School Introduction Vancouver English Centre is located in downtown Vancouver, near shopping malls, football and hockey stadiums, parks and the main library. VEC is registered with the Private Post-Secondary Education commission of British Columbia and the Canadian Association of Private Language Schools ( CAPLS ). Our spacious, open environment promotes interaction, information and social activities. You can sit in the large open dining hall and watch news on our large "video walls", or catch up on your email in one of our four student computer labs. VEC has developed linkage programs with Colleges and universities in USA and Canada. Students who complete uninterrupted, full-time programs of 24 weeks or longer at VEC are eligible for a 4-week scholarship at our school located in Guadalajara Mexico, where they can study either Spanish or English.

Practice your English, while gaining experience in a Canadian workplace, with our Business Internship Program. Vancouver English Centre encourages English language students from all over the world to enjoy a cultural immersion experience in Canada.
