What to Do and How to Apply?
- How it works:
1. We, YUMICA Adventures Co., as an agent of an ESL/college/university
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada recommend designated educational
institutions, which match your demands. We hold good discount
rates for both groups and individuals.
2. You have to transfer a fixed amount of money (usually a registration
fee as of 100/250 CAD depending on school) to an
educational institution in British Columbia or to us. The sum is later
reduced from the tuition fee.
3. ESL/college/university in British Columbia sends a ‘Letter
of Acceptance’ to you as a confirmation of payment.
4. You get visa form the Canadian Consulate. The fee is CAD $ 75 or ¥ 6.400.
5. You pay the rest of the tuition/home-stay fees, or you may bring
the funds with you on arrival.
6. You purchase air-plain tickets and, well, arrive in Vancouver.
ESL/college/university representatives meet you at the airport and
transport you to school. There the host families pick you up to go
to their houses. Or, you are placed at the dormitory.

- Our comments: Many schools and colleges offer a variety of activities apart from instructing like sports, games, sightseeing, etc. However we did customize it, and YUMICA Adventures Co. comes up with our own Entertainment Programme, which includes tourism, sightseeing, leisure activities, etc.
-
A home-stay is a unique opportunity to learn expressing yourself in
English in relaxed atmosphere. There, you’ll also have a three-day
meal (including lunch, which you take to studies). You’ll be
staying in a separate room. To reduce expenses it is also possible
to live-in with a mate, friend, or sibling.
