Canada House offers a wide variety of programs:

The Intensive ESL Program classes run daily -- four hours of in-class study plus a half-hour of independent study.  Each class has an average of 5 students.

TOEIC and TOEFL Exam Preparation

Canada House specially designs examination preparation to meet the  needs of each student. Before the first lesson, students take a  practice exam at Canada House. Instructors then design a program that  matches any student strengths or weakness.

Computer Course

Canada House offers, in association with Futurekids, a course that helps you understand how home and business computers can increase your skills for the workplace. Introduction to Computers I and II cover the basics of computing and the use of popular programs, while the Advanced course focuses on computer training for the corporate world.

English on the Train

An exciting 5-day journey across Canada's largest provinces, Ontario and Quebec, with an ESL teacher and new friends. You may visit Parliament Hill in Canada's capital city, Ottawa, walk the beautiful streets of Montreal and old Quebec City, and see  the famous Olympic Stadium and Chateau Frontenac. Your memories of this adventure will last a lifetime!

Fees include accommodation and meals. English on the Train is available in spring and summer programs. Students must study our Intensive ESL Program for at least one month before taking this course.

English for Business Management

A course designed for those with Intermediate English skills, or higher. Learn to use English in the world of commerce. Subjects include sales, marketing, financial management, presentations, negotiations, meetings, telephone dialogues, and letter-writing. This course can be taken with other courses at Canada House, such as Part-Time ESL, TOEIC, TOEFL, or Computers.

Academic Preparation

 An excellent new course for students planning to attend Canadian or American universities. Helps develop the necessary skills to meet the demands of academic English. Students will work with real-life texts and visual materials, learn academic strategies (essay writing tips, synthesizing information, listening techniques, and more), and watch videotaped lectures of authentic university professors teaching in English. We suggest taking Academic Preparation along with a TOEFL course for better results and higher scores.

Group Tours

Canada House will custom design tours for groups of four or more students sponsored by companies or professional organizations. Curriculum and content are designed in consultation with clients and focus on language skills for on-the-job performance and technology or information transfer. Contact the school and tell us your needs, for further information.

Examination Preparation with ESL

At Canada House we offer a special chance to combine both the  Examination Preparation programs with the Intensive ESL Program. Students can  enroll in either the Structural Communication or Communication Skills part  of the Intensive ESL Program. Students can also enroll as a full-time student  and take the Examination Preparation lessons before or after ESL classes.

Homestays and Other Accommodation

Canada House provides students with several choices of accommodation:

1. Students can live with a Canadian family in a "homestay."  Each family is carefully selected to help you feel welcome and at home in Toronto. This is a great way to learn about Canadian culture! You can choose this option on the application form, when you register.
2. Longer-term students can choose to stay in an apartment-hotel in downtown Toronto. Apartments are located close to shopping, school, restaurants and the subway.
3. Residence accommodations are available in university dormitories close to the school in June, July, and August.
4. Hostels welcome students from all over the world at very affordable rates.
