As the world’s 6^th and 14^th largest ELT markets and ranking among the top 5 fastest-growing markets for Canada’s language education sector in 2023, South Korea and Taiwan made for an outstanding choice as the focus of Languages Canada’s first inbound trade mission and FAM tour of 2024, which brought a delegation composed of over 30 Korean and Taiwanese agencies to Victoria and Vancouver for a full week of activities.

Nearly 300 participants attended the Languages Canada 17^th Annual Conference in Vancouver, February 28 to March 2, 2024, making it our first ever sold-out gathering of language education leaders, experts, stakeholders, and influencers from across the country and around the world.

International students can study English or French in Canada for less than 6 months on a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). From now until at least the end of March, while the government of Canada isn’t processing study permit applications (or very few), more resources are available to process other visa applications, meaning that short-term language students applying for TRVs and eTAs will benefit from faster processing.
