About this service

We offer English language classes for newcomers to Canada.

LINC focuses on improving communication by developing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. We offer a variety of part-time classes during the day and in the evenings. Classes focus on themes relevant to newcomers such as Canadian culture, banking, community services, education, family, and getting around the city. Participants take field trips, learn computer skills, volunteer, and participate in health and wellness activities offered by YMCA Calgary.

The goal: help newcomers gain confidence and integrate into a healthy life in Canada, while still celebrating their country of origin.

LINC is funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and therefore free of charge for those who qualify. Students must complete a language assessment through Immigrant Services Calgarys Immigrant Language and Vocational Assessment Referral Centre (ILVARC).
