The British Council is working in partnership with existing student recruitment fairs in Canada to add value for UK universities.  We are pleased to offer an opportunity for your institution to be represented by EducationUK staff on the British Council / EducationUK booth at student recruitment fairs across the country. 

This is a great way to raise your institution’s profile and collect contact details for interested Canadian students, even if you are not able to attend the fairs in person!

Below you will find details of two separate opportunities: to be represented at the Recruit in Canada fairs, and the Go Global Expo fairs.  (We will shortly be following up with details about opportunities at fairs run by Canadian universities.)
