Next session starts June 4, 2012
Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) represents the standard for language learning and is consistent with the Canadian Language Benchmarks.
Skills for Change offers full-time English classes for listening, speaking, reading and writing. Each program is 8-10 weeks long.
What will I learn?
Curriculum includes learning about Canadian life and culture, using English to learn more about accessing services required, tools for searching for a job, workplace culture, conversation practice, and much more. Students who are new to Canada and need orientation to the culture and language will generally begin with these classes before moving on to other programs.
A free childminding program is available for children aged from 18 months to 5 years old. The children need to be registered with the YMCA assessment centre at the time of testing. Our program can only accept a maximum of eight children at a time.
Is this course for me?
- Permanent or landed immigrant or convention refugee
- Language assessment by the YMCA assessment centre*
* If you meet the eligibility criteria for LINC, you can be assessed at no charge. In Toronto, the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) assessment centre is the YMCA. Once you have been assessed, you can access LINC and other CIC-funded language programs offered by Skills for Change and other community organizations.
