Seventy Canadian institutions to participate in Education Week in Vietnam

The 6th Annual Canadian Education Week gathering 70 Canadian institutions will take place in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from October 5 to 11, according to the Embassy of Canada in Hanoi.

Students and families are encouraged to take this opportunity to meet directly with Canadian institutions’ representatives, learn about Canada’s education system and study options available, the visa application process, and work opportunities for international students after graduation.

Highlights of the week are the fairs which are open to the public and will take place at the Melia Hotel in Hanoi on October 5 from 9am – 4pm, and at the Intercontinental Asiana Saigon Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City on October 11 from 9am – 4pm.

A special seminar on applying for student visas will be led by a Canadian immigration official, aimed at providing the public with transparent and clear guidance on this topic of concern.

Students will have the opportunity to meet with many of Canada’s leading universities like the University of British Columbia, the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, the University of Victoria, the University of Manitoba, the University of Saskatchewan, Concordia University, University of New Brunswick, Laurentian University, University of Guelph, and York University.

Canada welcomes more than 100,000 international students every year. A recent survey says international students studying in Canada pay some of the lowest fees amongst western developed nations.
