The benefits of embracing a gap year program in Canada
A gap year abroad involves taking time off between life stages, such as high school and college, or before starting a career, to travel, work, volunteer, or study in a different country. It's an enriching experience that allows you to step out of your comfort zones, explore new cultures, and gain valuable life skills. And we can’t think of a more inspiring place to do this than in Canada!
With its welcoming environment and diverse communities, the country provides an ideal setting for both adventure and immersing yourself in the English language. With Kaplan's gap year program in Canada, you can engage with native speakers, participate in cultural activities, and experience everyday life in an English-speaking environment, ensuring a rewarding and memorable year.
Gap year programs can last up to a year or be as short as five months (a semestar abroad). The choice is yours depending on your goals!
