In the winter months from December to March, many parts of Canada receive abundant snowfall, and people enjoy winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. Winter festivals across the country celebrate the season with snow sculptures and winter activities like tobogganing. In the spring, Canada’s cities come alive as temperatures start to rise.

LSI its a FAMILY and I am proud to say that I am part of this amazing community! They have the best professionals, who give us everything we need to became fluent and secure with the language, and to keep improving after our time there. In my experience in Vancouver I had Kevin as director, hes the best! Hes an amazing professional who gave me the support that I needed with Linda ( my teacher, who I consider my Canadian mother) to became a Cambridge student and have success in my professional life! After two years that Ive been there, Kevin and Sallie , from LSI in London were extremely kind and professional to help me solving a problem and I can say that I became even more fan of LSI than I was before( if it was possible)They showed a genuine concern for their students, a magnificent teamwork, impeccable professionalism and organisation beside all the kindness they had with me. I not only extremely recommend, I must to say: LSI is THE BEST school, with the best professionals I have ever met!Thank you very much for everything Kevin, Linda, Sallie...
