WELCOME TO ILSC–TOrOnTO!

Learning a language by living it, using it every day, studying it in meaningful situations, and having fun in the process—this is what thousands of students from many countries have done at ILSC! Now it’s your turn!We strive to create an atmosphere that supports students in learning English.

Talk with your teacher about your needs and interests

Get to know students from other cultures

Find ways to learn and practise English outside the school

Speak with staff when you have questions or concerns

Come to class on time

Attend class every day

Speak only English in the school

Show respect for others

Join in all classroom activities—participate fully!

We also invite you to participate with ILSC outside the classroom and discover the city and culture of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, through our wide range of afternoon, weekend and volunteer activities, and through our homestay accommodation program.

We’re happy you’ve joined us for an amazing language and cultural learning adventure at ILSC!

School Policies

dispuTE rEsoLuTion procEdurEILSC students can talk about difficulties with their teachers, counsellors/liaisons and/or administration. If no satisfactory solution is found, students need to follow formal procedures including presenting the problem in writing to the School Director who will, in writing, address and resolve the dispute. In case such disputes are not resolved to the students’ satisfaction, students have the right to appeal the decision in writing to Languages Canada.

disMissaL poLicyILSC students must keep good attendance and attend at least 80% of their classes. They must speak only English when on school premises. If these expectations are not met, students will receive counselling. After appropriate warnings, students will be expelled. Likewise, if a student’s behavior is inappropriate by the school’s standards, the above procedures will be followed.

poLicy on digniTy and rEspEcTCanadian society recognizes differences and diversity. This requires that all people be treated with dignity and respect. One of the school’s explicit goals is to develop a humanist, people-caring community. It is school policy to support these principles, and to maintain an environment free from all types of personal discrimination, harassment, or bullying.

All students are assigned to cultural counsellors/student advisors based on their nationality. Students are encouraged to speak with their counsellor if they feel unsafe in any way while studying at the school. Teachers are in daily contact with students, and are often the first to recognize if a student is experiencing personal challenges. Teachers are encouraged to refer students to Program Directors or counsellors if they are expressing discontent. Teachers are expected to communicate to Program Directors in cases where students’ behavior is viewed as inappropriate or unacceptable. In cases where counselling does not yield positive results, the student may be suspended from further study. In cases where behavior is extremely offensive or hurtful, the student may be expelled from the school.

rEfund poLicyTo receive a refund of any portion of tuition fees, you must give ILSC written notice that you intend to withdraw from the program in which you have enrolled. If your Study Permit or visa is denied, ILSC will retain the registration fee and, if applicable, the Accommodation Registration Fee.

If you cancel in writing or are dismissed from ILSC after your program starts, ILSC will retain the following percentage of your tuition fees:

If you leave or are dismissed before 10% of the period of instruction specified in your contract has elapsed, ILSC may retain 30% of tuition.

If you leave or are dismissed after 10% and before 30% of the period of instruction specified in your contract has elapsed, ILSC may retain 50% of tuition.

If you leave or are dismissed after completing more than 30% of your program, you will not receive a refund (0%).

Change of schedules is considered the same as cancellation. i.e. for a schedule change of Full-Time Intensive (30 lessons/week) to Full-Time (24 lessons/week), you will have to cancel the whole program and re-apply for the Full-Time program.

Specialty programs are not transferable to core programs. If you change your program from a specialty program to a core program, you have to cancel the specialty program and re-apply for the core program.

If you are eligible for a refund under the conditions above, you will receive the refund within 30 days of ILSC receiving written notice of cancellation or ILSC’s notice to you of dismissal.

cELL pHonE /ELEcTronics poLicyPlease turn off cell phones and other electronic devices during class time (unless otherwise instructed by your teacher) to avoid interruptions and distractions in class for yourself and other learners.

These labs also offer free Internet access outside of class hours. Wireless internet access is also available throughout both campuses.

The inviting student lounges at all ILSC campuses provide students with access to free filtered water, microwaves, refrigerators, as well as vending machines for the purchase of snacks.

Bulletin boards throughout our campuses provide information about ILSC after-school and weekend activities, travel, upcoming local events, etc.

sTudEnT idEnTificaTion cardsILSC students will be issued a student card which should be carried at all times. You will need to show this card if you would like to use the school computer lab during free time. This card displays your name and ILSC student number and is issued on your first day at ILSC–Toronto.

rEcycLing & rEducing WasTEILSC does its best to act in an environmentally responsible manner and we ask the same of our students. All campuses are equipped with recycling boxes for paper, recycling bins for cans and glass as well as bins for waste. Bins are clearly marked with signage explaining what you can recycle, and what you need to throw away. We also encourage you to carry your own refillable cup to avoid creating waste.

sEcuriTyToronto is a very safe city and our goal is to ensure student safety at all times possible. If you or a student you know has been made to feel uncomfortable by a stranger asking for money, inappropriate touching or threatening to take your property or to harm you in any way, this should be reported at once to the front desk as well as to your counsellor. You may be asked to provide a written statement of the incident for the police. If you are harassed or threatened outside of the school premises, please call police by dialing 911.

Again, our goal is to ensure that you are safe at all times while at ILSC.

Facilities & Student Services

MEdicaL (HEaLTH) insurancEHealth care in Canada is very expensive and international students are not covered by provincial health insurance plans. This means you would pay a lot of money if you become ill or are involved in an accident while you are in Canada.

ILSC–Toronto works with Guard Me International Insurance, one of the world’s largest insurance providers in international education. You can purchase insurance before coming to Canada from ILSC–Toronto or an education agent in your country.

We strongly advise you to acquire medical insurance for the entire period of your stay in Canada.

To learn more about Guard Me Insurance, please visit their website: https://guard.me/who-is-turbo.php or www.guard.me.

sTudy pErMiTsStudents who come to Canada on a visitor visa can only study English for up to six months. If students want to study for longer than six months, they must apply for a study permit at a Canadian Embassy: www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-who.asp

If students want to extend their study permit, they must apply for the extension at least 45 days before the expiry date of their study permit. They will need to send a copy of their SPR (Student Progress Report) for each session. Please keep the copies that your teacher issues at the end of each course: www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-extend.asp

If you have questions about study permits or other immigration questions, inquire with ILSC staff. ILSC–Toronto can connect you with an immigration consultant who offers a range of services for varying fees.

counsELLors /inTErnaTionaL sTudEnT advisorsOur staff includes a team of counsellors /international student advisors who can often help you in your native language. Throughout your studies, an individual counsellor will support you in creating the academic, social, and cultural conditions for success, inside and outside of school. They are available for any questions and concerns regarding your experience in Canada.

rEQuEsT for acadEMic counsELLingIf you are not satisfied with your program, you can speak with your teacher, your counsellor or your Program Director. We are here to help you!

New students who are not comfortable with their classes after trying them for the first few days, are encouraged to report to the Program Director or to Student Services on Thursday of their first week to discuss other possible options.

Continuing students are interviewed by teachers at the end of each session. Through these interviews, decisions are made about programs, courses, and levels for the following session. If this is not easily decided between teachers and students, the teachers will send the students to the Program Director (midweek of week 4). The Program Director will talk with the students about their concern and try to help them find a solution.

acadEMic advisorsIf you need extra help with your classes, you can speak to an academic advisor. ILSC’s academic advisors are available to help students 2 days a week after 4:00 PM. They will help you progress in your learning and can help you by giving you extra practice with language skills, tips to help you complete your homework assignments, strategies to improve your study skills and habits, and suggestions on what courses to take in future sessions. A schedule as to when they are available is posted around the school.

Welcome to Toronto! Staying in student accommodations will give you an excellent opportunity to practise your English conversation skills and experience Canadian life.

Our homestay families are located in good neighbourhoods in areas in and around Toronto, all within 45–60 minutes from the school by public transit. Homes are safe, secure, inspected and approved by our Student Accommodations Program staff. Your homestay family will be different from your own, so we ask you to be prepared to adjust to a new household routine, different food and new rules. You will become one of the family! The information below will help answer some of the questions you may have about your accommodations. Our Student Accommodations Department and cultural coordinators will always be available to assist you whenever you have questions or want to talk about your homestay.

duTy of faMiLy MEMBErsMost Canadians work outside the home and are active in community affairs. Each family member has duties around the home and does many things for themselves. For example, family members, and you too, will be expected to take your own dishes from the dining room to the kitchen and you will take care of your own possessions.

soME iMporTanT poinTs Always be considerate of your homestay family and their

plans and feel free to join them, whenever possible.

You will be expected to clean up after yourself.

You will need to keep the bathroom you use clean and tidy.

Remember to say “Thank you” and “Please.”

Please note that women in North America are treated with the same respect, attention and consideration as shown to men; they are equals.

EXpEcTaTionsEach family will orientate you to the layout of your new home. You will be asked to respect the rules and regulations that pertain to their household. If any questions arise about your new home, please ask your family.

You will be provided with a clean, comfortable, room. The room will be equipped with a desk, bed, dresser, closet, good lighting and sufficient heating. You are expected to keep your own room neat and tidy.

If you have selected one of the plans where meals are included, you will try many different types of food.

Please tell your family what you like and dislike. Since your homestay family will be expecting you at dinner time (hours vary from family to family) it is very important to call your homestay family in advance if you will not be home for dinner or if you will be late. You cannot expect your homestay family to prepare meals at late hours for you.

MEaLs in rEguLar HoMEsTayBreakfast: Breakfasts are usually simple and self-serve. A typical breakfast may include cereal, bacon, eggs, toast and jam, juice, milk, tea or coffee.

Lunch: Lunch may be sandwiches, snacks, fruit and a drink. Usually, you are expected to pack your own lunch.

dinner: You will be provided with a sit down family dinner, and will enjoy the type of food that the family typically eats. Families are not expected to prepare you specialty ethnic foods.

MEaLs in HaLf-Board HoMEsTayBreakfast: Breakfasts are usually simple and self-serve. A typical breakfast may include cereal, bacon, eggs, toast and jam, juice, milk, tea or coffee.

dinner: You will be provided with a sit down family dinner, and will enjoy the type of food that the family typically eats. Families are not expected to prepare you specialty ethnic foods.

MEaLs in rooMsTayIf you choose Roomstay, you must purchase and prepare all meals and snacks on your own. Your family is not responsible for providing any meals any day.

Generally, you will share a bathroom with members of the family or other students. Therefore, you should learn the family’s schedule. Ask when you should shower or bathe and if any restrictions apply on the length of time in the bath or shower. You must be aware that the supply of hot water is not endless. Ask how you are expected to tidy the bathroom. Female students should know how to dispose of sanitary napkins. All students should keep the toilet area clean after use at all times.

Ask about arrangements to do your laundry. Some families will do your laundry for you or you will be shown how to do your own. You are not expected to do housework, although we encourage students to help with simple chores around the house, especially together with other family members. This provides a good opportunity for English conversation.

Be aware of household energy conservation (turning lights out, not wasting water, and or recycling programs).

You are welcome to join your homestay family in any outings or activities. They will help you to orientate yourself in and around Toronto. We encourage you to spend as much time with your homestay family as possible. This will help you to establish a good relationship. Generally, in Canada, it is customary for each person to pay his or her own way. Please feel free to ask your homestay family whether there will be a cost for any of these outings or activities.

Make sure you know how to get to and from your home. It is strongly recommended that you carry a card with your homestay family’s name, address and phone number with you at all times.

usE of TELEpHonEEach family will have their own set of rules for the use of the telephone. Arrange with your family how you will pay before making long distance phone calls. You can make collect calls or ask for time and charges. Please be sure that you clearly understand the use of the family’s telephone. If the family has an answering machine, learn how to use it. We also advise you to purchase a telephone card available in various denominations. Advise your parents and friends of the time change so that the homestay family is not disturbed by calls at inconvenient times. DO NOT leave your homestay family home with telephone charges unpaid. There will be serious repercussions.

EMErgEnciEs If you become ill and can’t attend class, please phone

the school before 9:00 AM so that the teachers can be notified.

Know how to reach your homestay family at work. Ask for their emergency telephone numbers. ILSC’s emergency telephone number is: 416-459-5756

TransporTaTionToronto has an excellent public transit system called the TTC. Your home will be approximately 45–60 minutes from the school. Your homestay family will show you how to get to school. You can purchase a discounted metro pass at the main campus. Public transportation schedules are available from tourist information booths and subway stations. The TTC system includes buses, subways, and streetcars.

It is common for homestay students to take a bus or streetcar to a subway station as part of their commute to and from school.

HoMEsTay pLacEMEnT procEdurEsThe Student Accommodations department takes great care in matching your application form with the appropriate homestay family. Every home is visited and checked to ensure that you will be happy and comfortable. If time permits, we ask you to write to the homestay family so they will know something about you before you arrive.

HoMEsTay payMEnT scHEduLEWe hope you will be satisfied in your new home. However, if during the first 5-day period you do not feel comfortable and would like to change your family, please visit the Student Accommodations Department and speak with one of our staff.

It is against the policy of ILSC Education Group Inc. for the homestay families to charge you a damage deposit or additional fees during your stay.

If the student is away for 14 days or less during his/her stay (unless the homestay family is willing to issue a refund).

If the student does not practise correct behavior (see above) within the home, the student will be asked to leave.

If the student leaves the homestay for more than 2 consecutive weeks (14 consecutive nights) and would like to continue with the same family after his/her absence, the student must discuss this with the family. You may also ask to leave your belongings with the family while you are away; however, it is your responsibility to arrange this. If you would like to stay with the same homestay family, you will be required to pay roomstay fees during your absence to ‘hold’ your room. In addition, if you leave your belongings during this time, you must pay half of the homestay fees as well.

Students must give a minimum two weeks’ notice to their homestay family and the Student Accommodations Department if they wish to leave before the end of their term.

Students who want to extend their homestay dates must advise the homestay family and the Student Accommodations Department at least 2 weeks prior to the extension start date.

It is very important to remember that students will not be able to extend their homestay dates if another student has already been placed with the homestay family. This situation is most common during the busy season, (May–September,) but it can occur at any time of the year. It is your responsibility to find other arrangements.

If you are unable to extend your homestay date with your family, an additional placement fee will be charged if you would like ILSC’s Student Accommodations Department to find another homestay family for you.

ILSC will issue payment (homestay and airport reception) to your family if you have prepaid through an agent in your home country.

Students are prohibited from paying any fees directly to the homestay family. All payments must go through the school. If a homestay family requests direct payment, please inform ILSC.

HoME and MEdicaL insurancEHomestay families do not have insurance to cover students’ belongings. ILSC recommends that you purchase insurance to cover the loss, theft or damage of personal belongings and valuables during your stay in Canada in case of burglary or fire. Neither ILSC, nor your homestay family can be held responsible for damage, loss or theft of your personal items while you are here. Ask your homestay family about this if you are concerned.

All students should have medical insurance while staying in Toronto. If you have any questions, please see your appropriate cultural counsellor.

Toronto is considered one of the safest cities in the world. The people here are very friendly, and welcome visitors from all over the world.

However, no matter how safe a city is considered to be, it is important to remember that there are certain places and certain people to watch out for. Every city has areas where you should never go alone, or even with your friends. Certain people will try to take advantage of visitors and travelers that come to their city. This guide will give you important information on how to be safe and what dangers to look for no matter what city you are in.

KEEp your MonEy and pErsonaL iTEMs safE Never carry large amounts of money in your wallet or

purse. You may be an instant target if people know you are carrying lots of money.

Keep your money safe in a bank. Never tell anyone your bank account information or PIN number. Avoid using bank machines alone at night or early in the morning.

If you are going to leave money at home, keep it in a safe, lockable place, like your suitcase.

Keep your wallet in your pocket or purse. Never carry it in your hand.

Don’t leave any personal belongings unattended, even when you are in ILSC

Pay attention to your surroundings when using cell-phones or small electronics in public places

siMpLE sTrEET sMarTs There is safety in numbers. You are less likely to get into

any trouble if you are with your friends.

Be confident and walk tall. People target those who seem weak and unsure of themselves.

When possible, always stay in areas with lots of other people around. If anything ever does happen, there are people that can help you right away.

Know your surroundings. Always see who and what is around you.

Stay away from people on the street that make you feel uncomfortable. Don’t make eye contact with them and just walk around them or cross the street to the other side.

Use your voice. If you are in a situation where you need help, yelling out “No!” or “Help me!” will let others know you might be in danger and need help.

If someone threatens you for your money, give them your money or wallet and they will generally leave you alone. Always put your personal safety first, and do not fight back; instead, take a mental note of what the thief looks like, and what he/she is wearing so that you can report the incident to police in as much detail as possible.

Always keep an eye on your belongings. Your things can be easily stolen if you don’t pay attention and leave them unattended.

WHEn nigHT faLLs Always stay in well-lit areas. Stay away from dark streets

and corners.

At night, when possible, never go out anywhere alone. If you have to go alone, let someone know where you are going and what time you should be back.

When going to a nightclub or bar, it is best to go with a friend or a group of friends. It is OK to talk to people, but always be careful. Never give out your phone number or address to someone you just met.

Never get into the car of a stranger, even if they offer to give you a ride home.

If you are walking home at night, always walk on major streets that are lit. Never take shortcuts through dark alleys or parks.

When taking the bus, subway, or streetcar at night, either sit close to the driver or close to the exit.

Never fall asleep on the bus, subway, or streetcar.

Be direct with someone if you have to. If someone is bothering you and you want him or her to leave you alone, make it very clear to that person. Sometimes just ignoring someone doesn’t work.

If you think someone is following you, find a safe place to go and tell a police officer (call 911) or someone who can help you.

Always cross the street at traffic lights or crosswalks. Do not jaywalk; drivers may not see you, especially at night.

Each year, thousands of international students and tourists come to Toronto just like you. You do not have to be in constant worry or fear when living, studying, or working in a different city or environment. You can have a good time wherever you go as long as you are alert and aware of what is happening around you. We want you to experience the many great things Toronto has to offer and to take those memories safely home to share with your friends and family.

If there is ever anything that you need to talk to someone about, you can always talk to someone at school: your teacher, a counsellor or Student Services. They are there to help you. Don’t be afraid to talk to them.

The school you are enrolled in has applied to host international students under the new International Student Program. To do so, the Government of Canada requires that your school be designated by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (the “Ministry”), and for the designation to be renewed at regular intervals.

As part of the designation and renewal processes under the International Student Program, the Ministry will conduct a site assessment to verify the information in your school’s application with respect to its educational policies and procedures for all students. As part of the site assessment, the Ministry will need to review a representative sample of student records, such as student contracts, registration forms, records of enrollment, documents pertaining to academic assessment and progress, and other documents contained in the student file. This is to ensure that your school has implemented educational policies and procedures for both its international and domestic students. As such, the Ministry may need to make copies of student records in order to complete the designation process, which requires student consent to access the personal information you have provided to the school.

Your institution will also be required to share enrollment information and reporting with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) as a condition of being a designated institution approved under the International Student Program.

By signing below;

you give consent to the Ministry to collect your personal information from your school and use it for the purposes outlined above; and

you consent to share your attendance information with the CIC for the purposes of the International Student Program.

The Ministry collects and uses this information under the authority of s. 38(2) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (Canada) and its Regulations. Questions about the collection, use and disclosure of this information may be addressed to:
