Permanent Residents will take the test or get a re-referral through the Language Assessment and Referral Centre (LARC) and Temporary Residents and Canadian Citizens though the Provincial Language Assessments and Referral Services (PLARS).

- Register your child if you need free childcare while in class: Bring your child’s birth certificate, passport, and landing papers as well as health records when you register yourself for class at the ELC.
All our classes are led by qualified instructors and adhere to national standards for English language instruction. Needs-based and outcomes-driven, our language training provides students with functional English language skills for successful settlement and integration, including employment-readiness, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and Canada.
