Why Students want the Best Education
Education and training provides information, skills and experience.
Education enables individuals to complete more complex tasks, avoid mistakes, perfect skills, use more modern and accurate technology and be more successful in their professional careers.
Many students travel internationally to obtain better, more specialized, more modern, more professional, more successful, more technical, more theoretical, more hands-on, more "something" education, skills and training.
Students want better jobs, professional careers and better lives.
For many international students the first step is to learn English as a second language "ESL".
For most students - the first step - understanding their current status, levels and skills as a language student.
This can be as simple as taking a comprehensive English Language Skills Assessment.

Free ESL Courses in BC Canada
Canadian citizens can now take ESL (English as a Second Language) courses tuition-free at 17 public post-secondary institutions throughout British Columbia. English as a Second Language (ESL) programs provide language instruction at basic, intermediate and advanced levels to people whose first language is not English.
Under the Canada-B.C. Immigration Agreement, ESL courses are being provided tuition-free to new immigrants, such as permanent residents. As well as ESL in the 17 public post-secondary institutions, this includes WelcomeBC’s English Language Services for Adults (ELSA) program in communities throughout the province.
The Province is extending this tuition-free policy to Canadian citizens at public post-secondary institutions, ensuring that they have access to the same opportunities as recent immigrants. The Ministry of Advanced Education will also continue to provide financial assistance to ESL students with a demonstrated financial need under its Adult Basic Education Student Assistance Program (ABESAP) to help with associated fees, books, transportation, child care and other costs.
BC Government-funded ESL courses are offered at the following public post-secondary institutions: British Columbia Institute of Technology, Camosun College, Capilano University, College of New Caledonia, College of the Rockies, Douglas College, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Langara College, North Island College, Northwest Community College, Northern Lights College, Okanagan College, Selkirk College, Thompson Rivers University, University of the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Community College, Vancouver Island University.

Alberta Liberals Promise to boost ESL Training
The Alberta Liberal Party's leader Raj Sherman announced a boost to "ESL" (English as a Second Language) funding to schools and an additional $20 million each year in adult ESL training.
"By increasing funding to ESL we unburden our social services, our teachers, and help immigrants and the children of immigrants achieve their full potential," said Raj, "By failing to help new Canadians integrate into Alberta society we are leaving a massive resource untapped - and it is costing every Albertan money."
An Alberta Liberal government will increase by 50% what it currently provided to schools for ESL programs, and fund new ESL initiatives for adults immigrating to Alberta - including the launching of a program that would allow new Canadians to train up their language skills while on the job.
"The Alberta Liberal announcement means better training for ESL teachers and advanced support services in schools with language training programs. It means funding new programs that allow immigrants to learn language skills remotely - while working and providing for their families."
"In the next ten years Alberta is expected to face a shortfall of at least 77,000 workers. Retaining the best and the brightest from across the globe is the key to Alberta's continued prosperity. And the key to that is funding the supports like ESL that are essential to weaving their lives into the Alberta tapestry."
