I don't know shit about the education system in Canada, but I can't imagine it's vastly different from the the US's

It looks like the GED ship has sailed, for you. TO be honest, that's pretty shitty, and I'm not sure why they would do that. On the other hand, make sure you get through a decent amount of maths on your own (try to get past trig and geometry, ffs).

If you have something like a community/junior college, technical school, start by taking classes in those. After you've completed a 2-year degree or certificate program, your high school nonsense won't really matter much anymore.

SO yeah, look into junior colleges and accredited certificate programs

You still need a high school diploma/equivilent to get into community college courses.

The only difference now I guess is that instead of studying for a few days and knocking out all the tests in a month or two I'm going to have to end up in some weird alternative program and probably take 10 month long full fucking length programs or some bullshit.

Probably all because of some politics and government fucks juking numbers for grants. Fucking niggers.

have you tried petitioning or asking the academic advisers there? I'd find it weird that they'd just drop a pretty important social net.

I'm going to have to contact someone at some point and ask around about it.

The problem is that whoever you ask is always just going to shill whatever program they are currently a part of regardless of whether or not it's actually what you're looking for and the quickest route to getting a high school equivalency.

I guess what I'm going for is to forget about the high school equivalency, and go to the local CC and whatever. I mean, Canada is more socialized than the US, and in the US some immigrant from Mexico can just hop into some CC classes and get somewhere in life.

Again, I know diddly squat, but I imagine that theses Junior/Community colleges are government run, not private institutions. Of course, they'll still pitch their thing to you, but it's more legitimate than some for-profit tech "school" or program. Especially if its accredited.

Quick google search yields something like this. I don't see high school as a requisite.

As in, they don't need your diploma. They'll look for whatever grades you've completed in the transcript, but they're probably not going to just deny you. And speak with an advisor there, they'll be more accommodating and willing to get you into a program of sorts.

I suppose that's worth looking into. I just figured you couldn't do any relevant college courses or get a job without a high school equivalency and typically people are always saying "U MUST GIT DIPLOMA B4 ANYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW"

I would rather skip the inane bullshit that is high school ""education"". Though I don't think it's possible.
