One of my best experiences in life. IH is a great school and helped me to improve my English but also to enjoy one of the most wonderful cities in the world with the school activities, that was really helpful since I was new in a foreign country.
When I was searching information to make the trip the agency adviced me to choose a smaller city because I wasn't accustomed to the noice and the traffic and many other things that they as an agency should say about it, but I really loved the experience and it wasn't difficult to feel like home.
I didn't regret to choose TO and people should experience it :P

IH is the best !!!
If you don't know where to go, or you are hesitating, stop searching ! this is the one !
IH staff helps you to improve your communication skills in english but also to feel good in this wonderful city. You meet a lot of amazing people ( like Carmen ) and you learn more about yourself and the world around you thanks to the panel of nationalities present.
For a few weeks or months, go to IH to enjoy your time in Toronto and learn useful english !

one word : wonderful !
Go to Canada and to study in IH was such a great idea !! I met a lot of people from all over the world, that's very interesting to mix cultures, and th best part is to have only one laguage to communicate !
That's awesome, teachers are close from their students, they listen to you, you make games to learn (the best way to memorize), you go out with the entire school ... I pent only 6 weeks over there and I would love to come back ... The courses and the activities are always funny and original !! You never bired ! So go in IH and enjoy this amazing school !!

I know choosing an school to study abroad is not easy to do, but I am pretty sure that I made a good decision with IH Toronto.
I attended to IH Toronto for 8 weeks last summer and I just can say that it was a wonderful experience. They were more than a Language School, they were like a big family. You can find everything there.. good friends, very good teachers, funny activities. In fact you will not miss anything from your country, actually you will miss IH Toronto when you leave the place, like me..
