Meet Vanessa Lam, Administrative Assistant:
What do you do and how long have you been at DSB? Just recently joining the DSB team, it is my pleasure to assist with all student inquiries and help offer the tools to better prepare our students so they can make informed decisions. Looking forward to being a part of the Student Experience!
What is the best piece of advice you would give a new student? Stay focused on yourself! Set goals and priorities. Stick to a schedule. Set aside time to do the things you love. Get acquainted with others. Being a new student can be overwhelming. Just know that you are not alone. Ask Questions! We are here to help 🙂
What is your favourite hobby? At the moment, playing board games with my family and catching up on tv-shows on the weekend.
Other fun fact about yourself you would like to share with our students? I have always had a passion for cooking and trying new foods!

Hi Vanessa,
I am emailing to request for my completion letter in order to apply my work permit Visa. Since my student visa will expire at end of this month(July), this is kind of urgent for me. I have been asking around how to get the completion letter, but never get a solid answer, I wish I can get some help from you.
My information is shown below:
Full Name: Hanlin Wu
Student Number: 400136897
details of the information required in the letter:
Confirm I have enrolled as full-time student for 4 years, and I have successfully completed all program requirements,
and confirm my convocation will be conferred in November in Hamilton this year.
Please let me know if any more information is needed.
Really appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Regards,
Hanlin Wu
