Is Toronto a safe city for international students?

Toronto is widely regarded as a safe and welcoming city for international students. It consistently ranks among the safest large cities in North America, with low levels of violent crime and strong community policing. Most areas, especially those around major universities and colleges, are secure and well-connected by public transit. Like any major city, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings and take basic precautions, particularly at night or in less busy areas.

Can I work while studying English in Toronto?

Generally, international students from the EU studying an English course in Toronto cannot work. Canadian regulations only allow work for students enrolled full-time in programmes that lead to a diploma, degree, or certificate. Our English language programmes usually do not meet these requirements. If you’re not sure whether you can work while studying, ask one of our expert advisors, and they’ll look into your specific situation.
