Canada - Where the World Comes to Study 

 The Canadian Education Centre (CEC) Network is a nonprofit company that  has   been promoting and marketing Canada as a study destination for  international students and a world-class provider of education services since 1995. The CEC Network has 17 Canadian Education Centres in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam. These Centres provide international students with materials and applications forms for hundreds of Canadian schools, counselling to identify the programs and institutions that will best meet their needs and pre-departure orientations to help them prepare for Canada. 

The CEC Network is also very active in the Gulf Region. In the past 

three years  the Network has organized Canadian Education Fairs in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai and coordinated school visits allowing Canadian school 

representatives to meet directly with students. The CEC Network also 
provides a range of education consultancy services to governments and the private sector. As well, it continues to develop and deliver high quality ESL programs to schools in the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Our experience helping international students discover Canada and the benefits of a Canadian education, coupled with our strong ties to this region, make us the best source for students wanting information about Canadian education. 

Known for its academic excellence, affordable programs, inviting culture and beautiful landscape, Canada welcomes approximately 150,000 international students every year. Growing numbers of students from Asia, Europe, Latin America, Australia and the United States are coming to Canada and discovering the benefits of a Canadian education. 

Canada is a leader in education, with its students consistently ranking 

among the best in the world in comparative studies. Canadian schools are acknowledged for their high-quality teachers who are committed to providing students with comprehensive and diversified curriculum. Canada’s academic standards are internationally recognized; Canadian degrees, diplomas and certificates are highly regarded in business, government and academic communities around the world. Canada also offers attractive tuition and living costs, particularly when compared to Britain, Australia and the United States. 

The number of programs offered by Canadian education institutions is truly fantastic. There are programs to suit the needs of every student. Canada is a bilingual nation, providing superior English and French language programs for students at all levels, from beginner to advanced. Canadian universities are renowned for their quality of teaching and groundbreaking research, and the country’s other post-secondary institutions offer a diverse range of programs

 to prepare students for the career of their choice. Canadian secondary schools also offer outstanding education opportunities, reflected in the fact that Canadian teenagers consistently rank among the best in the world on international tests of reading, math and science. 

In addition to a world-class education system, Canada offers international students a welcoming environment in which to live. The country has a

 history of multiculturalism, with citizens from every part of the world. At Canadian campuses, students meet fellow students from across the country 

and around the globe in an environment where different perspectives are respected and learning together is encouraged.
