COVID-19

During this unpredictable time, with the world coping with the pandemic crisis, we at Recruit in Canada are also taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our team and our partners.

We have introduced a new event – the Virtual Education Fair, to take place May 21st – so that our esteemed partners can continue to reach out to prospective students from afar. This event is not limited to engaging students in Canada, as we are working with partners to also reach as many markets as possible.

Our regular Fall 2020 expo is currently still scheduled to take place; the event venues were booked a year in advance, and our contracts remain in place. Should either party (we as the event organizers or the event venue) need to cancel due to circumstances beyond our control, we will advise our exhibitors well in advance and provide any refunds as set out in our terms and conditions.

We stand by to continue being a platform from which to reach students, across Canada in particular, with our many digital promotion options. Please contact us any time for details on how we can assist you in keeping visibility in this market.

From the entire team at Recruit in Canada, we wish you and your families good health and well-being.
