Vancouver Faces the Pacific. Spanish Connects You to What's South of It.

Vancouver is Canada's gateway to the Pacific — and to Latin America. The Port of Vancouver handles billions in trade with Mexican, Colombian, Chilean and Peruvian markets. Tech companies based in Vancouver, from Amazon's growing Canadian hub to Electronic Arts and a thriving startup scene, increasingly operate across Spanish-speaking territories.

Vancouver's film and creative industries have deep ties to Latin America — from co-productions and distribution to talent networks spanning Mexico, Argentina and Colombia. Spanish fluency opens those professional and creative relationships at a fundamentally different level.

British Columbia's outdoor and travel culture drives strong interest in Latin America — Peru's Inca Trail, Patagonia, the Galápagos, Costa Rica, Mexico. Canadians in Vancouver travel to Spanish-speaking countries more than anywhere else outside North America. Spanish transforms those experiences.

Vancouver is also one of Canada's most expensive cities — which means its professionals have both the income and the motivation to invest in premium private education. Online lessons mean no commuting across Vancouver traffic. One focused hour from your home in Kitsilano, East Van or North Shore.
