Starting a new life in a new country is a difficult mission that every immigrant has to overcome. For Noor Sakhniya, a Syrian newcomer in Ottawa, the challenge was even bigger. While he was working full-time in an NGO that helps refugees and immigrants, he finished his training to become a licensed commercial pilot.

Noor Sakhniya has finished his training at Ottawa Aviation flying school in Ottawa.
Before flying, Sakhniya does a walk around the plane to check its body for safety reasons.
Being an immigrant hasn’t discouraged Sakhniya from pursuing his childhood dream.
