As described in our programs, we accept students from 18 years and over, from all countries in the world (possible exceptions for 16 years old and over). We presently receive students from 40 different countries, mainly from Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We rarely have more than 10% of our students coming from the same country at the same time. You can decide the duration of your stay with us from one week to one year. We have no preset dates of sessions. The fact that we offer both English and French allows you to spend some time in Quebec City learning French and some time in Toronto learning English. You need only one visa and you can discover two aspects and two cities of Canada.

In Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City, our schools are located downtown. We are in renovated, well air-conditioned and heated buildings. Both in Toronto and Quebec City we have a restaurant in the building. Our classrooms are spacious. We also have an audio-visual room with videos, close-caption TV, cassettes and books that you can use as long as you wish at no extra charge. All our students have free access to the Internet. Transportation is easy from our schools, either by subway in Montreal and Toronto, or by bus in all three cities. BLI will give you a certificate at the end of your session.
