Canadian Education Centre Network
Canadian Education Centre (CEC) Network is a private, independent non-profit company that was founded in 1995 with support from the Government of Canada to promote and market Canada as a study destination for international students and as a world-class provider of education services.
We carry out our mandate through our 13 Canadian Education Centres across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. These centres provide international students with materials and application forms for hundreds of Canadian schools, counselling to identify the institutions and programs that best meet their needs, and pre-departure orientations to help prepare them for life in Canada. Our centres host Canadian education fairs and other events that bring potential students in direct contact with Canadian education institutions. Centres also perform outreach to local schools and agents, and gather market intelligence.
We provide support to Canadian education institutions through our overseas offices and our Canadian office in Vancouver. We also host an annual International Education Conference, an industry forum for Canadian education marketing professionals, and an annual Agent Fair to bring together international education agents and Canadian schools.
We produce StudyCanada.ca, the ultimate international student website providing information to students in 15 languages, and we publish hard copy guides and magazines promoting Canadian education. We lobby the government for changes to policies in support of Canada's international education industry.
CEC Network hosts the annual Go Abroad Fair in Toronto and Vancouver. Exhibitors at the event showcase opportunities for Canadian students and youth to take on the world through study abroad, work and volunteer opportunities, cultural and language programs and overseas adventure travel.
CEC Network has received the overwhelming support of Canada's international education community. Over 200 universities, university colleges, community colleges, technical institutes, career colleges, secondary schools, language schools and summer camps across Canada are members of CEC Network.
