The sudden closure of ILAC has had a significant impact on students, instructors, staff, families, education agents, and the broader international education community in Canada.
ISS Language & Career College of BC (LCC) recognizes the uncertainty and disruption this has created for everyone affected. Our thoughts are with the ILAC community during this difficult transition.
What affected ILAC students need to know closure
Languages Canada is coordinating support for students enrolled in ILAC language programs through its Education Completion Assurance Plan (eCAP).
The organization is working with accredited member institutions to identify available capacity and help affected students continue the education they have already paid for.
Students affected by the closure are encouraged to:
- Check their email, including spam and junk folders, for communications from Languages Canada.
- Follow the instructions Languages Canada provides regarding their placement.
- Continue checking official Languages Canada communications for the latest updates and next steps.
Because the situation continues to evolve, Languages Canada should remain the primary source of information regarding placements and support for affected students.
Standing with the international education community
The closure has highlighted the disruption students can face when their studies are unexpectedly interrupted.
LCC stands in solidarity with the students, educators, staff, families, and education partners affected by the ILAC closure and with the broader international education community during this transition.
As a Languages Canada-accredited institution, we remain committed to providing a welcoming and supportive environment where students can work toward their language, education, and career goals.
