Joining LINC:

To register for LINC classes at TIES, you must first complete an English language test and get a referral form. The English test determines which level of class you are ready for. These are your Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) in reading, writing, listening and speaking.  

To register for your English Assessment:

• All English Assessments in Calgary are completed at the Calgary Language Assessment & Referral Centre (CLARC) by Immigrant Services Calgary (ISC)  

• To book your test, please register online here:  https://www.immigrantservicescalgary.ca/clarcregistration/ and let them know you are interested in taking classes at The Immigrant Education Society (TIES)

• Due to the large number of English tests CLARC is currently offering, the wait time for your appointment will be 55 business days after you contact CLARC. The team at CLARC is very sorry for the wait and thank you for your patience.
