Exhibitor testimonials
Trusted by institutions worldwide
“The events have provided an excellent platform to connect with motivated students who are genuinely interested in international study opportunities.”
Maikel Boelema
Saxion University of Applied Sciences
“It was my first time participating in a Recruit in Canada Fair and I was very impressed. As a representative of a U.S. institution, I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of student interest. I was pleased to find that the fair attendees were highly engaged and wanted to learn more about our school. I am looking forward to the possibility of participating again in the future!”
Mariel Stein
International Admissions Counsellor, University of Utah
“We loved attending the fair to meet with prospective students. The QRConnect made it so simple and streamlined and it meant we could spend more time talking to students rather than getting them to fill out lead cards and lead forms.”
Vanessa Kliskey
Manager, Marketing & Experiences, Vancouver Film School
“As a university marketing expert, I attend many school fairs around the world, but the Recruit in Canada Fairs are definitely among the best.”
Zsofia Vona
Semmelweis University
“The QRConnect™ made it super easy to collect leads and add notes on their programs of interest. This will be great when connecting with leads.”
Lakehead University
“There were some good conversations, and the layout offered a relatively easy flow of traffic. Sitting with counsellors during the Networking Day was of great value—more so even than when they walked around to our booths.”
Mohawk Valley Community College
“I only attended the fair in Calgary this year. It was a very busy fair for me. I spoke to prospects and their parents steadily with very little free time in between.”
St. John’s University
“The quality of attendees was great and the volume of people who came worked out well.”
St. Petersburg College
