Our global community is presently facing an unprecedented challenge. CBIE’s thoughts are with all those affected by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). With day to day life being disrupted for all of us and our education institutions around the globe, we believe it is more important than ever to act in the best interests of Canada’s international education sector. To this end, we are actively monitoring and reacting to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, and have taken the initiative to create this dashboard to provide our community with updates and resources from CBIE, and the latest COVID-19 information from the Government of Canada.
For the health and safety of our staff, and with a strong desire to do our part in promoting social distancing in our community, CBIE offices are closed until further notice, with staff working from home. We remain available to support our stakeholders when you need us.
