Event description
Organized by Keibunsha, a publisher of study-abroad magazines and an organizer of study abroad event in Japan, with the assistance of the Embassy of Canada to Japan, the Study in Canada promotion events consist of four major parts:
- Canadian institution information published on the campaign website (in Japanese only) for 12 months.
- Keibunsha and the Embassy of Canada to Japan will host a joint B2B session networking luncheon at the Embassy on March 19, 2025
- 1 day/5 hours in-person Study in Canada Fair in Tokyo, March 20, 2025 (Thursday, Japanese national holiday)
- 1 day/5 hours in-person Study in Canada Fair in Osaka, March 22, 2025 (Saturday)
In Japan, there are only a few recruitment fairs for Canadian institutions to join at this moment. This is the only Canada-focused recruitment fair of this size in Japan this fall.
Canadian institutions will have the opportunity to provide detailed information to interested students and parents in Japan. Each Canadian representative can be accompanied by an interpreter, arranged by the organizer, to facilitate communication amongst the institutions and Japanese participants. Participants will learn general information on studying abroad in Canada from various seminars presented by Embassy representatives, including a representative from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The campaign website (in Japanese only) for this event will be open for 12 months, to allow continued access to the information of the Canadian institutions.
Please note that this is not an EduCanada busines-to-business (B2B) event. You will require a separate registration for the EduCanada B2B event to be held on March 19, 2025.
