This is an informal program that connects newcomers to community volunteers, for help with practicing and improving their English conversation skills. Learners meet with their Language Partner once a week, for 90 minutes, for 3 months. 

Our English Language Partner program helps adult EAL learners who have beginner to intermediate level English to:

• Improve their English speaking and listening skills
• Communicate with confidence
• Make connections with long-time Canadians and established immigrants in their community
• Get a better understanding of various aspects of life in Canada
• Feel at home in Canada and their community. 

This program is available to Immigrant Centre clients who have Permanent Resident status.
