CCBC 2024 Canadian Education Mission to China

In 2024, Canadian Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) are navigating new challenges in school partnerships and student recruitment in China. Recent announcements from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) about study permit application caps, provincial attestation letter (PAL) processes, and changes to post-graduate work permits and spousal work permit eligibility have introduced uncertainties. Though still a top destination for Chinese students, Canada now faces intense competition from the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Asian countries. To maintain their competitive edge, Canadian educational institutions must actively engage with their Chinese counterparts.

From November 13-15, CCBC will lead the 2024 Canadian Education Mission to China for delegates from Canadian universities, colleges, high schools, language centres, and educational service companies. The Mission will include meetings with counterparts from Chinese universities, colleges, high schools, educational service companies, and Chinese officials from affiliated organizations of the Ministry of Education. Two routes are planned for school visits and meetings on November 13 and 14, focusing on school partnerships and recruitments across 12 destinations. On November 15, CCBC will host the 2024 Canada Education Forum, inviting representatives from Chinese universities, colleges, high schools, and education agencies across China to engage with Mission delegates.

The three-day program will also encompass CCBC’s 46th AGM and Business Forum. Furthermore, local educational service companies will provide opportunities for Canadian schools to hold mini-education fairs at their facilities in the days following the Mission.
