Toronto

Toronto is Canada’s largest city. It is the nation’s business and cultural capital. Toronto has a population of five million—one sixth of total population. The climate is warm in summer but temperatures fall well below 0°C in winter. It’s quite a bit colder than Vancouver. Toronto is said to be the most multicultural city on the planet—over 140 languages are spoken. It's estimated that over half of Toronto's residents were born outside Canada. When the weather is fine, Toronto is a vibrant city buzzing with activity. Winter in Toronto can be challenging.

The Language House likes

We once sent a student in a wheelchair to ILAC. There was a problem with access. The school immediately widened a doorway so the student could move about as freely as possible. That’s the ILAC and the Canadian way: If we can help, we will do our best immediately.
