CCBC, Universities Canada, and York University discussed this important issue in a live webinar on June 24 at 10 am EST.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With virtual courses likely to be a reality in the fall, there are many challenges that lie ahead for universities as they appeal to international students to remain committed to a Canadian educational experience. Chinese students, more specifically, make up the largest group of international students and Global Affairs Canada estimates that international students added $21.6 billion dollars to the Canadian economy in 2018 and the creation of 170,000 jobs. Canadian universities, and by extension the Canadian economy, have long enjoyed and benefited from the contributions made by Chinese students on campuses and within our communities. Is there a shared branding opportunity to ensure Canada remains a top destination for Chinese students pursuing their post-secondary education degree? These issues, as well as recommendations for how the CCBC and post-secondary institutions can work together, were addressed during the webinar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CCBC Webinar: The Future of Canada as a Top Destination for Chinese Students Post COVID-19\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uGQlJPdG9fw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>*Please note that David C.
