teaching methodology. Our small classes (maximum 12
students) allow students to learn through speaking and direct
interaction in the classroom.

contract that states that pathway students must maintain a

not missing key elements of the program. Statistics have
proven that students who maintain this level of effort are

LLI Pathway
Process
• LLI will complete and assist students' applications to these Universities.
• Conditional letters of acceptance are available for undergraduate programs prior
to a students arrival in Canada. Conditions are based on the successful
completion of the Academic Preparation program. Students must meet the
“student contract” conditions in order to pass the Academic Preparation Program.
Students who do not complete our program may write a formal CAEL test in order
to receive their final acceptance.
• Acceptance into the University is truly based on a students academic
background
• Transcripts from high school and/or University/College are required so we can
screen the students pre-requisite courses. LLI will review electronic copies of
students high school transcripts. The transcripts must be translated officially into
English. Once a pre screening has taken place LLI will inform the student on what
university best suits their academic background. In the case that a student does
not meet the minimum academic standards the student will be notified
immediately.
• If a student does not have the academic average to meet admission into a
program they may enrol in our pathway program and take a General Arts and
Science course at Fanshawe College for 8 months. If a student attains a 80% plus
average they can then apply to university programs.
LLI Pathway
Process
• Processing Times: Once a student submits their academic
transcripts for screening they will be notified within 72
business hours of their opportunities. Students will have to
then send original or notarized copies of their transcripts to
LLI-Canada where we will complete the application and
forward to the university for review.
• Approximately 3-5 weeks latter the student will receive a
decision from the university. Successful applicants will receive
a conditional offer based on the completion of LLI’s Academic
Program (this may also include special testing benchmarks)
LLI Pathway
Process-Summary
• Submit transcripts and desired area of post secondary study
for review

application fees to university range from $50.00-$150.00 and

• 3-5 weeks latter the decision and letters of acceptance will be

CAEL Testing and Preparation
What is the CAEL Assessment?
• The Canadian Academic English Assessment (CAEL) is a
standardized test of English in use for academic purposes,
designed to describe the level of English language test takers
planning to study in English-medium colleges and universities.
• CAEL is recognized across Canada as a benchmark
examination to illustrate English language proficiency. The
CAEL test is growing rapidly and is now being accepted at
some institutions in the United States.
What is the CAEL Assessment?
• It offers a unique alternative to other standardized tests of
English because it is an integrated, task-based test on one
topic
• Test takers read articles, listen to a lecture, answer questions and
write a short essay-all on one subject, as they would be expected
to do in a first year university or college classroom
• This exam is 2.5 hours in length and is very test "friendly"
CAEL Assessment Preparation
Program
• LLI is proud to offer a preparation program for students
hoping to pass the official CAEL test.
• LLI offers two levels of study,
• Pre-CAEL Assessment
• CAEL Assessment Preparation (intermediate and advanced).
