Are you new to Canada and want to improve your English? ISSofBC now has more FREE English classes (LINC) for newcomers. We also have free preschool for children and support for Deaf and hard-of-hearing students!

New Locations, More Flexibility
Now, you can take LINC classes in Coquitlam, Surrey, Vancouver (Victoria Drive), and Richmond.
Classes are online or in person, and you can study in the morning, afternoon, or evening.
You must be 17 years or older. We teach beginner to intermediate English (CLB 1–6).
Free Preschool for LINC Students
Do you have young children? If you study during the day in Vancouver (Victoria Drive) or in Richmond, you can use our free preschool for children aged 30 months to 5 years. Learn English while your child plays and learns in a safe place!
ASL (American Sign Language) LINC Classes
Are you Deaf or hard of hearing? You can take free English classes with ASL LINC class support at ISSofBC.
It is a program for Permanent Residents who have limited or no English.
“Before I started my English Language LINC classes at ISSofBC, I felt uncomfortable going outside my home since I didn’t know how to speak English. It changes many people’s lives, especially mine.”
