After Cris Quejada became a permanent resident of Canada, she knew she needed a Canadian diploma to start a successful career here in Ottawa.
She did her research, figured out which business jobs had strong demand, and decided accounting and payroll was the right choice.

Going back to school and starting a brand new career isn't easy. We interviewed Cris this week to find out what the process was like for her.
