Saskatoon, Saskatchewan's largest city, is called the 'City of Bridges' for its bridges over the South Saskatchewan River. With the University of Saskatchewan, riverside parks and very low living costs, it is a calm student city.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Saskatoon. English preparation programs at the University of Saskatchewan are among the options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Most schools use a system of 8-12 levels, and on an intensive course you should allow about 4-8 weeks per level.
Language school fees in Saskatoon depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a letter of acceptance; for programs longer than 6 months, the school must be a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
