Province Providing Free Language Training for Ontario Immigrants
Equipping Newcomers, Refugees and Immigrants with Skills to Succeed
Ontario is funding free language training for all newcomers and immigrants in the province to help people get jobs, pursue an education and adjust to life in Ontario.
Laura Albanese, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, was joined by Etobicoke-Lakeshore MPP Peter Milczyn at the Mimico Adult Centre in Etobicoke today to make the announcement.
This investment will deliver free language assessment and training courses that help newcomers, refugees and immigrants settle in Ontario, regardless of how long they’ve been in the province.
Ontario’s language training program for immigrants is the largest in Canada. Language assessment and classes are provided through both the public and Catholic school boards to about 70,000 immigrants every year.
Investing in language training is part of the government’s economic plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.
