The name of the program is LINC, which stands for Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada. This program is designed for adults. Newcomers under the age of 18 will be language level tested and put into ESL programs in the elementary or secondary schools in their local school board district.

Public Elementary and Secondary Schools

In Ontario for example, children aged 6 - 18 must attend school. The Education Act is the law that governs public schools in Ontario. It says that children aged 6-18 must attend school. Many children can begin full day kindergarten program at age 4. It is important to know that all children aged 6-18 can attend school, regardless of their immigration status or the immigration status of their parents. This is outlined in the Education Act, the law that governs public schools in Ontario.

Provincial and Territorial Departments and Ministries are responsible for public elementary and secondary schools in Canada

Private Elementary and Secondary Schools

In Ontario, private schools operate as businesses or non-profit organizations independently of the Ministry of Education and in accordance with the requirements set by the Education Act. Private schools do not receive any funding or other financial support from the government. The Ministry of Education does not regulate, licence, accredit or otherwise oversee the operation of private schools. Parents, guardians and students must do their research before registering for private schools. Information on a particular school's educational program, business practices and other policies should be obtained from the school directly, prior to registration.

Private Language Schools

Private language schools provide their training to international students and visitors to Canada who do not qualify for the public or LINC programs. The private language schools are for profit businesses and can be heaven or hell for students.
