Elisa Silva is from Brazil but has been staying with her aunt and uncle in Montreal with hopes of attending high school in Canada.
The 15-year-old was supposed to start school last Friday. She was enrolled at FACE, a specialty elementary and secondary school downtown.
She chose the school for its art program because she loves to paint.
But instead, she’s sitting at her aunt and uncle’s house with nothing to do.
“I don’t know when I’m going to study. I don’t know when my school is going to start,” she said.
She is waiting for her English eligibility application
