Kamloops, in the interior of British Columbia, is known for its desert-like hills where the Thompson rivers meet, golf courses and being close to the Sun Peaks ski resort. With Thompson Rivers University and low living costs, it is an economical student city.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Kamloops. English preparation programs at Thompson Rivers University are among the options.
In Kamloops 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.
