2021 Education Partner Symposium
Getting International Education Back on Track
There is no question that the past year has been incredibly difficult for students in and outside of Canada. Travel restrictions, pivoting to virtual learning, and changing life goals have forced students to re-evaluate their choices.
Immigration consultants play a valuable role in this process, as they help guide their clients through the recruitment and immigration process. The Education Partner Program (EPP) helps consultants securely recruit students and grow their businesses, while offering DLIs the chance to expand recruitment beyond traditional markets.
The Educational Partner Symposium is an event that allows EPP members and partner DLIs an opportunity to discuss, connect, and explore what lays ahead for international students.
Next level student recruitment. Attendees will include representatives from the government, educational institutions, student associations and industry experts. Join us at this year’s Symposium and take your knowledge of international student recruitment to a whole new level.
