Why the Community Loves SPRACHCAFFE Canada

For courses under six months, most nationalities can study in Canada with a tourist visa or an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), depending on your country of origin. A study permit is usually not required for short-term language courses.

However, visa requirements can change, so we strongly recommend checking with the official Canadian immigration website or your local embassy before booking. If you need support with documents for your visa application, we are happy to provide an enrolment confirmation and assistance upon request.

No, our short-term language programmes for adults are not eligible for a work permit. These courses are intended for educational and cultural experiences only, so part-time work is not permitted.
