The Consulate General of Canada to Hong Kong and Macao is hosting the annual EduCanada Fair on October 19 and 20, 2024 at Hotel Alexandra in North Point. The EduCanada Fair is a great opportunity to meet representatives from Canadian education institutions, learn about the Canadian education system, get the most up-to-date information on how to apply for a study permit and discover options for working in Canada after graduation.
Canada is among the top destinations of choice for international students pursuing their education. In 2023, over 1 million students from all over the world chose to study in Canada, among which 14,115 students were from Hong Kong.
From elementary to post-secondary studies, Canada is known for offering high quality education and research opportunities. Canada’s college and university degrees are recognized worldwide, and tuition fees are among the lowest in English speaking countries. Students may also be able to stay and work in Canada after graduation.
“Education plays a crucial role in strengthening the already strong ties between Canada and Hong Kong. We are seeing an increasing number of Hong Kong students studying in Canada in recent years. The strong presence of Canadian institutions at the EduCanada Fair again this year not only demonstrates how much we value the students from Hong Kong and Macao but also the commitment of Canada in continuing the cultural and academic exchanges between the two places,” says Jason Reeve, Senior Trade Commissioner of Canada to Hong Kong and Macao. “We are excited to welcome students and their guardians to the EduCanada Fair this October and we look forward to seeing many of you in Canada soon.”

Representatives from 52 Canadian universities, colleges, public and private K-12 (elementary and secondary) schools will exhibit at the fair and meet with students and parents to give first-hand information about their institutions and the programs they offer. A series of public information seminars will also be held during the two-day fair. Representatives from Canadian schools will introduce their institutions and their admission requirements. Some will offer information on various programs available to students who would like to prepare for university. Representatives from the Consulate General of Canada will also be present at the Fair to provide general information on studying in Canada and study permit application procedures.
