I know it sounds strange but have your license with you and talk to the guards at the door, you show him or her your license and they will pull a map of the building and show you where to go, at the JCAB offices you will find somebody that speaks English guaranteed, just ask them directly.
I have found them to be very helpful and willing to give you all the assistance you need.
Best of luck and happy new year!
thanks I’ll do that. All the best!
