Programs

All Canadian International Services programs start with the interests and needs of our clients. This includes the ages of the students or other program participants, their levels of English speaking abilities, the time they have available to spend in Canada, and their specific areas of study. From that starting point, we design a tailored itinerary or service, working closely with the client until we arrive at a final program.

For example, Canadian International Services has:

• Delivered English as a Second Language (ESL) homestay programs for high school students from Japan and Taiwan, for the past 21 years;
• Worked extensively with teachers and school administrators from China, providing instruction in teaching methodology and school leadership. It conducted many study tours for senior teachers from Beijing that introduced them to all levels of education in Canada from Elementary through to University;
• Provided mentoring programs where individual teachers from China were placed with senior teachers in Canadian high schools to study teaching methodology. Following their stay in Canada they would return to China to share what they learned with teachers in their school district;
• Offered leadership training with York University for school principals from China, Sri Lanka, and Kuwait;
• Arranged a variety of high school placements for foreign students, and acted as guardians for those students during their period of study in Canada; and
• Written five hundred English language lessons as film scripts, which were produced by a television company for use at all grade levels nationally in China.
