Glinks International is scheduled to host 'The Glinks International Education Fair', the premier annual education event, on Sunday, September 8, at the Sheraton Grand Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. This event will bring together officials from over 25 universities to discuss enrollment procedures and scholarship options with more than 1,000 students in the UAE who are interested in studying in Canada, the USA, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UAE.
The fair will showcase representatives from esteemed institutions including Acadia University, Bow Valley College, Bronte College Summer Camp, Brock University, Clark University, Columbia College, Grenfell Campus - Memorial University, Huron University, Huron University at Western, McMaster University, Middlesex University Dubai, North Island College, Queen’s University, Sheridan College, St. Francis Xavier University, Tetr College of Business, Technological University of Shannon, Thompson Rivers University, University of Essex, University of Manitoba, University of New Brunswick, University of Otago in New Zealand, University of Saskatchewan, University of Waterloo, and University of Windsor. From 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm, potential undergraduate and master’s students, along with career professionals aiming to advance their careers, will have a remarkable opportunity to explore a plethora of academic opportunities.
As the largest UAE-based partner consultant for renowned Canadian educational institutions, Glinks provides students with access to a wide range of study options in Canada, particularly at a time when the country has revised its policy for international students. This education fair takes place nine months after the Canadian Government announced a reduction in the number of foreign students from 1,040,985 to 360,000 annually. This means UAE students will need to actively pursue their application processes, and this exhibition could be pivotal in assisting them to secure on-site admissions to Canadian educational institutions with the help of Glinks’ team, despite the decrease in enrollment numbers.
The Glinks International Education Fair, themed 'The Global Study Movement', is intended to be the ultimate platform for students and professionals looking to expand their horizons and gain insights into international education. With the tagline – The One Stop education fair – UAE students will have the opportunity to explore key study destinations across Canada, UK, USA, and beyond for the September 2025 intake. Recent data from the UAE Ministry of Education and various educational research reports indicate that over 20,000 students from the UAE are currently studying abroad. This reflects a growing trend among UAE students to pursue higher education opportunities in international institutions, driven by a desire for a global perspective and diverse academic experiences, which Glinks aims to facilitate through its comprehensive advisory services.
