That’s why I’m very thankful for such support."


"I can say that everything went perfectly and without flaws during our journey to Canada with the beloved C&C family, who became like a member of my own family, helping me and my two children adapt to life here. They never left us alone even in the smallest detail.

Thanks to Çiğdem and Cem, the process was comfortable and peaceful for us. I thank them on behalf of my family for their interest, care, and for still not leaving us alone."


"We completed the 1.5-month summer school process without any problems or doubts, thankfully. The reason for our peace was Çiğdem and her husband, Cem. They were always there for our son. I am very thankful to them. We will be together again in the future, at the university stage!"
