Press Release
Global Partners Institute is pleased to announce that our service delivery has now expanded to post-secondary students.
Our experienced Regional Managers are knowledgeable about the post-secondary institutions in their respective regions. They are ready to provide sound advice and guidance to potential students in terms of program offerings, application processes, documents required and communication channels.
Our Management Team are Certified ITAC (ICEF Trained Agent/Counsellors), and can provide International students advice, resources, and connections as they move into post secondary education in University, College or Polytechnical Institutions.
Canadian universities and colleges share a common culture of quality and excellence, and a commitment to ensuring that high standards are achieved and maintained in their academic programs. Canada is recognized worldwide for its high academic standards - from elementary to secondary, colleges, and universities. With rigorous quality assurance at every level of the education system students can be assured that they’ll earn a world-class education: an education that is transferable to other institutions of higher learning, and careers both locally and worldwide.
GPI offers a home stay option. Our staff vets all potential homestays to ensure a safe and secure home for students. We aim to provide comfortable and welcoming home environments for each and every student. Many of the post-secondary institutions have some housing for rent which the respective institutions can direct students to.
While studying in a new country, student may face challenges such as adjusting to different teaching and learning styles; new cultural practices, and often studying in one’s nonnative speaking language. Students often find that they need additional support. GPI’s staff is well trained and experienced in providing this service.
Check out the colleges and universities that we are currently working with directly. We hope that you will seriously consider one of these post-secondary centers for higher education. Our staff looks forward to meeting you.
