Expo Educa is an Education Fair organized annually by local authorities in which several institutions and countries promote their educational services. Last year, 23,000 students attended the event. This fair is held in different places but our plan is to participate, for the first time in Montevideo, where the majority of the students reside (half of the population of Uruguay is located in the region of the capital - Montevideo).

This event is directly related with the Edu-Canada strategy as it is created to increase the recruitment of international students to study in Canada, students who will be potential partners or immigrants in the future.
