Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the capital of British Columbia, known for its British-style historic buildings, the Butchart Gardens and Canada's mildest climate. Calm and safe, it offers a peaceful setting for language study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Victoria. Language schools in Victoria and programs at the University of Victoria and Camosun College are 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.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a visitor visa for up to 6 months and a study permit for longer programs. NGGlobal helps you choose the right visa and prepare your documents.
Working on a visitor visa is prohibited. Students enrolled only in English or French language courses generally have no right to work off campus even with a study permit; work rights come with college and university programs.
Homestay is the most common option in Victoria, and schools usually place students with families within easy reach of the school.
Living costs in Victoria are among the highest in Canada, especially rent. A homestay is the easiest way to balance the budget.
Buses serve Victoria, and intercity travel is by coach, VIA Rail trains and domestic flights.
