Canada’s current International Education Strategy (IES) expires on March 31, 2024. Global Affairs Canada (GAC), in collaboration with Employment and Social Development Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada are consulting stakeholders based on their mandates. In summer 2023, feedback from these consultations will be consolidated to inform the final version of the IES.
GAC has launched consultations with provincial and territorial governments as well as with education associations and institutions. The IES consultations will continue until July 31, 2023.

To support the consultation process, GAC has developed a series of papers on Canada’s international education landscape.
These papers include the four proposed pillars of the revised strategy:
- Digital marketing
- Scholarships

Four thematic papers:
- Digitalization of international education

Five sectoral papers:
