Event description
The Canadian Trade Commissioner Service at the High Commission of Canada to Sri Lanka and the Maldives would like to invite you to join the EduCanada delegation to Sri Lanka, which will be held from October 6 to 7, 2024 in Colombo.
The delegation will feature a "Study in Canada" student recruitment fair, business-to-business (B2B) meetings with local higher education institutions to explore academic collaboration opportunities that would enable student, faculty, and researcher mobility, B2B meetings with local agents, an information session on study permits, and "Study in Canada" seminars at local schools.
This initiative offers a unique opportunity for institutions aiming to attract prospective students from Sri Lanka who are interested in Canadian programs.
The High Commission of Canada will host a full-day exhibition (which will be open to the public), designed to enhance Canada's brand as a premier study-abroad destination and support Canadian universities and colleges in their recruitment goals. This event will allow Canadian educational institutions to showcase their course offerings, scholarships, student experiences, accessibility, affordability, and career opportunities to prospective students across Canada.
