ILAC (International Language Academy of Canada) announced yesterday that it has ceased all operations effective immediately and filed for bankruptcy protection. KPMG has been appointed as the Licensed Insolvency Trustee.
ILAC was one of Canada's largest private language schools, running for over 30 years in Toronto and Vancouver. They offered ESL programs, IELTS and CELPIP prep courses, university pathway programs, and general English training.
Their statement cites "significant regulatory changes affecting the sector" over the past three years. All classes and programming were cancelled immediately.
If you were enrolled in an ILAC language prep program (IELTS, CELPIP, etc.), you'll want to look into alternative prep options quickly, especially if you have a test date coming up or need scores for an immigration deadline. Keep all your enrollment documents and receipts for any refund claims through the KPMG bankruptcy process.
If you were on a study permit through ILAC, contact IRCC through a web form to explain your situation. Your study permit is tied to your DLI, so you may need to transfer to another designated institution to maintain your status.
