Study or Work in a Francophone Community: “Explore” and “Odyssey” Online Information Sessions

January 16, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 11:30 am

If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident looking for a trusted and respected Canadian program to learn French or English, look no further. Join the Official Languages Programs on January 16 at 11:00-11:30AM, 2:00-2:30PM, or 5:00-5:30PM on Zoom to learn about two amazing government-funded opportunities to become bilingual in a francophone community across Canada:

Explore is a 5-week intensive French-immersion program during the spring and summer for students who are looking to learn or improve their French through cultural, social, and travel experiences. All tuition fees, lodging, meals, instructional materials, workshops, and cultural activities are covered.

Odyssey is a 9-month paid contract as a language assistant in a classroom setting for approximately 25 hours per week (September-May). You will earn approximately $27/hr, holiday pay, plus allowances for training sessions and return trips home (if over 200km). You will have the opportunity to practice your French-speaking skills while helping students learn English.
