As amiddle-aged man of 42 years, I have studied both French and English, and recently I successfully passed the TC Canada exam as well as the IELTS English test. These achievements have provided me with the language skills necessary to fuly engage with Canadian society, both professionally and socially.Although I have not yet been to Canada, I have learned about Ontario's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty through many books and documentaries. Furthermore, I am confident in my ability to prosper in Ontario and add value to the province. Through my combination of language skills, professional experience and cultural sensitivity, I am eager to make a meaningful contribution to the vibrant and dynamic culture of this great province. I also deeply believe that my children, two lovely angelic girls, can grow up to be healthy, active and responsible citizens in this free, democratic and pluralistic society.
