Summary:
Although the course claimant followed was approved by the Department of Education of the Yukon, the Minister and others who vigorously encourage students to attend high school, these do not constitute referral by the Commission. It must be a CEIC officer which makes the referral. As a high school student, he was following a course of instruction. But it is clear by the use of "other" in ss.18(2) that the qualification requiring referral is intended to cover both "program" and "courses of instruction". Argument that referral was not necessary is dismissed.
