Our centre offers full time Language Instruction for Newcomers (LINC) and English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction for adults of varying levels of language ability. Our LINC/ESL program facilitates students’ social, cultural and occupational integration into Canadian life.

Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) and English as a Second Language (ESL)

Classes are available for beginner to intermediate learners (CLB levels Literacy–6) and focus on building skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing—all in a supportive and inclusive learning environment.

About the Program – The LINC and ESL  program helps permanent residents and refugees improve their English for everyday life, work, and preparing for Canadian citizenship.

    ‍Before starting, participants take a Canadian Language Benchmark Placement Test (CLBPT) to find the class level that’s right for them.
