21FAQ
Q1 What is the Canadian Pathway Program?
The Canadian Pathway Program is a direct entry English program into a college or
university in Canada that EC has a pathway agreement with. Students must take
our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program to be eligible for direct entry
with one of EC’s partner institutions. This way, there is no requirement for IELTS
or equivalent test.
Q2 How many weeks do you need to study to enter a university or college?
Depending on the student’s current English level, they may need 10, 20 or 30
weeks. Before starting their Canadian Pathways/EAP course, we recommend
students take a few additional weeks of General English to revise their English,
while settling into their new surroundings.
Q3 Is there an English test?
There are 2 ways that students may enter Canadian Pathways/EAP:
1. Take our EC online test so our admissions team can assess how many
weeks of EAP a student needs to reach their desired entry level for one
of our pathway partners, or
2. Present a recent IELTS test (or acceptable equivalent) to prove their
current English ability.
Q4 What is the timetable like in Canadian Pathways/EAP?
The Canadian Pathways/EAP Program is offered as Semi-Intensive or Intensive,
giving students a total of 18 hours per week or 22.5 hours per week, respectively,
5 days per week. Please note that timetables are subject to change, so for current
timetables please refer to partners.ecenglish.com or get in touch with your local
EC representative.
Q5 Is it possible to take another English course before Canadian Pathways/EAP?
Yes. Students may take any number of other English courses entering
Canadian Pathways/EAP.
Q6 Are there specific start dates for the Canadian Pathways/EAP?
Yes. Toronto and Vancouver have start dates every month.
Please refer to either ecenglish.com or partners.ecenglish.com for start dates.
