Top Reasons to Represent MCIE Member Institutions

Diversity of Educational Opportunity - Meeting the Educational Needs of Your Clients!

Everything your student clients could possibly want can be found in Manitoba! MCIE members represent every level of education available -- from Elementary School to Graduate School -- if you represent MCIE Schools you are giving your clients the opportunity to choose from a wide range of education options. This also allows your clients to transition from one level of study to another level with relative ease. International students in Manitoba have been very successful in moving from ESL to academic studies, from secondary to post-secondary and from college to university level studies.

Diversity of International Students - Your Clients will Study with Students from All Over the World!

Manitoba is a smaller province relative to British Columbia and Ontario. Winnipeg, the capital city of Manitoba, is also smaller than cities like Vancouver and Toronto. This provides your clients with a friendly environment in which to succeed. Your clients will find a great diversity in our international student and general populations. Whichever MCIE member institution your client attends they are likely to be studying with student from all over the world not just from their home country. More than 4000 international students from approximately 80 different countries attend MCIE member institutions. For English language students this decreases the chance that they will be studying in a classroom of students from the same country and thus increases their chances for success in language acquisition.

Manitoba's Lower Cost of Living Can Broaden Your Client Base!

Not all parents and students in your home country who may wish to consider studying abroad are actually going to be able to afford the costs associated with studying and living in another country. The affordable tuition rates at MCIE member institutions offer great value for the highest quality of education. The cost of accommodations, entertainment and local transportation are all very affordable in Manitoba. Multiply the considerable monthly savings that your client may achieve by studying in Manitoba by the one, two or three years of study and you will see that representing MCIE member institutions is going to broaden your potential client base in your home country!

Manitoba Encourages Successful International Students to Consider Immigration to Manitoba!

Recognizing the great contribution that international students can make to Manitoba's economy, culture and society, the Provincial Government has established immigration application regulations and procedures that are favourable for international students who have graduated from post-secondary MCIE member institutions and are sincere in their desire to continue to live, work and contribute to the growth of Manitoba. Many international students have already been successful in making the transition from international student to post-graduate employment to landed immigrant.
