Canada Expands Educational Outreach in PH for International Students
Canadian institutions are strengthening their presence in the Philippines to better assist Filipino applicants pursuing education in Canada. Here are the key developments:
Why the Philippines?
- The Philippines ranks among the top countries for Canadian study permit approvals, reflecting strong interest in Canadian education.
- Canadian schools are responding by establishing representative offices aimed at providing information and support directly in the country. This has already led to noticeable increases in applications.
Outreach Events and Support
- School representatives from several Canadian colleges and universities (such as Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Trent University, Douglas College, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and Algonquin College) have held information sessions in cities like Cebu and Bohol. These events offer personalized guidance and visa-related orientation to prospective students..
Enhanced Collaboration
- Educational partnerships between Philippine and Canadian institutions are deepening. Notably, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has inked agreements with British Columbia to promote academic exchange in areas such as nursing, aviation, innovation, maritime education, and Indigenous Peoples’ studies.
