Our Language School Calendar
Here are all the dates that you need to know to register and study English lessons at inlingua Vancouver, in Canada. Students can start their English course any Monday.
Our main intakes are once every four weeks. On the School Calendar you will find the major intake days, the holidays and vacation time at the end of the year.
By starting on a major intake day, students studying programs that include inlingua Speaking lessons will cover the inlingua level in 4 weeks and study from beginning to end the 15 units on the inlingua book for their level. However, every Monday we receive new students and place them in our ongoing classes. They will finish their first level in 1, 2 or 3 weeks instead of the regular 4 weeks and study a proportional number of units on their books.

Deadlines
You should register in advance if you want to guarantee your placement at the school and for accommodation. At least 2 weeks is recommended.
For immigration purposes, if you need to apply for a Visitor's Visa or Study Permit before coming to Canada, you should prepare and register at least 1 month in advance, so you have time to receive our invoices, process your payment, receive our Letter of Acceptance and send all the documents to obtain your visa. For some countries, it is recommended to do your registration 3 months in advance as the Canadian embassy can take a long time to process your visitor’s visa or study permit.
If you are already in Vancouver and want to register, please contact one of our agents in the city or visit us directly to find out if there is availability for your course. Sometimes, students can register even the same day our courses start.
