Native Language: Bosnian

English Assessment: Not assessed by the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)*.

Recommendation: Rifat uses English to run his restaurant and catering business. He needs English to communicate with his customers, suppliers and when he is dealing with government and financial institutions regarding reports, taxes and accounts.

*Note: The CLB is used across Canada as the basis for language assessment and teaching. In Manitoba all the government-funded Adult English as an Additional Language (EAL) programs use the CLB. Some post-secondary educational institutions such as Red River College also recognize CLB test results for program admission.
