昨天晚上在线申请的，今天早上就给答复了，如下：

•              Thank you for your interest in the Engineering Software Skills Enhancement (ESSE) Program. The program is offered for Civil, Electrical and Mechanical engineers who are newcomers to Canada. The program is 22 weeks over two semesters and is part time. Classes usually run in the evenings from Monday to Thursday, and also on Saturday mornings.

让我5月份的时候再和他们联系，我又打个了电话过去给Clarissa，确认要做学位认证WES的，她说在线就可以申请的。然后还要我再去考一次CLB测试，因为我上次的是前年考试的CLB7，只有6个月有效。这样在5月前我就可以把这两个事情完成，就可以申请到下一期的了。

还有就是每周要上5次课，一共22周。是个很艰巨的任务。我查了一下，距离我家30KM, 还在可以接受的范围内。要读书可不是那么容易的事情呢，幸亏LG过来了，不然我连读书的念头都不敢有。

昨天晚上给ESSE发了个邮件，问什么时候开课，今天收到答复如下：

We cannot guarantee we will be offering the program any time soon. We are still waiting on the Ministry’s decision to continue with the program or not. 

We will post the Ministry’s decision on our website as soon as we hear back from them. 

Thanks,

所以这么看来还不知道什么时候开课呢。
