Chandigarh, April 9, 2014: It is a dream of Indian students, to study abroad particularly in Canada. The desire of prospective pupils to study in Canada might now not remain, just a pipe dream. Charms Education & Immigration Services (P) Ltd., which specialises in helping students find the right course, Institute and in provision of consultancy services for turn-key student visas, is bringing to Punjab and Chandigarh Mega Canadian Education Fairs.  As many as 25 Canadian Colleges & Universities will converge at these Fairs one of which is to take place in Chandigarh's Hotel Taj on April 13. Before this the same will be held at Ludhiana on April 11 and Jalandhar on Apr 12. This was announced by senior representatives of Charms & Canadian Institutes at a Media Conference.    
According to Rahul Paitka, MD, Charms Education & Immigration Services (P) Ltd., “As per the sources, Canada aims to nearly double the number of International students and they numerically have a goal of increasing to 450,000 students and researchers by 2022 from all over the world. Due to this policy the number of International students is growing at a faster rate in Canada than in any other country. The number of International students studying in Canada; are increasing by 51% since the Edu-Canada pilot project was launched in 2007 – which is a healthy average of 8% every year."
Some of the International Recruitment big wigs who will be part of the mega fairs in Punjab and Chandigarh are Jessica Wrightson, Manager (Marketing & Recruitment), Camosun College , Victoria  BC, Krista Pearson, Registrar International, Sault College , Marie , Ontario, Alex Dimas, Student Recruitment Coordinator, Kwantlen Polytechnic University , Surrey BC, Moritz Schmidt, International Recruitment, College of the Rockies , Cranbrook, BC, Peter Ashby, Director Admissions, Columbia College , Vancouver , BC, Sheeba Colvin, International Student Recruitment Officer, Loyalist College,  Belleville , Ontario.

Says Manish Paitka, CEO, Charms Education & Immigration Services (P) Ltd., “The highlight of new Canadian Rules for students & plans to promote international education is a change which will come into effect from 1st June 2014. Under this students will get part time work rights of 20 hours per week off campus once they begin their studies. This will go a long way in meeting the some part of expenses in Canada.” Adds Manish, “So there is an excellent opportunity  because Canada has a liberalised  system for genuine and  well qualified International  students . The country’s new International Education Strategy will be favorable to Indian Students.”
The events will provide a golden opportunity to students to enroll for the Sep 2014 and Jan 2015 academic sessions. Many Institutes will also offer application fee waiver, on the spot admissions, assessments and even scholarships.  The important thing is that all Institutes coming to Chandigarh & Punjab are of repute and members of AUCC (Association of University and Colleges of Canada) & ACCC (Association of Canadian Community Colleges)". Information sessions on accommodation facilities for students in Canada will also be held. Said Manish, “At the education fairs all admission related queries of students will be answered and latest information on pre and post visa processing for students will be shared.
