After arriving from Syria last year, Maghamez, 20, has been focused on getting into university as quickly as possible. And next week, it will be a reality when Maghamez begins studying life sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga. "I'm so excited," Maghamez said outside the university's William G. Davis Building. Maghamez wasn't allowed to study or work, although he managed to get an under-the-table gig at a copy centre. Now that he's enrolled in university, his next big plan in the coming years is getting his Canadian citizenship.
