As a newcomer to Canada, learning English is one of the most important things you can do to help feel at home in your new community.
Our Language Assessments and English Classes are free to newcomers to Canada 17 years old or older who are Permanent Resident, Refugee or on a confirmed pathway to Permanent Residency.
The test assesses your ability to listen, speak, read, and write English. KIS follows the Canadian Language Benchmarks Placement Test (CLBPT). The CLBPT takes approximately 1½ -2 hours in total. The results of your test will help determine which class level you will be the most comfortable to participate in. The results can also be used for placement into workplace training programs with a language component.
Tests are offered in-person bi-monthly and online during COVID-19.
