Languages Canada reports that over 13% of Canada’s accredited language education programs were shut down in the first quarter of 2025, reducing the number of accredited official language programs to its lowest since 2011. The closures follow a series of changes to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s International Student Program that, while aimed at addressing broader issues like housing, have disproportionately impacted official language programs. Languages Canada reports that the remaining programs are facing reduced enrolment and financial instability, despite their positive impact on international student success.
