Having attended the University of Helsinki, Bjorn completed a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Biology, as well as a B.Sc. in Chemistry, which he then put towards a career in pharmaceutical research. Besides being completely fluent in his home language (Finnish), Bjorn also has high proficiency in the English language and has been learning French, but he only has basic proficiency. Case Study 2: LI Li Na, her name meaning beautiful and graceful, is a young 20-year-old woman. Having spent all her life in China, Li is at a point in her life when she wants to go abroad and try something new before she settles down and gets married and starts a family. Canada has always been appealing to her, particularly Toronto. Li’s first and only language is Chinese, but she has been trying to learn English through an ESL program and she has moderate proficiency. Li’s schooling consists of a High School Diploma, where she then began to work as a full-time receptionist at her uncle’s dental office.
