Canadian Bureau International Education (CBIE)

Location

CBIE is a unique organization in Canada. Among the major national organizations, only CBIE covers the spectrum of Canadian education, from K-12 to postgraduate, public and private sectors. CBIE exclusively among national organizations is dedicated to international education.

CBIE has been a leader in this field for over 40 years, making Canada’s mark in the world of international training and learning, and achieving hugely beneficial linkages for Canada and our partner countries.

The Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) is a national, bilingual, not-for-profit, membership organization dedicated to the promotion of Canada's international relations through international education: the free movement of ideas and learners across national boundaries. CBIE's activities comprise scholarship management, civil society and public sector reform, research and information services, advocacy, training programs, professional development for international educators and other services for members and learners.

CBIE promotes the special interests of the international learner, both the foreign national studying in Canada and the Canadian studying abroad, through educational exchanges, scholarships, training awards and internships, technical assistance in education and other related services.

CBIE believes that international education is one of the best ways to create understanding among peoples and to develop enduring political, cultural and economic links among nations.
