LEAD | LINC Home Study: Our History

The LINC Home Study program started in 1995 as a pilot project in Halton region (Ontario) with funding from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. It engaged volunteer tutors and supported only 6 students. The success was palpable even in its early days because it served the identified needs of those newcomers who were unable to attend classroom LINC programs. Based on positive feedback and demonstrated results, funding for this program was extended, and in 1997, the program expanded to Peel region (Ontario).

By 2002, enrolment had increased to nearly 400 students and the program expanded to most regions of Ontario. The same year, the program launched its own online learning management system. Today, the enrolment stands at a whopping 1100 participants across Ontario, who are supported by nearly 80 teachers!

In 2008, LINC Home Study was piloted in three more provinces across Canada, and today it is offered in Alberta, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Saskatchewan, Newfoundland & Labrador and Prince Edward Island.
