Why Canada Institute of Linguistics

For over thirty years, CanIL has been training mission-minded students with a heart to end Bible poverty for the millions of minority language speakers around the world. Our team of field- experienced faculty teach students linguistic tools that will help them make a lasting impact for people around the world.

Community

CanIL is not just a school, it’s a family made up of mission-minded students, teachers and staff. In addition to our regular weekly extracurricular activities, each month we enjoy sharing a meal together while listening to stories told by visiting alumni from all over the world. Students and staff also have opportunities to share their latest research during academic colloquiums.

Internships in Bible Translation

Apply what you have learned and further explore serving in Bible translation – intern in a field project with Wycliffe or another Bible translation organization. Earn credits toward your degree at the same time. Financial awards available.
