"I was trained as an air conditioning technician in my home country of Iran. When I immigrated to Canada I looked for another career in Vancouver. Since it seemed hard to find a job as an air conditioning tech in the winter here in Vancouver  I discovered that home appliance servicing was a much better match for me. I received the necessary extra at at Kwantlen College."
