“CBIE events and PLCs provide an excellent opportunity to meet with and learn from colleagues across the country.  Perhaps CBIE’s greatest value is this ability to bring together professionals from across the sector to engage in open, productive and respectful dialogue.”

Marc Usunier, University of Saskatchewan

 

“I have found CBIE to be a valuable source of information and a way to build a network of colleagues.  I have also been inspired by the work done by CBIE globally through CIDA supported programming.”

“CBIE has meant many things to my institution over the years: as an advocate for international student immigration policy, a source of high quality sponsored students, and a forum for connecting with colleagues – but in recent years its most valued contribution has been  CBIE’s support for the new generation of international educators in Canada. I have observed tremendous growth in the professional skills of my staff from CBIE’s attention to our emerging leaders in the field and this will have a lasting impact on international education in Canada.”
