Scarborough, in the east of Toronto, is known for its multicultural neighbourhoods, the Scarborough Bluffs and the University of Toronto Scarborough campus. It offers more affordable accommodation close to all that Toronto has to offer.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Scarborough. Programs at the University of Toronto Scarborough and Centennial College, and language schools in Toronto, are among the options.
In Scarborough 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 Scarborough, and schools usually place students with families within easy reach of the school.
Living costs in Scarborough are around the Canadian average, with rent lower than in Toronto or Vancouver.
TTC subway and buses connect Scarborough with downtown Toronto.
Scarborough has four distinct seasons: cold, snowy winters, hot, humid summers and colourful autumn leaves.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) take about 11 hours; Scarborough is about 30-40 minutes from the airport by car.
Because Canada uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: Scarborough is 7 hours behind Turkey in summer and 8 hours behind in winter. When it is 18:00 in Turkey, it is 10:00 in Scarborough in winter.
