British Columbia, in western Canada, is a province for nature lovers, with cities such as Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and Kamloops, the Pacific coast, the Rocky Mountains and rainforests. Its school districts' international programs and colleges offer a wide range of study options.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in British Columbia. Language schools in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna and Kamloops, and programs from school districts such as SD42 Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows, are among the options in the province.
In British Columbia you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the IELTS score universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the student visa and health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginners may have set start dates. Because a Canadian visa application, including the biometrics appointment, can take several months, we recommend applying at least 3-4 months ahead.
For a study permit, the school's letter of acceptance, proof of funds, a study plan letter and documents showing your ties to Turkey are important. Canada's student caps and document requirements have changed in recent years, so check current conditions with IRCC.
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Homestay is the most common option in British Columbia, and schools usually place students with families within easy reach of the school.
Living costs in British Columbia are among the highest in Canada, especially rent. A homestay is the easiest way to balance the budget.
The province's cities are linked by coach, train and domestic flights, and the big cities have extensive public transport.
British Columbia has one of Canada's mildest climates: winters are gentle and rainy with little snow, and summers are warm and sunny.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Vancouver Airport (YVR) take about 11.5 hours; the province's other cities are reached by domestic flights, ferries and buses.
Because Canada uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: British Columbia is 10 hours behind Turkey in summer and 11 hours behind in winter. When it is 18:00 in Turkey, it is 07:00 in British Columbia in winter.
