Who Are We?

Recruit in Canada has been organizing international university fairs since 1993, by Penny Bissett  They are designed for high ranking post-secondary institutions from within around the world to meet with serious, motivated students in Canada.

Now in its 17th year, the fairs are expanding to more cities across Canada, enabling universities to reach more students in Canada, both domestic students and international students who are doing their academic preparation in Canada in order to gain entry into graduate or undergraduate programs in the US, Canada or overseas.
