Canadian education fair

On November 17, the Canadian University in Dubai will host the Canadian Education Fair organised by the Canadian Embassy, Abu Dhabi. The Fair will be open from 6 to 9pm.

Families who attend can get information not only about universities and colleges but also about schools and English language preparation programmes.

Students who have dropped mathematics in grades 11 and 12, and are seeking reinforcement of their maths skills before enrolling at university, can discuss this with admissions directors.

Admission requirements as well as programme details for individual institutions can be secured by visiting the fair.

According to the Government of Canada website, there are about 150,000 international students studying in Canada.
