Will I have access to tutors in the three languages?

Yes. It is our goal to facilitate life linguistic support in the three languages equally.

Is there a book that teaches you how to be trilingual?

We will soon publish the guidebook Trilingual Translation Training and Tricks, oriented to all ages. This book will guide your selflearning experience. More specifically your contact with online and AI languages learning tools.

In this website, they mention that there is a Canadian Trilingual Identity, experienced by those families that speak or learn Official and Heritage Languages. However, immigrants' identity is always defined by our ethnicity or cultural background...

Your linguistic identity (the way you individualy and collectively use languages) does not act against your ethnic or cultural identity. Instead, these different types of identity are complementary to each other. Remember, our Canadian Trilingual Identity is nothing else than a new sense of belonging. 

For the newcomer student, in an English speaking region, when is the best time to start with French Immersion?

As soon as the student is positevly adpted to the school routine and meets a satisfactory level of ESL.
