Study in Canada

Language Schools

General English

International students can learn a variety of language skills in language schools in Canada, including grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They can also improve their pronunciation, accent, and communication skills through practice and feedback from qualified instructors. Students have the option to choose between full-time or part-time programs.

Test preparation

Language schools in Canada offer TOEFL and IELTS test preparation programs to enhance students' language skills. These programs are crucial for international students who plan to pursue higher education in Canada since many universities and colleges require these language proficiency tests for admission.

College and university pathways

The objective is to assist students in meeting the language admission criteria for a Canadian college or university without requiring them to take the TOEFL or IELTS test.

30plus or 50 plus

Canadian language schools offer personalized language programs for mature adults (30+ or 50+) with practical skills, cultural activities, and small class sizes. Various teaching methods and suitable accommodation options are also available. These programs enhance language proficiency, cultural learning, and knowledge expansion.

TESOL

TESOL is short for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and its programs aim to train and certify individuals who aspire to teach English as a second or foreign language.

Junior Summer and Winter camp

Canadian language schools offer junior summer and winter camps as short-term language and cultural immersion programs for children and teenagers. These camps last a few weeks and provide activities like sports, arts and crafts, field trips, and cultural excursions to improve English skills and learn about Canadian culture.

College and vocational schools

Canadian colleges and vocational schools offer various opportunities for students to gain practical work experience while studying.

These programs are designed in collaboration with businesses and industries, providing hands-on training and teaching in-demand skills to prepare students for their future careers.

Additionally, some programs offer work-integrated learning, allowing students to earn an income while studying in Canada. Attending a Canadian college can lead to earning a certificate, diploma, or post-graduate diploma.

International students favor Canada for higher studies as it has 10 of the top 250 universities in the world (QS World University Rankings, 2021).

Canada offers a diverse range of higher learning institutions, including small universities with a personalized learning environment and large research-intensive universities with a global reputation.

University degrees in Canada provide bachelor's, master's, and doctorate (PhD) degrees that are equivalent to those in other Commonwealth countries like Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Secondary

Canadian teenagers are known for being high achievers in global education assessments conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

In the latest rankings, Canada ranked 6th in reading, 12th in math, and 8th in science.

Furthermore, Canada has the second-highest rate of high school graduation in the world. If you send your child to study in Canada for their secondary education, you will be providing them with an excellent foundation for college or university.
