How to take advantage of the English pathway at ILAC
The pathway and admission to a Canadian university are two good allies to pursue higher education when you do not have a good level of English, this is a great advantage for Spanish speakers who may think it is a difficult or unattainable process.
In this new Immiland Canada blog, I will present the experience of a client who did the online pathway at the International Language of College Canada (ILAC). This is Ondina, a Venezuelan who got her visa approval after many efforts, including learning English as a second language.
Here I tell you about his success story with the language through the pathway with ILAC to do the advanced diploma in biotechnology at Mohawk College. Here we go!
An online pathway with ILAC
The International Language Academy of Canada (ILAC) is one of the best known English schools in the country, with five campuses in Toronto and four in Vancouver, and has a very important partnership with Immiland, which is the Pathway Program offered prior to her university application. In Ondina's case, the modality was the online course, since she still could not travel and, on top of that, during her application, the Covid-19 pandemic arrived. This delayed her application, on the one hand, but it was an impulse for her to make new decisions.
"We couldn't travel because of the restrictions that were in place...by then we had already left Venezuela for Chile, and it was thanks to a consultancy with Immiland that I decided to reinvent myself and start my online English course with ILAC."
Ondina had accepted the best option available for that year and once she had obtained the level of English she required, she could apply (after the two rejections of her application) for the study visa to start classes at Mohawk College with the advanced diploma in biotechnology.
Important: Mohawk College is one of our partner institutions and we offer discounted registrations. Here is a link to more institutions in the different provinces.
His English level was not up to the level required by the college and it would have been difficult for him to pass the international exam, either the TOEFL or the IELTS, that is why our educational team recommended this pathway that has helped thousands of international students to improve their English and enter directly into a Canadian university.
How is the process with Immiland Education to apply for the pathway with ILAC?
The application is carried out by our educational advisors, who are in charge of advising the student regarding the program that best suits him/her, reviewing his/her documents and preparing his/her application for submission to the institution he/she has chosen.
Immiland Education offers registration discounts that vary depending on the week you have chosen. Contact us for more information at education@immilandcanada.com.
Important: Immiland Education is the educational consulting department of Immiland Canada and only handles the educational consulting for the student's immigration process, NOT the visa process, as this is done by a consultant or lawyer of Immiland Canada.
In this case, Ondina, who is a veterinary doctor, chose biotechnology as a program related to her career, which followed a logical thread for her professional area, according to our recommendation, since this would be taken into account by the officer who would review her documents for the visa, in addition to the fact that it is what allows the professional to enter the labor market in her field with a greater probability of success.
"There were many emails that we sent (my husband and I) to clarify doubts, we were unsure if the language was going to count (for the visa for studies), if we could ever travel, it was a time of pandemic and we did not know what was going to happen. It was a time of great uncertainty and we were grateful for the patience and availability of the entire Immiland education team to guide us. I had to meet a certain score for the English language, since I was applying to study".
What are ILAC's featured programs for studying English in Canada?
Its main classroom courses are the following:
- Intensive English (30 lessons per week, 22.5 hours per week)
- Power English (38 lessons per week, 28.5 hours per week)
- Pathway programs prior to your college application, with an extensive list of colleges and universities with which they have agreements, so this program would serve as a language requirement prior to your college application.
Costs vary according to the number of weeks taken, at Immiland we have discounts on the cost of classroom courses!
Ondina's story reflects the most unexpected obstacles that can arise when dreaming of leaving the country of origin to come to Canada, from visa rejections, need for a review (ATIP), English improvement and more, the important thing is that she knew how to see the opportunities offered by the same immigration system and followed the steps that the Immiland team recommended. She had a very interesting profile, she only needed to improve her English to finish her application and the pathway with ILAC was a light in her path.
Ondina learned English online and successfully entered college with the ILAC pathway, you can too! and the Immiland Education team is ready to assist you and help you achieve the goal of studying in Canada without the TOEFL or IELTS exam.
