WELARC
Winnipeg English Language Assessment and Referral Centre
At WELARC, we help newcomers access language classes. We can refer you to English or French classes where you can work on improving your language skills for work, education, and life in Canada.
We use the Canadian Language Benchmark Placement Test (CLBPT) and the Batterie de tests de classement des niveaux de compétence linguistiques canadiens (BTC-NCLC).
Our Mission: WELARC is the first step towards newcomers unlocking their full potential.
Our Vision: Conducting language assessments and making referrals to help empower newcomers to develop the skills to forge connections and bridge gaps so they can build their strongest future in their new home.
