English course added in aid of immigration in Canada's Bathurst

In order to help newcomers, an English course for immigrants is being offered in Bathurst with the bill going to Immigration Canada, meaning that newcomers won’t have to pay for the course.

This applies to all newcomers to Bathurst, a city in New Brunswick, who have obtained permanent resident status in Canada.

The course will be offered on the Youghall campus at The New Brunswick Community College (NBCC).

This brand new English program that supports immigration to Canada has been introduced by the NBCC last week on the 16th of April at a news conference held at the school as it celebrated 20 years of language training.

The news conference was held in order to remind the public of current services and to introduce this new service for northern New Brunswick.

Said coordinator of the NBCC language training centre, Nicole Poirier: "These services have been offered for a while in the southern part of the province and we started this program to really help newcomers who have the permanent resident status to adapt to our region".

Thanks to the latest service via Immigration Canada, newcomers are excited about the prospect of improving their English language skills for free.

"We are learning for free since last October," said Heeyoun Shin, an immigrant that has left Korea four years ago. "This is good."

Poirier said language training has been available at NBCC Bathurst for more than 20 years and over the years, even more services have been added.

"We've had two programs that have been offered here for the last 20 years. We offer English and French intensive programs that start in September and go until the month of April. If somebody has the goal of becoming bilingual, that's the way to go."

She said that the college eventually added night classes and on-site training for some local businesses as well, as they're aware of the fact that not everyone can always do a full-time program.

In addition to that, NBCC also offers customised courses for people that may not fit in with the programs that they offer in the evenings.
