Top Four Reasons to Join

Connect with One of Canada's Most Established Student Markets

Connect with One of Canada's Most Established Student Markets.

According to Languages Canada's 2025 Annual Survey, South Korea remains one of Canada's most important source markets for language education, sending over 7,000 students to Languages Canada members. The Asian country now ranks third in student numbers, up from fifth place in the previous annual survey.

In addition, Korean students boast a study permit approval rate of nearly 100% and benefit from visa-free travel to Canada for programs of up to six months, requiring only an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

With strong demand for international education and longstanding ties to Canada, South Korea continues to offer valuable opportunities for institutions seeking to strengthen and diversify their recruitment efforts.
