Story summary

ILAC, Canada's largest private language school, abruptly shut down and filed for bankruptcy protection on Friday, leaving 1,362 students in Toronto and Vancouver stranded. The school cited "significant regulatory changes affecting the sector" as a key reason for its financial struggles over the past three years. Students like José Carlos Chavez from Mexico are left confused and lost, with his upcoming two-year marketing program canceled just weeks before he was set to start. ILAC had campuses in both cities and offered various programs including English-language courses and college-level programs lasting up to two years. The school's notice states it has ceased operations due to a lack of financial resources.
