking the two through on-site language classes and interpreters. But since he arrived in Nova Scotia in January, the language barrier was one problem that Malli, who is originally from Syria and most recently lived in Jordan, couldn't fix on his own. Adjusting to a new context For Malli, this has meant an assessment placement at Mac Phee Ford in Dartmouth, where he — along with three other mechanics, from Eritrea, Democratic Republic of Congo and Syria — will eventually undergo apprenticeships towards their red seal certifications. He was accustomed to working on Japanese cars in Syria, and had never worked on American vehicles before starting at Mac Phee. There are differences, Malli said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
