#AskMNLCT: Achieve Your Goals Through English Language Learning

Are you struggling with your English? Is your lack of language skills hindering your career prospects? How about a program that is offered absolutely for free, which you can enrol in at anytime?

Our government-funded Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) Program could be the perfect choice for you.

On May 5, 2021, specialists from our adult English-language education program talked about new online classes being offered in real-time and how MNLCT’s LINC program is empowering newcomers to learn English through their own personal and employment stories by collaborating on ground-breaking initiatives with the Department of Imaginary Affairs.

Mathura Mahendren – Department of Imaginary Affairs’ Program Manager

We are sharing an update on the technical issues MNLC is experiencing.

When the issue was first identified, it appeared to be a technical disruption with one of our systems. Through further investigation, we confirmed that the technical issue was the result of a malicious cybersecurity incident.

Since then, we have been working closely with external cybersecurity experts to understand what happened, contain the incident, and secure our systems.

Based on what we know so far, we have not found evidence that clients’ personal information has been accessed. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are continuing to assess the full scope. If we determine that anyone’s personal information has been affected, we will contact those individuals directly.

We know this disruption has made it harder to reach us, and we are sorry for the frustration and concern this may have caused—especially for the newcomers, refugees, and others in our community who rely on our services. We understand that privacy, safety, and access to support are especially important, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Our phone and email systems remain temporarily unavailable as we take the necessary steps to restore them safely. In the meantime, you can continue to reach us at the temporary emails listed below for urgent matters, or visit us in person.

As a precaution, we encourage everyone to be cautious of unexpected emails, phone calls, or messages claiming to be from our organization. We will not ask for sensitive personal information through unofficial channels.

We will continue to share updates as we learn more.

Thank you for your patience and trust. We are actively addressing the incident and strengthening our systems to better protect the people we serve.
