What is LINC?

LINC is funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, which offers language training across the country for permanent residents and convention refugees.

LINC assists the integration of immigrants into Canadian culture and society by providing thematic English language training. It includes social, cultural and economic information. Students learn basic and advanced topics related to Canada and the Canadian way of life, while learning English at the same time.

The purpose of the LINC program is to help newcomers become participating members of Canadian society.

Childminding

LINC classes in Durham offer free childminding for children of our students. Please note that there is a limited number of spaces available, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Childminding starts at the age of six (6) months at the  Oshawa and Pickering centres and eighteen (18) months of age in the Whitby and Ajax schools.

Please register children as soon as possible.  Do not miss the chance for them to learn English, have lots of fun, and make many wonderful new friends from around the world!
