About Langara College

Ask a Langara student why they picked a small public college over a big-name university, and the answer is usually the transfer credit: two years here, then straight into third year at UBC, SFU, or another top BC university – without paying university tuition for first- and second-year courses. Langara College has built its reputation on exactly that pathway.

Founded in 1994 as an independent public college on Vancouver’s east side, Langara now welcomes close to 19,000 students a year, including thousands of international students from nearly 100 countries. It offers more than 150 university-transfer, career, and degree programs across arts, science, business, and health.

As the best consultancy in Nepal for Canada, Goreto Consultancy has guided Nepali students through the Langara application process – from eligibility to visa – and this page covers what you need to know before you apply. You can also check Langara’s own official website for the latest program and fee details.
