The Embassy of Canada to Portugal is organizing a Study in Canada Fair in Lisbon on November 10-11, 2014.

November 10: open to local education agents, guidance counselors, professionals in international education, Portuguese secondary schools, post-secondary institutions, students associations and public education agencies.

November 11: OPEN DAY (K-12 and postsecondary students, parents, professionals).

This event is being intentionally scheduled after ICEF in Berlin (November 2-4, 2014) and the Study in Canada Fair in Rome (November 6-7), in order to allow Canadian institutions who may be travelling to Europe to best leverage their presence here and gain additional access to market opportunities.

The Fair will run on both days at the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce (http://www.ccip.pt/), an exclusive venue located in downtown Lisbon, close to main transportation services.

A large room (250 m2) has been reserved for Canadian institutions to display their items and meet with Portuguese clients; another room (seating capacity of 70) has been reserved for presentations. Canadian institutions will be offered a 15 minute time-slot for presentations, assigned on a first-come first-served basis. There will be free wi-fi on the entire floor. Refreshments and snacks will be available throughout the first day and a vin d'honneur will be served on the 11th during the Canadian Ambassador's welcoming remarks.

Participation is FREE for Canadian institutions.

Canadian institutions will be responsible for arranging shipment of display items to the fair venue, as well as any costs associated with coming to Lisbon for the event.

Visitors will be invited to meet with Canadian schools and listen to ongoing presentations on Canada as a destination of excellence for study and research abroad.

Portuguese young professionals, university and high-school students make up a significant potential client base for secondary, languages and post-secondary studies in Canada. We anticipate leveraging our resources through collaboration with the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce, Santander Bank
