Reach the English level your permanent residence application requires — without waiting until you're in Canada, and without losing a year to a language school.
You have the experience. You have the plan. But your English level decides what happens next — and the usual options aren't built for you:
Most government-funded language classes are reserved for permanent residents. If permanent residence is exactly what you're applying for, you're going in circles: you need the English to get the status, and the status to get the classes.
In-person language programs are counted in terms and in thousands of dollars, on site, at fixed hours. When your file is moving and you still live abroad, it simply isn't an option.
Duolingo and the rest teach general English. Not the exact format your application requires. Not in French. Not the traps specific to francophones. You show up for the test and lose points you can't afford.
If you qualify for free government language training, start there — that is the right door. Prépara exists for the people those programs cannot serve.
The target is set by the immigration program you're applying under, not by us. The assessment establishes where you are today — you only pay for the levels between the two.
The required level is set by the immigration program you are applying under — check it in your application. We take you to the target you give us.
Sign up in 2 minutes and pick the level you need to reach.
Secure online payment. The deposit applies toward your total cost — after that you only pay for the levels you need to climb.
Right after payment, a placement assessment (~15 min) measures your level across the 4 skills. You get your level and your personalized plan.
20 to 60 minutes per day, targeted to the exact format of your official test. By the end of the session, you're ready to take the test and submit your score to your program or IRCC.
We also tell you what other options do well. Honest comparison.

Yes — it's actually ideal. You can follow the whole session from your country while your application moves forward. You arrive in Canada with your level already achieved, without having lost time waiting for it.
Because most government-funded language classes are reserved for permanent residents. If permanent residency is exactly what you're aiming for, you're in a closed loop: you need the English level to get the status, and the status to get the classes. Prépara exists for that moment.
It depends on the immigration program you're applying under. Once enrolled, we identify the exact test accepted for your application and build your path around that specific format. It's included in your registration.
Between 20 minutes and 1 hour per day. The more time you put in, the faster you progress. The program adapts to your life schedule.
Registration is $500 CAD, then $450 per level you need to climb: you only pay for the levels between you and your target (two levels is $1,400 in total; three levels, $1,850). The exact number is set by your placement assessment, which you take as soon as you register — the deposit unlocks it immediately, and the per-level amount is invoiced once the assessment is complete.
Yes, at any time — write to us at bonjour@monprepara.ca, no explanation needed. As long as you have not started your assessment, the $500 is refunded in full. Once the assessment is done it stays yours: that is precisely what the $500 pays for. The per-level amount is refunded pro rata for the weeks you have left (amount ÷ 12 weeks × weeks not attended). We process all refunds within 10 days.
There are no live classes. But behind the app, a real teaching team follows your cohort: it writes and checks the content and the corrections, and follows up with you personally if you fall behind. That is what makes a genuinely individual plan possible for every person — even at 50 participants.
No. Prépara brings you to the English level you're aiming for; the decision on your application belongs to the Government of Canada, and nobody else can promise it to you. Your official level comes from the test you take, not from us — be wary of anyone who guarantees you an immigration outcome.
If you seriously complete the program (at least 80% of exercises) and don't reach your target in 12 weeks, we extend your access free until you do. Our interest is aligned with yours.
Create your account, pay your $500 deposit, and take your placement assessment right away. You get your level and your personalized plan. Classes start August 30, 2026.
