Why Canada?
Canada is the second largest country in the world. It’s one of the most outstanding countries in terms of geographical diversity. First and foremost, Canada is full of adventure and advantages for those wishing to study there. Some of these advantages include:
- Quality and standard of living is among the highest in the world
- Educational system recognized for excellence and consistent with our European systems
- Friendliness and hospitality of its people
- Cultural wealth
- Safe environment and landscapes.
The capital of Newfoundland, Saint John, lies at the most Eastern point of North America, and only a 6-hour flight away from London! The province hosted the first British settlers and houses sites of incomparable natural beauty some of which are World Heritage of UNESCO. This area is renowned for the friendliness and kindness of its people, its quality of life (clean air, safe environment as Canada’s crime rate is the lowest in the world) , cultural diversity and the opportunity to learn about typical Canadian outdoor activities.
The United States and Canada are vast countries where geographical distances are significant. The primary mode of transportation is by car, and public transportation networks are generally underdeveloped, except in some major cities. International students coming from Europe, where public transportation networks are more developed, may need to adapt to this difference when studying in North America. They might need to reconsider their travel habits by planning their journeys according to the available transportation options.

Young Canadians study a minimum of 12 years (Primary School + Secondary School). This programme offers international students to attend a local public high school (High School). Junior High includes the first 3 years of high school (grades 7-9), High School takes the last three years of secondary education: grades 10 to 12.
The school year is divided into two semesters. As an international student you can integrate a class for a semester or a full academic year.
There are two different school systems in Canada: the semester system and the linear system. The first involves taking 4 courses in the first semester and another 4 courses in the second semester, while in the latter, students take 8 courses throughout the year.
In many Canadian schools, there is a wide range of subject choices. It is a unique opportunity to discover new subjects or refine a preferred area of study. Some courses are offered for one semester, giving students the opportunity to change subjects halfway through the year.
You can also choose subjects regarding sports, culture or social subjects. The school offers a unique chance to blossom in subjects and activities that are unknown. But this will also be the perfect opportunity to integrate into Canadian life and get to know people your age.
Canadians are well-known for their hospitality, their tolerance and openness.
Families are carefully selected by the district’s accommodation service based on their genuine desire to host a young foreigner and share their culture with them through everyday life. This service visits the families’ homes and ensures they can provide the participant with a balanced and welcoming environment.
There is no typical family profile. Each one is unique and reflects the society and lifestyle of the country you have chosen. The family hosting you may have children or not; they may be a blended family or a single-parent family, a single person whose children no longer live at home, retirees, or younger individuals. It is not the composition of the family that matters, but rather their availability and motivation to share their culture with you.
The local coordinator is an experienced person who knows the host families and schools. They are in contact with each individual student at least once a month to ensure that everything is going well.
He/she is available to answer any questions that students may have. Once there, they can assist with different approaches and are able to react quickly should any urgent problems arise. They are the main point of contact on site.
An emergency number will be sent to you in case of any urgent problems you may have.
In order for your stay to go as smoothly as possible and for you to be well informed about the various elements of the program, you will have the opportunity to attend an information and orientation meeting organized by Easy Languages in Brussels, at the end of May / beginning of June. This meeting allows Easy Languages students to meet and exchange questions and experiences with each other and with the Easy Languages team. It is also during this meeting that the final administrative formalities are initiated.
If you do not reside in Belgium, we can organize an online connection for you to attend the meeting live.
Another orientation meeting takes place in Canada in the first few days after your arrival. You will be contacted by your local correspondent, who will be able to answer all your questions regarding your stay and its progress.
