If you’re a permanent resident or a protected person, you can take language classes at no cost. They are funded by the Canadian government.

These classes are called:

Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC)
Cours de langue pour les immigrants au Canada (CLIC)



To take a language class:

I-Take the CLB online self-assessment language test (you can do this before you come to Canada)
II- Visit an organization that helps newcomers get a formal language assessment
III- Register for language classes
IIII-Start taking your classes

Classes are based on the official national standards for measuring and recognizing the language skills of adult immigrants in both English and French
