Ottawa, Canada's capital, is known for Parliament Hill, the UNESCO-listed Rideau Canal and its national museums. On the border of Ontario and Quebec, it is a safe, calm capital where English and French are spoken side by side.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Ottawa:
Programs at institutions such as Algonquin College and Carleton University in Ottawa are also among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short summer course, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6-12 months for a university pathway. Programs that require a student visa are usually long-term.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. From June to August, junior programs fill classes and accommodation books up early, while autumn and winter are quieter.
