Got you — here’s the corrected direct message, with the right explanation about who referred you:
Hi, my name is Mar. I’m 18 (turning 19 on March 7) and I’m looking for help with continuing my education in Ontario.
I finished Grade 11 in the Philippines and studied briefly in Quebec before moving here. My student visa expired, but my study permit extension is now in process.
The Executive Assistant to the Superintendent of Business (from Near North District School Board) gave me your information and advised me to reach out for support.
I also have one baby, so it’s very important for me to get back into school and continue my plans.
My dad is currently waiting for his LMIA, but he’s unemployed right now, so our situation is complicated.
I’m hoping you can help me understand:
• how I can enroll in Grade 12
• what documents I need
• any programs or resources for students in my situation
• what I should do while my study permit is still being processed
Thank you, I really appreciate any help you can give.
