In Ontario, the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) program is generally offered in English. However, you can also attend a French program. The French program is called "Cours de langue pour les immigrants au Canada (CLIC)." Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) funds both the LINC and CLIC programs. The closest CLIC program to Brantford is offered by College Boreal in Hamilton.
