Join us at the EduCanada Turkey Education Mission 2017 in Istanbul, Turkey

Target Audience: K-12, Language Schools and Post-secondary Institutions

EVENT DESCRIPTION

The events and activities in the EduCanada Turkey Education Mission 2017 will focus on showcasing the quality and diversity of Canadian education and training sector, engaging with key education stakeholders, such as Turkish universities, colleges, K-12 schools, recruitment agents, students and their families to inspire and motivate the Turkish audience to select Canada as their preferred choice of study destination. TCS will offer an extensive marketing campaign, student seminars at the fair and support during the events. Students will be asked to register online prior to the event or at the exhibition floor to gain free access to the fair. TCS will also conduct integrated online student lead management following the conclusion of the events.

Standard rate:  $3, 000 CAD

Approximately 55,000 Turkish students study abroad each year including those enrolled on Work and Study or Work and Travel type of programs. Historically, the ranking of the top destinations for Turkish students has been: UK, US, Germany, France, Australia, and Canada. The US and UK enjoy a commanding and established market presence especially in ESL, undergraduate, and graduate programs. However the changing political climate in those two countries and in Europe more broadly has dampened Turkish enthusiasm for those destinations, with the result that there is growing interest in the Turkish market in all levels of education in Canada. Education recruitment agencies are also experiencing a surge of applications from prospective Turkish students and some are reportedly recording
as much as 50-75 percent growth in student figures for Canada compared to last year.

Furthermore, as a consequence of the Turkish Lira losing approximately 40 percent of its value against the US dollar between Jan 2015 and Dec 2016, affordability has become an important consideration for parents, and in this respect the weaker Canadian dollar represents a competitive advantage against the US and British markets.

We look forward to your participation in this event!
