Hello,
I am a graduate of Ashton College (2013),
I would like to register for the Express Entry CPD being held on Sat 19th Sep.
I don’t have my Ashton card on me where it allows a little discount.
I am also in Australia and not back in Canada until late Friday.
If someone could advise me of my Ashton card number to use for CPD courses that would be ideal and so I can register for the Express Entry CPD.
Thank you
