Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) is an English language training program funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). LINC Home Study Ontario provides free distance education for eligible newcomers to Canada who cannot attend LINC classes in person in Ontario.

To be successful in the program, you need at least 5 hours to study independently each week. You can choose to study either online (computer with internet access) or by correspondence (books and CDs). You are matched with a TESL-certified instructor for weekly one-on-one classes by telephone or VoIP. Your instructor will tailor your learning plan based on your needs, provide you with ongoing support and give you regular feedback on your learning progress.

"Not only have my English skills improved, but I have also learned new things about Canada’s culture and history which has helped me to transition into my new adopted country."

"It’s comfortable to study from home because I have kids and need to take care of them. Only this program has this option to study from home."

"Before I joined this course I had an idea that online language courses do not benefit students much. But after starting the course now I feel it is an ideal alternative for very busy people like us."

"I have the confidence to start small talk with my co-workers now."
