*SENTENCE COMBINATION*

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important writing skill. There are many ways to do this. Try to combine the following three sentences. Do not use a semi-colon.

Sentence 1: The Immigrant Access Fund provides loans for internationally trained immigrants.
Sentence 2: Many immigrant professionals find it hard to pursue their careers in Canada because of accreditation difficulties.
Sentence 3: The loans help pay the costs associated with accreditation, training, or upgrading.

The Immigrant Access Fund provides loans for internationally trained immigrants because many immigrant professionals find it hard to pursue their careers in Canada because of accreditation difficulties, so the loans help pay the costs associated with accreditation, training, and upgrading.

Since many immigrant professionals find it hard to pursue their careers in Canada because of accreditation difficulties, the Immigrant Access Fund provides loans for them, which help pay the costs associated with accreditation, training, or upgrading.
