How to pay less

• Look at the placement fee: host family placement costs CA$205–CA$350, paid once, so it weighs more on short stays.
• Stay longer: at CLLC Toronto the weekly price falls from CA$265 (4 weeks) to CA$245 (24 weeks).
• Choose fewer lessons if that suits you: OHC Toronto's Core course (15 lessons a week) costs CA$1,680 for 4 weeks, against CA$1,800 for OHC Plus (20 lessons).
• Book through LanguageBookings: you get our discount on the course, you pay nothing upfront (your card is only authorised for the deposit, which is charged when the school confirms; the rest you pay to the school), and if you find the same course cheaper under the same conditions, we match the price.
