Postponement: 

Students who wish to postpone the start of a course must notify BLI in advance. Upon notification, we will issue a new letter of acceptance for a later date, and we will not apply any additional charges.

Cancellations: 

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing through mail, fax, or e-mail, stating the intention to withdraw from the registered program. Please note that the registration and accommodation placement fees are non-refundable. However, if a student needs to cancel the program due to visa refusal, all money already paid, excluding the registration and accommodation fee, will be reimbursed. Note that BLI needs to receive the original Canadian refusal letter. To qualify for reimbursement, students must meet the following guidelines.

Before the program start date: 

a) Less than ten days after your registration: 100% of the tuition fee. 
b) 31 days or more before the program starts: 70% of the tuition fee. 
c) If the student cancels less than 30 days before the program start date: 60% of the tuition fee.

After the program start date: 

a) Between 1-10% of the program: 50% of the tuition fee. 
b) Between 11 – 24% of the program: 30% of the tuition fee. 
c) 25% or more of the program: 0% of the tuition fee.

Students may upgrade their program, but downgrading is not permitted. For instance, if a student wants to decrease the number of lessons per week, they must cancel the current program and reapply for the preferred schedule, and a cancellation policy will apply. Students with a BLI study permit in Canada forfeit the right to any refunds.

Homestay Refund: 

The homestay placement fee is non-refundable. If a student wishes to change their homestay, they must provide two weeks' written notice to the homestay coordinator. We will refund 100% of the unused homestay fee.

Time to Process Refund: 

If eligible for a refund as per the conditions mentioned above, we reimburse students within 60 to 90 working days after they have submitted the written notice of cancellation.

Please note that the registration and accommodation fees are non-refundable under any circumstance.

Language:

To maximize language practice during their studies in Canada, students must adhere to the English/French-only policy implemented at BLI. This policy demands that students communicate exclusively in the language they are studying to enhance their language proficiency.

Breaking these rules will result in the following penalties:

1st offense: Warning 
2nd offense: One-day suspension 
3rd offense: Three days suspension 
4th offense: Five days suspension 
5th offense: One session suspension 
6th offense: Official suspension from the school

Students are encouraged to strictly follow the English/French-only policy to benefit from their language-learning experience.
