An education in French? It is possible in Northwestern Ontario! There are two Francophone boards of education in the area (one is Catholic, the other public), as well as Anglophone boards that offer programs in immersion or core French. There are also adult education centres that offer training in French. For more information and brief descriptions on the differences between Francophone schools and schools with French immersion programs, please click here.
Self-Assessment Of Language Proficiency
The online self-assessment tool of the Canadian Language Benchmark Framework is a tool that enables you to assess your language proficiency in both national languages for free. The self-assessment does not replace an official language proficiency test but it will give you an idea of your linguistic ability before attempting an exam.
