Language Training
Language is the key!
Most universities and community colleges also offer language classes, as do some private language schools and community organizations. You can contact these groups directly for more information. Remember to ask about fees, since these courses may not be free. You may also wish to refer to the other two pamphlets in the back pocket of your guide: Finding Help in Your Community, and Key Information Sources. LINC offers both full- and part-time classes to suit your needs, and some centres offer free childcare while you attend classes. Most LINC centres can also refer you to other language training classes in your area. Remember, language classes are available for every adult in your family, not just the person who may be looking for work. Contact your local immigrant serving organization or one of the LINC assessment centres listed below, depending on where you live. Remember: when you use the telephone, speak slowly and clearly, and have a pen or pencil and some paper to write down information. You may be referred to another phone number, or be given other useful information.

Government of Canada, in cooperation with provincial governments, school
boards, community colleges, and immigrant and community organizations,
offers free language training across the country for adult permanent residents.
In most provinces, the name of the program is LINC, which stands for Language
Instruction for Newcomers to Canada. This pamphlet lists the LINC assessment
centres across Canada. These centres can assess your language training
needs and refer you to the right LINC classes for your needs.
