The McGill School of Continuing Studies is now offering free English and French language courses to forcibly displaced individuals and refugees. If you are a forcibly displaced individual or a refugee, we want to help you improve your language skills in either French or English to facilitate your integration in our local communities and increase your chances of finding a promising job.
We offer a free placement test and one free 6-week in-person group course in either English (all levels) or French (beginner level). These general language courses with a focus on oral communication are taught by experienced instructors from McGill.
Please note:
- Students can only take one free course
- Spaces are limited and will be offered to students based on availability and language level as determined by the placement test
