Registration and paymentWhen can Students start their Program?Students can start their courses any week. Our major intakes are once every four weeks. Please look at the Calendar included on the Application Form. There 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 will cover the inlingua level in 4 weeks and study the inlingua book from beginning to end. However, every Monday we receive new students and place them in our ongoing classes. They will finish their first level in one, two or three weeks instead of the regular four weeks. They will not start their lessons at the beginning of the textbook, but their improvement will be the same. You should register in advance if you want to guarantee your placement at the school or for accommodation services. At least 2 weeks in advance is recommended. For immigration purposes, if you need to apply for a visitor's visa or study permit to come to Canada, you should register at least 1 month in advance, so you have enough time to receive our invoices and process your payment. After receiving your payment, you will receive our Letter of Acceptance and the Homestay / Rooming information that you will need to apply for your visa or study permit. If you are already in Vancouver and want to register, please contact one of our agents in the city, phone us or visit us to find out if there is availability for your course How can I register at inlingua Vancouver?You can register in person or online through one of our Agents or Representatives. You will most likely find education consultants or travel agencies in your city that represent us and you can register with them. If you prefer you can register directly at inlingua Vancouver, but the price will be the same. It is fundamental to complete the Application Form and fax it to inlingua Vancouver, or complete the form on our website www.inlinguavancouver.com or email the Student's information to info@inlinguavancouver.com making sure to include all the information on the Application form. After sending your Application, you must pay the Registration fees. Our Refund Policy clearly states that inlingua Registration Fee (0) is not refundable under any circumstances and Accommodation Placement Fee (0 for Homestay, 0 for Rooming) is only refundable if you have visa problems you can document. When will inlingua send the Invoices?After you or your agent sends us the Application Form by fax or email , we will fax you (or email you) the invoice. What Fees are included on the Invoices?On the first invoice we will charge all the tuition fees, the inlingua Registration Fee, One set of inlingua Materials (2 books and CD) for the first level and if applicable the Accommodation Placement Fee, One month of Accommodation and the Student Medical Insurance fees. How much should Students pay in advance?Registration fee and Accommodation Placement Fee must be sent to inlingua a minimum of 2 weeks in advance and are non refundable. If students need a Letter of Acceptance to apply for their visa, then the tuition fees must be fully paid 2 weeks in advance before the program of study starts. In case of cancellation, our Refund Policy will apply. For additional Materials (books) please bring the money to Canada and pay for any additional materials when changing to a new level. For additional months of Accommodation please bring the money to Canada and pay the family directly on the last day of each month. If a Student only wants to pay part of the Tuition Fees, it is acceptable for inlingua Vancouver to receive 50% in advance to guarantee School placement. The other 50% for tuition fees must be paid by the student or the Agent prior to the start date at inlingua. The Homestay Placement fee, the first month and airport pickup and drop off fees (if applicable) must be fully paid prior to the arrival date in Canada to guarantee Accommodation placement. Can Students pay inlingua directly after they are in Vancouver?If a Student wants to pay the entire Invoice amount directly in Vancouver, the total amount must be fully paid before the program of study starts, but the Letter of Acceptance will reflect that no payment has been made. However, inlingua can not guarantee placement if no money is received in advanced. If the Student enrols for a long term, i.e. 12 weeks but decides to pay every 4 weeks, the price applicable will be the one for 4 weeks. When will inlingua send the Letter of Acceptance?After the Student has paid the Invoice in full or partially paid the Invoice either to the Agency or to inlingua Vancouver, inlingua will fax (or email) the Letter of Acceptance indicating the Amount paid in advance and the dates covered by the program. As a standard procedure, inlingua sends the Letter of Acceptance by fax or by email. If it is necessary to send original documents by mail, Canadian dollars will be charged in Courier Fees.

Inlingua Vancouver will operate and make all decisions based on all the policies listed on our Application form on paper. These policies are also on our website. Please make sure to use the current Application Form and updated Policies for the year in progress. Is it safe to pay before going to Vancouver?As a registered institution with PPSEC (Private Post Secondary Education Commission of British Columbia) inlingua Vancouver has a Surety Bond that guarantees all moneys given in advance to us by students or Agents.

And the school Activities arranged by our Activities Coordinators will create many opportunities for you to meet other students and Canadians to practice your English, enjoy your time and go to tours around British Columbia, Canada. Programs of studyWhat is the focus of inlingua Vancouver?Our English lessons in the mornings focus on Speaking. We use the inlingua direct method to teach English, so Students will practice a lot and participate in conversations and speaking activities. Listening is also covered in detail on these English lessons. In the afternoon our English lessons focus on conversation, listening, business, Test preparation (TOEFL and Cambridge), skills building (grammar, writing, reading) or semi private lessons. Students will decide and choose the lessons for the afternoon that match their learning goals. How fast will I learn?At inlingua Vancouver there are 10 levels, from Beginner to Advanced +. Each level lasts 4 weeks. You can advance to the next level if you pass the exams with 80% of achievement or more.

How many months do I have to study to learn English?You can study from 2 weeks to 32 weeks, depending on your time availability and budget.

Should I study a full time course or a part time course?You can study full time programs or part time programs. If you need a Study Permit (student visa) to come to Canada, then you have to choose a full time program like SE or IP1 (see section of Programs for a detailed description). If you are already in Canada and want to study at our language school, you can study our part time programs like PT1, TOEFL or any of our afternoon lessons. What is the best English course for me?All the programs at inlingua Vancouver are good. Some are very intensive, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Some are less intensive, from 9:00 AM to 12:15 PM, or only in the afternoon. It is your decision. Even though you will learn English in any of our programs, you should consider the following factors:
After I start my program, can I change it?inlingua Vancouver will accept changes of Program of Study between one Full-Time Program to another Full-Time Program, for example, from SE Program to IP1 Program.

All students who want to make their Program longer, for example to include Afternoon classes or Morning classes, will only pay the difference between the Part-Time Program they enrolled for and the new Full-Time Program selected. Will I learn English if there are 12 or more students in my class?Yes. We guarantee it. Our method and teachers will give all the students time to speak and practice English in their lessons. And remember that we can offer competitive prices thanks to our balanced class size. Paying more for your English course in smaller groups will not help you more than our group classes. It is the combination of the inlingua method and your effort, both in class and outside the school that will allow you to improve and learn English very fast. But what happens if I want to study English with only a few students in my class?inlingua Vancouver offers semi private English lessons in the afternoon with only 3 to 6 students per teacher. These lessons are included in our SE-Star English program. When students register in our SE program, they are getting the best lessons and not paying more. What is FCE?The Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) is the third level of the Cambridge exams in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). It is an upper intermediate level exam, set at Level B2 of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework, and recognises the ability to deal confidently with a range of written and spoken communications. Who is FCE for?FCE is designed for learners whose command of English is adequate for many practical everyday purposes, including business and study. Successful candidates will have a wide grasp of vocabulary, and should be able to construct an argument and use appropriate communication styles for a variety of situations. They also need to show an awareness of register and of the conventions of politeness and degrees of formality as they are expressed through language. Why choose FCE?FCE is recognised by many universities and other educational institutions as proof of intermediate level English skills, and these institutions accept it as meeting part of their entrance requirements. What does the exam involve?FCE has five papers: Reading, Writing, Use of English, Listening and Speaking. Each of the written papers is returned to Cambridge for marking and assessment.
