Many international students in Canada choose to study in French. You have a few different options in Ontario:

  • French-language institutions let you study entirely in French and prepare to work in your field in both French and English.
  • Bilingual institutions allow you to study fully or partially in French and take the required courses to graduate bilingual.
  • Most postsecondary institutions in Ontario offer French language courses. This is a good option if you want to improve your French, but aren’t interested in becoming bilingual.

Language requirements

If you choose a program that is taught in French, you may need to meet proficiency requirements. Some programs expect you to complete a Test for Evaluating French. Check with your institution to find out more.
