“I immigrated to Canada in 2017. During the last seven years, Maryam Moghaddam, Settlement Counsellor at University Settlement has helped me improve my overall life in Canada including social, educational, and employment levels. My family and I received support in preparing for the Citizenship test to become Canadian citizens.

University Settlement has been a turning point and landmark in my life. After I met with the counsellor, I planned to study and finally found my dream career in the Toronto Police Service as a crime researcher and analyst. I was given the right advice to choose the best educational paths to obtain my current employment.

Obtaining a degree in Police Foundation and Crime and Intelligence Analysis prepares graduates for jobs in several fields, including policing and justice administration. I am so happy to know of University Settlement and the staff there who have helped me get closer to my career goals and provide me with social stability. I appreciate the incredible work done to help me lead a better and easier life in Canada.”
