FAQ

Before you start

How do I become a E-QIP student?

Get started by filling out this form or sending us an email at hello@eqip123.com.

Before starting classes, prospective students are asked to complete a quick language placement. This will allow us to determine your level and find the learning path that best suits you.

Is there a Registration fee?

A one time $50 registration fee applies per student to make sure the onboarding is smooth.

Do I need a visa to study at E-QIP?

Canadian students

Canadian students and permanent residents do not need to do any special paperwork to enroll in E-QIP.

Foreign students

In general, visitors to Canada can study at E-QIP for up to 6 months without a study permit. Please note that E-QIP cannot assist in obtaining study permits (which are needed for study periods of 6 months or more). We invite you to read the terms that apply to your case on the following websites:
