ICEF Podcast: Study destination Canada, live from Toronto and Montreal

In this episode of our continuing podcast series, ICEF’s Craig Riggs (editor of ICEF Monitor) and Martijn van de Veen (vice-president of business development) discuss the latest developments in our sector, with a special focus on a new student survey from Nigeria and a just-announced policy around joint and dual degrees in India.

They are joined by extended in-person panels in Toronto and Montreal for a feature discussion on Canada as a leading study destination. The panelists include Magda Link, vice president of sales for ILAC; Thevi Pather, associate vice president international for Saskatchewan Polytechnic; Ana Paula de Souza, senior manager of corporate sales for Air Canada; Martin Houde, director of College Avalon; Diego Sanchez, director of international affairs for Languages Canada; Craig Stephenson, president of Centennial College; and George Khoury, principal advisor of Opulence Education Group.

The episode concludes with a closer look at another key growth market in international education: Iran.
