why canada? why toronto?

Canada has always been known as a safe country to live and study in. Canada opens numerous opportunities to everyone. Canada is home of internationally renowned universi-ties that are ranked within the world’s top 50 univer-sities for their academic outcomes. As Times Higher Education World University ranking runs, University of Toronto is 16th; University of British Columbia and Mc-Gill University are 31st (Same Ranking).

Studying in Canada costs less than in other countries such as Australia, US, and the UK. Canada offers lower tuition fee and falls in the middle among the top educa-tional markets.

Tuition cost is not the only consideration. Canada also offers lower cost of living than most European countries and the US. In 2013, Canada welcomed a record 100,000 international students, an increase of 60 per cent from 2004. (Source: HSBC Research 2013)

what our students say about us...

chris, qiyue sun Ryerson University, George Brown CollegeI would like to recommend TIC because we have shorter more efficient time in tutoring than public school. And we have small-er size class, which means we can get more attention from teachers. So we will have good quality in education. This is a good school, I think.

Rella, Yulei Liu Commerce and Accounting | UT Scarborough Campus, University of Waterloo, Carlton UniversityFinally my dream came true because I got my offer from U of T. I will overcome all obstacles in future study as I successfully went through all the challenging programs here.

Win Soe KyawPrestigious University Program The reason why I chose this school was because of my senior who told me that this school demands high ethic for study and have the best teaching facility for international students. That caught my attention and I knew that it would be necessary to enter U OF T easily and succeed there. When I arrived in this school the things which surprised me was the teaching style. It was completely different with what I have learned before. With the help of the teacher I can see that I am improving day by day.

Vitna KimUniversity of WaterlooI took the High School Graduation Equivalence Examination(GEE) in Korea instead of completing my high chool at school. I was very disappointed by the fact that my GEE can’t meet the requirement for Canadian Universities. However, I am very happy that I can apply any universities in the world with one year’s UP program with TIC.

Iris, Yue Tang Mathematices | UT Scarborough University, University of Waterloo, Ryerson University, Carlton UniversityI think I will have a bright future in my ideal university. I am very happy because I got 4 offers from 4 different universities. I appreciate to my parents for supporting me.

Anastasia KhomochkinaESL ProgramI came to Canada from far east of Russia. After high school I decided to learn English and get education in Canada. This course helped me to improve my English. It covered a wide range of skills such as writing, listening and speaking. This course will also provide me the opportunity to prepare myself to follow my dream.

Edwin ChoiInha University When I was in Korea, I was one of the many students who didn’t know what to do for the future. I took the risk of giving up my high school in Korea and came to TIC. I was very impressed that all staff and teachers gave individual attention and care and always try to find the best solution for each student. I really admire my IELTS teacher who I think is the best English teacher and a humanist. I trust the guidance and education plan that my school provide for me. It opened my eyes to see the many possible opportunities that I didn’t even know they exist.
