由于傳統和歷史造成的原因，加拿大目前有兩種官方語言--英語和法語，這意味著國際學生來加拿大可以選讀英語或法語。也由于眾所周知的緣故，許多人到加拿大來學習英語，還因為加拿大全國各地有許多好的語言學校而且加拿大英語是在美國英語和英國英語之間的一種語言。

加拿大在語言培訓方面有很豐富的經驗。因為很多新移民來到加拿大之后，需要提高他們的英語能力，國際學生可以通用的英語課程、商業英語課程或者是其他類的英語課程。

另外，學生可以在英語教學方面得到培訓。幾乎所有的大學和社區學院都有ESL(英語作為第二語言）課程。通常私立的語言學校在招生方式上比較靈活，法語學習班既有私立的語言又有公立的。

絕大部分（但并不是所有）的法語學校都在魁北克省，與ESL課程相似，學生一般在任何時間都可以進入法語學校，而且學習時間任你選擇。想在加拿大學習英語或法語的學生必須計劃學習三個月以上才有可能拿到簽證. 為那些有申請赴加拿大語言學校學習意向的年輕人方便起見，我們收集整理了以下加拿大語言學校的校名錄，以供大家參考。
