Five Essential Points to Convey to Students

  • Canada is a natural choice for language education. Officially bilingual, Canada is also a country of immigrants and has invested a great deal in providing ESL (English as a second language) and FSL (French as a second language) resources. Canada’s language programs offer a fast and efficient way for international students to master the communication skills they need to succeed in academic, professional, and social settings.
  • Language proficiency is a key prerequisite for admission into a Canadian university or college.
  • International students have non-stop opportunities to practise their English or French outside of the classroom with friends, homestay families, internships, and in their communities at cultural and recreational events.
  • Over 210 accredited language programs are offered across Canada, from general proficiency education to specialized preparation for academic and technical programs and the workforce.
  • All members of Languages Canada—the national association of language programs—operate under an Accreditation Scheme that ensures the schools meet high standards and operate with integrity.
