Language Instruction in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Fully immersed: Industry demand will grow as the population becomes more diverse

Over the past five years, language instruction centers in Canada have seen solid growth despite a dip in 2020 amid a drop in demand from the COVID-19 pandemic. The closing of borders and reduction in travel cut enrolment for language courses, but the release of pent-up demand led to a surge in revenue as the pandemic subsided. This demand came from Canadians returning from travel and new Canadians looking to learn French, English, or both. Digital transitions have been necessary for many instruction centers switching to remote teaching to comply with social distancing measures. Industry-wide revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 1.1% over the past five years and is expected to total $300.0 million in 2023, when revenue will grow by an estimated 3.8%.
