Special Initiatives Program
The main objective of this project is to enhance Canadian college and institute participation in international student mobility initiatives with Europe and North America. This will be done by promoting the IAM program to colleges and institutes throughout Canada, by encouraging their participation in the next call for proposals, and to facilitate the development of international partnerships by exploring the potential of a sectoral approach to international student mobility to reduce barriers to that participation and by establishing a sectoral database of program equivalencies.
