The Canadian embassy in Qatar has announced that the annual EduCanada Fair will take place on October 14 with a large virtual group of 60 Canadian universities and colleges.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s event will take place virtually on an advanced platform that mimics a traditional fair and allows for direct interaction with recruiters and representatives from schools.
The aim of the EduCanada Fair is to promote study opportunities in Canada, the embassy has said in a statement. Prospective students and parents in Qatar can learn about education options in Canada and interact virtually with a diverse mix of institutions from across Canada.
Questions related to the admission process, programmes of study, campus life and visas will be addressed.
Canadian ambassador to Qatar Stefanie McCollum said: “The embassy is keen to promote Canada as a study destination to students and parents here in Qatar. This year’s virtual format allows for double the number of institutions compared to previous years.”
She said “Canada consistently ranks as one of the best countries in the world to live, and our schools offer academic qualifications respected around the world. I am proud to say that the ‘warm and friendly’ stereotype about Canadians is true. When you come to Canada, you will find a welcoming country with a unique Canadian culture that embraces diversity. Canada is considered one of the safest countries in the world for international students.”
Students and parents are invited to participate in the EduCanada Virtual Fair on October 14, from 5pm-9pm.
