 - description_oldCanada has a long, rich history of immigration. As one of the world's largest countries in terms of area, the country has benefitted from pioneering individuals and, until now, welcomes immigrants looking for better lives or wanting to contribute to nation-building. That openness is evident in the continuous growth of Canada's education sector, which has seen an expansion in the number of international students applying to universities and the number of countries from where they originate.

 - content_oldCanada has a long, rich history of immigration. As one of the world’s largest countries in terms of area, the country has benefitted from pioneering individuals and, until now, welcomes immigrants looking for better lives or wanting to contribute to nation-building. That openness is evident in the continuous growth of Canada’s education sector, which has seen an expansion in the number of international students applying to universities and the number of countries from where they originate. “Canada continues to value the important contributions of international students within our communities. We recognize that people-to-people ties are foundational to building sustainable global cooperation. Advancing internationalization is critical to Canada’s global engagement, and remains core to our organizational mandate,” said Larissa Bezo, president and CEO of the <a href="https://cbie.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian Bureau for International Education</a>. As Canada and China marked the 50th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral ties, Canadian universities and government agencies have highlighted the important contributions made by the students from the world’s largest economy, which now accounts for the largest group of international students in the country. “International students bring diversity, top talent, high skill sets and motivation that provide long-term economic, social and cultural benefits to the province of Manitoba,” said Ralph Eichler, <a href="https://www.gov.mb.ca/jec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the province’s minister for economic development and training</a>. Livia Castellanos, executive lead of international education at the <a href="https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/government-structure/ministries/advanced-education#:~:text=The%20Ministry%20of%20Advanced%20Education,retain%20and%20attract%20skilled%20workers." target="_blank" rel="noopener">ministry of advanced education of Saskatchewan</a>, expressed similar sentiments and highlighted the province’s efforts to strengthen its network with Chinese schools and universities: “We have engaged in many conversations with our post-secondary institutions and with colleagues in China because the country is a partner for Saskatchewan and Canadian education.” Because the COVID-19 global pandemic caused a huge disruption and much uncertainty to the plans of thousands of international students, Canada has had to quickly implement measures to ensure their safety and deliver continuity to their education. The travel restrictions put in place because of the pandemic affected more than 650,000 students from the country and elsewhere in the world. “Early on, when we saw some countries and communities turn their back on international students, we embraced them. That was one of the responses that we saw in Canada before the pandemic. That approach will continue post-pandemic,” <a href="https://www.univcan.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Universities Canada</a> President and CEO Paul Davidson said. The extra effort to accommodate international students in the middle of the pandemic was readily seen in Canada’s 10 provinces and three territories. “Our country is a very welcoming place for international students and parents can have a great deal of confidence that their children will be safe,” said Randall Martin, the executive director of the <a href="https://bccie.bc.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BC Council for International Education</a>. In the eastern end of Canada, the province of Nova Scotia needed to intensify its collaboration with its network of schools, colleges and universities to provide all types of services and support for its international students, particularly those from China. “We were able to do that in advance. Students received full support and felt that the government of Nova Scotia cared about their long-term mental health, security and safety. That was because we were acting collaboratively,” said Nicole Johnson-Morrison, president and CEO of <a href="https://studynovascotia.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EduNova</a>, the cooperative industry association of schools and professional training providers in the province. Given the diverse and unique demographics of each region and their differing needs, each of the provincial governments, through their ministries, was able to bring forward their concerns to the federal government in Ottawa and receive the needed support. Because of that continued commitment to reach out to Chinese students, and buoyed by the success of its health and safety measures, the government is very confident that the spirit of collaboration within the entire education sector will stay as strong. “International students from all countries are important to New Brunswick and all are welcome here because they contribute to our province’s cultural mosaic. That said, China has been the number one source of international students for us. Many universities have academic research relationships and other affiliations with Chinese universities, which results in a valuable interchange of students and ideas,” said Leigh Watson, <a href="https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Brunswick government</a> spokesperson.

 - titleNew York Institute of Technology: Building bridges with China
 - description_oldWith campuses in the US, Canada, and China, New York Institute of Technology (New York Tech) remains committed to providing a top-class, relevant education to all its students, despite the challenges that stem from the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. In hard-hit Canada, New York Tech in Vancouver has exerted significant effort to ensure the physical health and mental wellbeing of its students and faculty. To meet that objective, the non-profit institution has created new distance learning platforms for instruction and has allowed only 5% of its faculty and staff to work onsite and conduct virtual classes.

To meet that objective, the non-profit institution has created new distance learning platforms for instruction and has allowed only 5% of its faculty and staff to work onsite and conduct virtual classes. In the past three years, New York Tech, founded in 1955, was admitted into the AITU (Association of Independent Technological Universities) and has moved up 132 positions in the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education college rankings. <figure class="image-container floated-right" style="float: right;"><img src="https://www.gmipost.com/img/uploads/Education-Commonwealth%202021/2-CANADA-NYIT-Hank-Foley.jpg" alt="" /> <figcaption class="image-caption">New York Tech President and CEO Henry C. "Hank" Foley</figcaption> </figure> “We are very proud of that achievement. We made sure that we sustained our jump, and I think next year we will go higher again,” said <a href="https://www.nyit.edu/bio/president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Tech President and CEO Henry C. “Hank” Foley</a>, who joined the university in 2017. Aside from delivering quality education, New York Tech also provides significant measurable benefits at all its campus locations. In its home base in New York, the university contributed $634.1 million to the local economy and made investments in research valued at $23.3 million in 2019. It is committed to expanding its research impact to $40.3 million by 2025, positioning the university to continue to greatly improve its reputation and status. New York State’s talent pool also benefits from the more than 1,500 students that graduate each year from New York Tech. Because of the improving rankings of the university and abundant work opportunities in the United States, many of New York Tech’s students are able to pursue a career in their chosen field, earn a good salary, and even pursue postgraduate studies with minimal difficulty. As of 2020, the university has enrolled nearly 9,000 students from nearly 90 countries, an indication that it recognizes the benefit of nurturing a multicultural student body and faculty to strengthen its programs. Canada has remained a preferred destination for its international students, many of whom opt to stay in the country and later apply to become naturalized citizens. Approximately 15% of the Vancouver campus’ foreign students are of Chinese descent. <figure class="image-container floated-right" style="float: right;"><img src="https://www.gmipost.com/img/uploads/Education-Commonwealth%202021/2-CANADA-NYIT-On-Campus.jpg" alt="" /> <figcaption class="image-caption">New York Tech students can benefit from a rich educational experience that includes academic support, student clubs and organizations, and co-curricular and cultural activities in the exciting city of Vancouver.</figcaption> </figure> “We are very welcoming to Chinese students here. We’re also very happy about the fact that more and more students from China now appear to take up residence in Vancouver and to seek their education from New York Tech in Vancouver,” said Foley. China has always been a strategic market for the university. In fact, it partnered with a recruitment company started by an alumna in China, who finds and identifies suitable candidates for the university’s academic programs. “China has been quite important to us, and that continues to thrive and blossom,” said Foley about a joint MBA program with a Chinese university that has been ongoing for the past 20 years. “If students are looking for a targeted professional education and for a university with a longstanding tradition of working with Chinese students, then New York Institute of Technology is the ideal choice. We pride ourselves in preparing people for professional careers, and we’d love to tell them more about us,” he added.

We have established deep and meaningful collaborations with top universities in China. As of this year, we have more than 1,200 Chinese students in our campuses in Langley and Richmond,” said Dr. Phil Laird, TWU Vice President of Innovation, Global and Academic Partnerships. TWU showed its strength of leadership and vision in planning for and adapting to COVID-19. Led by <a href="https://www.twu.ca/about/office-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President, Dr. Mark Husbands</a>, TWU transitioned to complete online-learning modality in only three days. The university also invited faculty members to come up with new online courses to support students, resulting in an increase in the number of offered courses by 10%. Also, enrolment for Fall 2020 grew by 6% from the previous year, revealing the strength of TWU to manage the pressures of the pandemic. TWU has implemented many innovative ways to support students during the pandemic. It came up with the Red Bridge initiative designed to make the admissions process easier and faster for Chinese students, who receive decisions on their applications within 24 hours. It also launched the “96 Hour Marathon,” wherein staff, key program directors and foreign credential verification specialists book separate hour-long sessions with students or international agents. The initiative was so successful that the university now holds 96 Hour Marathons every two months. “You can get academic and social support. You can get help and advice. You get a community of people prepared to innovate in order to meet the needs of students. You can have a network of people that take care of you both inside and outside Trinity Western University,” said Laird, highlighting the importance of looking past school rankings and think more about the community and country where universities are located. “When you study at a university, you are also entering into a country and local community. It is important to consider the lifestyle, employment and immigration opportunities when you choose a university. Canada is a safe, beautiful and multicultural country. Vancouver is well known for exemplary beauty, safety, local diversity and a world class standard of living,” he added. “Students have to think about where they get their degree and also where they will start their lives after graduation,” said Laird, who pointed out that Vancouver consistently ranks in the top 5 most liveable cities in the world, has direct flights to major Chinese cities, enjoys low unemployment, and offers world-class healthcare, all in a diverse community.

As the middle class continues to expand in the world's largest economy, more parents seek an international education for their children.

 - content_oldNobody could have predicted how 2020 would unfold. For Paul Davidson, the president of Universities Canada, last year couldn’t have had a worse start. On 8 January 2020, flight 852 of Ukraine International Airlines crashed in Tehran, killing all 176 passengers and crew, among them 63 undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty members from 18 Canadian universities. Still reeling from that tragedy, just a few weeks later, Canada reported its first case of COVID-19 on its shores. Canadian universities were among the first to understand the COVID-19’s impact because of their close connections with places like China. They saw the impact of the virus early and how China dealt with the virus as visa applications centers and language testing centers shut down. <figure class="image-container floated-right" style="float: right;"><img src="https://www.gmipost.com/img/uploads/Education-Commonwealth%202021/5-CANADA-VIP%20Profile-Universities-Canada-Paul-Davidson.jpg" alt="" /> <figcaption class="image-caption">Universities Canada President Paul Davidson</figcaption> </figure> In an interview last year with GMI Post, Davidson took stock of the year gone by and how Canada’s schools and universities adapted to major challenges brought about by the global pandemic. Looking forward, Davidson also expounds on the new normal for his country’s education sector. Universities Canada is a nongovernmental, membership-based association of private and public not-for-profit Canadian universities. GMI Post: Given your involvement in the education sector, both in government and the private sector, what trends you have seen emerge this year? Davidson: Canada’s universities responded really well and very quickly, moving all their undergraduate learners online in a span of 10 days. We were able to complete the winter term successfully. Campuses were depopulated very quickly out of concern for the safety of the students and faculty. University residences were repurposed to accommodate frontline healthcare workers to protect their families. I also want to underscore how in those first few days and weeks, there was particular care and attention to how international students in Canada were being treated. Universities kept their residences open for them. They kept the meal plans going. They helped the students find work in the summer. They worked with immigration officials to extend study permits. That’s really something that Canada is proud of. Canada lives a multicultural environment. It lives a pluralistic experim ent. We have a very large number of international students that come from a wide range of countries. Because we are such a multicultural society, sometimes we can’t even tell the international student from the Canadian student. That makes the international students very comfortable. Perhaps most significantly, our schools enabled international students to enroll online until such time our borders are reopened. Aside from that, the time spent on online study will beconsidered when international students apply for postgraduate work permits. That’s another feature of our system. We see international students as a real asset to Canada and our economy. Meanwhile, international students also value the chance not only to study here but also get first-hand work experience. Our immigration rules permit international students to work while they’re studying and stay after graduation. That’s a compelling offer. GMI Post: How have universities adapted to this new normal? Davidson: It has been a tumultuous year for everyone and I really feel for international students and their parents who are trying to figure out what they might do next and where they might go. However, the enduring values of Canadian education persists: high quality education, safety and security, and a welcoming environment in a dynamic, progressive country. Our multiculturalism really welcomes diversity and favors young people. Canada is a great place to be if you’re a young person. With the pandemic, universities transformed their educational offerings to maintain their high quality and presented a variety of options. Some small liberal arts undergraduate colleges operate in-person classes. There are parts of the country where the pandemic hasn’t interrupted activity. Then, every university in the country offers online experiences. Depending on whether health and safety conditions allow, some universities are offering more hybrid experiences, which blend synchronous and asynchronous opportunities. We understand it is a challenge for students to be out of the classroom for between 12 and 14 hours a day. So, universities are adapting to allow students to study at a time of their choosing. Some have invested in technology like virtual reality to create an experience that is as immersive as possible. Many schools are also aware that education is not just about courses or the time spent in front of your computer. Education is also about building communities. So, we have seen Canadian universities organize online extracurricular clubs and experiences, like work internships and co-ops. Another underreported aspect is the participation of alumni groups, which reached out to students, both to Canadian and international. With regards to China, there are many highly successful Chinese leaders in government, business, and society who have strong connections to Canadian universities and a deep fondness for their experience in Canada. Some alumni groups have extended scholarships and emergency bursary support. That’s evidence of the kind of community that Canadian universities develop and the sense of affiliation that alumni feel over their lifetime. GMI Post: What are your priorities in the next 2 to 3 years? Davidson: As we look to the future, it’s about growing the number of international students because we have the capacity to serve more. It’s also about encouraging outbound mobility so that Canadian students get more international experience. We want to be partners and not poachers of talent. We want to build talent together. Another rapidly growing area is integrated learning in co-ops and internships, which forms part of our international development strategy. We are formulating strategy that aims to provide every student with a co-op internship as part of his undergraduate experience. That’s a new feature of Canada’s educational system. We are confident that students will find it appealing because they get a hands-on experience as part of their undergraduate studies. We continue to push forward cooperation in international research. Through the pandemic, we’ve seen that science and investing in science are critical. The world has shortened the development of a vaccine from decades to months. But there are also all sorts of areas for research whether it’s climate change or social inequality, or see how countries can work together effectively. We share one planet. So, we will promote the drive towards more international research in the years ahead. We have to keep investing in young people. We have to keep improving our level of knowledge and the breadth of our knowledge so that we can solve these very challenging problems.

 - content_oldCanada has a long, rich history of immigration. As one of the world’s largest countries in terms of area, the country has benefitted from pioneering individuals and, until now, welcomes immigrants looking for better lives or wanting to contribute to nation-building. That openness is evident in the continuous growth of Canada’s education sector, which has seen an expansion in the number of international students applying to universities and the number of countries from where they originate. “Canada continues to value the important contributions of international students within our communities. We recognize that people-to-people ties are foundational to building sustainable global cooperation. Advancing internationalization is critical to Canada’s global engagement, and remains core to our organizational mandate,” said Larissa Bezo, president and CEO of the <a href="https://cbie.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canadian Bureau for International Education</a>. As Canada and China marked the 50th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral ties, Canadian universities and government agencies have highlighted the important contributions made by the students from the world’s largest economy, which now accounts for the largest group of international students in the country. “International students bring diversity, top talent, high skill sets and motivation that provide long-term economic, social and cultural benefits to the province of Manitoba,” said Ralph Eichler, <a href="https://www.gov.mb.ca/jec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the province’s minister for economic development and training</a>. Livia Castellanos, executive lead of international education at the <a href="https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/government-structure/ministries/advanced-education#:~:text=The%20Ministry%20of%20Advanced%20Education,retain%20and%20attract%20skilled%20workers." target="_blank" rel="noopener">ministry of advanced education of Saskatchewan</a>, expressed similar sentiments and highlighted the province’s efforts to strengthen its network with Chinese schools and universities: “We have engaged in many conversations with our post-secondary institutions and with colleagues in China because the country is a partner for Saskatchewan and Canadian education.” Because the COVID-19 global pandemic caused a huge disruption and much uncertainty to the plans of thousands of international students, Canada has had to quickly implement measures to ensure their safety and deliver continuity to their education. The travel restrictions put in place because of the pandemic affected more than 650,000 students from the country and elsewhere in the world. “Early on, when we saw some countries and communities turn their back on international students, we embraced them. That was one of the responses that we saw in Canada before the pandemic. That approach will continue post-pandemic,” <a href="https://www.univcan.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Universities Canada</a> President and CEO Paul Davidson said. The extra effort to accommodate international students in the middle of the pandemic was readily seen in Canada’s 10 provinces and three territories. “Our country is a very welcoming place for international students and parents can have a great deal of confidence that their children will be safe,” said Randall Martin, the executive director of the <a href="https://bccie.bc.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BC Council for International Education</a>. In the eastern end of Canada, the province of Nova Scotia needed to intensify its collaboration with its network of schools, colleges and universities to provide all types of services and support for its international students, particularly those from China. “We were able to do that in advance. Students received full support and felt that the government of Nova Scotia cared about their long-term mental health, security and safety. That was because we were acting collaboratively,” said Nicole Johnson-Morrison, president and CEO of <a href="https://studynovascotia.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EduNova</a>, the cooperative industry association of schools and professional training providers in the province. Given the diverse and unique demographics of each region and their differing needs, each of the provincial governments, through their ministries, was able to bring forward their concerns to the federal government in Ottawa and receive the needed support. Because of that continued commitment to reach out to Chinese students, and buoyed by the success of its health and safety measures, the government is very confident that the spirit of collaboration within the entire education sector will stay as strong. “International students from all countries are important to New Brunswick and all are welcome here because they contribute to our province’s cultural mosaic. That said, China has been the number one source of international students for us. Many universities have academic research relationships and other affiliations with Chinese universities, which results in a valuable interchange of students and ideas,” said Leigh Watson, <a href="https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Brunswick government</a> spokesperson.

 - description_oldWith campuses in the US, Canada, and China, New York Institute of Technology (New York Tech) remains committed to providing a top-class, relevant education to all its students, despite the challenges that stem from the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. In hard-hit Canada, New York Tech in Vancouver has exerted significant effort to ensure the physical health and mental wellbeing of its students and faculty. To meet that objective, the non-profit institution has created new distance learning platforms for instruction and has allowed only 5% of its faculty and staff to work onsite and conduct virtual classes.

 - content_oldWith campuses in the US, Canada, and China, New York Institute of Technology (New York Tech) remains committed to providing a top-class, relevant education to all its students, despite the challenges that stem from the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. In hard-hit Canada, <a href="https://www.nyit.edu/vancouver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Tech in Vancouver</a> has exerted significant effort to ensure the physical health and mental wellbeing of its students and faculty. To meet that objective, the non-profit institution has created new distance learning platforms for instruction and has allowed only 5% of its faculty and staff to work onsite and conduct virtual classes. In the past three years, New York Tech, founded in 1955, was admitted into the AITU (Association of Independent Technological Universities) and has moved up 132 positions in the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education college rankings. <figure class="image-container floated-right" style="float: right;"><img src="https://www.gmipost.com/img/uploads/Education-Commonwealth%202021/2-CANADA-NYIT-Hank-Foley.jpg" alt="" /> <figcaption class="image-caption">New York Tech President and CEO Henry C. "Hank" Foley</figcaption> </figure> “We are very proud of that achievement. We made sure that we sustained our jump, and I think next year we will go higher again,” said <a href="https://www.nyit.edu/bio/president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Tech President and CEO Henry C. “Hank” Foley</a>, who joined the university in 2017. Aside from delivering quality education, New York Tech also provides significant measurable benefits at all its campus locations. In its home base in New York, the university contributed $634.1 million to the local economy and made investments in research valued at $23.3 million in 2019. It is committed to expanding its research impact to $40.3 million by 2025, positioning the university to continue to greatly improve its reputation and status. New York State’s talent pool also benefits from the more than 1,500 students that graduate each year from New York Tech. Because of the improving rankings of the university and abundant work opportunities in the United States, many of New York Tech’s students are able to pursue a career in their chosen field, earn a good salary, and even pursue postgraduate studies with minimal difficulty. As of 2020, the university has enrolled nearly 9,000 students from nearly 90 countries, an indication that it recognizes the benefit of nurturing a multicultural student body and faculty to strengthen its programs. Canada has remained a preferred destination for its international students, many of whom opt to stay in the country and later apply to become naturalized citizens. Approximately 15% of the Vancouver campus’ foreign students are of Chinese descent. <figure class="image-container floated-right" style="float: right;"><img src="https://www.gmipost.com/img/uploads/Education-Commonwealth%202021/2-CANADA-NYIT-On-Campus.jpg" alt="" /> <figcaption class="image-caption">New York Tech students can benefit from a rich educational experience that includes academic support, student clubs and organizations, and co-curricular and cultural activities in the exciting city of Vancouver.</figcaption> </figure> “We are very welcoming to Chinese students here. We’re also very happy about the fact that more and more students from China now appear to take up residence in Vancouver and to seek their education from New York Tech in Vancouver,” said Foley. China has always been a strategic market for the university. In fact, it partnered with a recruitment company started by an alumna in China, who finds and identifies suitable candidates for the university’s academic programs. “China has been quite important to us, and that continues to thrive and blossom,” said Foley about a joint MBA program with a Chinese university that has been ongoing for the past 20 years. “If students are looking for a targeted professional education and for a university with a longstanding tradition of working with Chinese students, then New York Institute of Technology is the ideal choice. We pride ourselves in preparing people for professional careers, and we’d love to tell them more about us,” he added.

We have established deep and meaningful collaborations with top universities in China. As of this year, we have more than 1,200 Chinese students in our campuses in Langley and Richmond,” said Dr. Phil Laird, TWU Vice President of Innovation, Global and Academic Partnerships. TWU showed its strength of leadership and vision in planning for and adapting to COVID-19. Led by <a href="https://www.twu.ca/about/office-president" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President, Dr. Mark Husbands</a>, TWU transitioned to complete online-learning modality in only three days. The university also invited faculty members to come up with new online courses to support students, resulting in an increase in the number of offered courses by 10%. Also, enrolment for Fall 2020 grew by 6% from the previous year, revealing the strength of TWU to manage the pressures of the pandemic. TWU has implemented many innovative ways to support students during the pandemic. It came up with the Red Bridge initiative designed to make the admissions process easier and faster for Chinese students, who receive decisions on their applications within 24 hours. It also launched the “96 Hour Marathon,” wherein staff, key program directors and foreign credential verification specialists book separate hour-long sessions with students or international agents. The initiative was so successful that the university now holds 96 Hour Marathons every two months. “You can get academic and social support. You can get help and advice. You get a community of people prepared to innovate in order to meet the needs of students. You can have a network of people that take care of you both inside and outside Trinity Western University,” said Laird, highlighting the importance of looking past school rankings and think more about the community and country where universities are located. “When you study at a university, you are also entering into a country and local community. It is important to consider the lifestyle, employment and immigration opportunities when you choose a university. Canada is a safe, beautiful and multicultural country. Vancouver is well known for exemplary beauty, safety, local diversity and a world class standard of living,” he added. “Students have to think about where they get their degree and also where they will start their lives after graduation,” said Laird, who pointed out that Vancouver consistently ranks in the top 5 most liveable cities in the world, has direct flights to major Chinese cities, enjoys low unemployment, and offers world-class healthcare, all in a diverse community.

 - content_oldNobody could have predicted how 2020 would unfold. For Paul Davidson, the president of Universities Canada, last year couldn’t have had a worse start. On 8 January 2020, flight 852 of Ukraine International Airlines crashed in Tehran, killing all 176 passengers and crew, among them 63 undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty members from 18 Canadian universities. Still reeling from that tragedy, just a few weeks later, Canada reported its first case of COVID-19 on its shores. Canadian universities were among the first to understand the COVID-19’s impact because of their close connections with places like China. They saw the impact of the virus early and how China dealt with the virus as visa applications centers and language testing centers shut down. <figure class="image-container floated-right" style="float: right;"><img src="https://www.gmipost.com/img/uploads/Education-Commonwealth%202021/5-CANADA-VIP%20Profile-Universities-Canada-Paul-Davidson.jpg" alt="" /> <figcaption class="image-caption">Universities Canada President Paul Davidson</figcaption> </figure> In an interview last year with GMI Post, Davidson took stock of the year gone by and how Canada’s schools and universities adapted to major challenges brought about by the global pandemic. Looking forward, Davidson also expounds on the new normal for his country’s education sector. Universities Canada is a nongovernmental, membership-based association of private and public not-for-profit Canadian universities. GMI Post: Given your involvement in the education sector, both in government and the private sector, what trends you have seen emerge this year? Davidson: Canada’s universities responded really well and very quickly, moving all their undergraduate learners online in a span of 10 days. We were able to complete the winter term successfully. Campuses were depopulated very quickly out of concern for the safety of the students and faculty. University residences were repurposed to accommodate frontline healthcare workers to protect their families. I also want to underscore how in those first few days and weeks, there was particular care and attention to how international students in Canada were being treated. Universities kept their residences open for them. They kept the meal plans going. They helped the students find work in the summer. They worked with immigration officials to extend study permits. That’s really something that Canada is proud of. Canada lives a multicultural environment. It lives a pluralistic experim ent. We have a very large number of international students that come from a wide range of countries. Because we are such a multicultural society, sometimes we can’t even tell the international student from the Canadian student. That makes the international students very comfortable. Perhaps most significantly, our schools enabled international students to enroll online until such time our borders are reopened. Aside from that, the time spent on online study will beconsidered when international students apply for postgraduate work permits. That’s another feature of our system. We see international students as a real asset to Canada and our economy. Meanwhile, international students also value the chance not only to study here but also get first-hand work experience. Our immigration rules permit international students to work while they’re studying and stay after graduation. That’s a compelling offer. GMI Post: How have universities adapted to this new normal? Davidson: It has been a tumultuous year for everyone and I really feel for international students and their parents who are trying to figure out what they might do next and where they might go. However, the enduring values of Canadian education persists: high quality education, safety and security, and a welcoming environment in a dynamic, progressive country. Our multiculturalism really welcomes diversity and favors young people. Canada is a great place to be if you’re a young person. With the pandemic, universities transformed their educational offerings to maintain their high quality and presented a variety of options. Some small liberal arts undergraduate colleges operate in-person classes. There are parts of the country where the pandemic hasn’t interrupted activity. Then, every university in the country offers online experiences. Depending on whether health and safety conditions allow, some universities are offering more hybrid experiences, which blend synchronous and asynchronous opportunities. We understand it is a challenge for students to be out of the classroom for between 12 and 14 hours a day. So, universities are adapting to allow students to study at a time of their choosing. Some have invested in technology like virtual reality to create an experience that is as immersive as possible. Many schools are also aware that education is not just about courses or the time spent in front of your computer. Education is also about building communities. So, we have seen Canadian universities organize online extracurricular clubs and experiences, like work internships and co-ops. Another underreported aspect is the participation of alumni groups, which reached out to students, both to Canadian and international. With regards to China, there are many highly successful Chinese leaders in government, business, and society who have strong connections to Canadian universities and a deep fondness for their experience in Canada. Some alumni groups have extended scholarships and emergency bursary support. That’s evidence of the kind of community that Canadian universities develop and the sense of affiliation that alumni feel over their lifetime. GMI Post: What are your priorities in the next 2 to 3 years? Davidson: As we look to the future, it’s about growing the number of international students because we have the capacity to serve more. It’s also about encouraging outbound mobility so that Canadian students get more international experience. We want to be partners and not poachers of talent. We want to build talent together. Another rapidly growing area is integrated learning in co-ops and internships, which forms part of our international development strategy. We are formulating strategy that aims to provide every student with a co-op internship as part of his undergraduate experience. That’s a new feature of Canada’s educational system. We are confident that students will find it appealing because they get a hands-on experience as part of their undergraduate studies. We continue to push forward cooperation in international research. Through the pandemic, we’ve seen that science and investing in science are critical. The world has shortened the development of a vaccine from decades to months. But there are also all sorts of areas for research whether it’s climate change or social inequality, or see how countries can work together effectively. We share one planet. So, we will promote the drive towards more international research in the years ahead. We have to keep investing in young people. We have to keep improving our level of knowledge and the breadth of our knowledge so that we can solve these very challenging problems.

 - descriptionThe world's fastest-growing region, Asia has remained the main driver of the global economy for nearly half a century. At the heart of the continent's impressive growth have been value-added manufacturing, high tech innovation and, in the last decade, education. As the leaders of Asian technological innovation, Japan, South Korea and mainland China continue to impress the world with life-changing gadgets and planet-saving technology developed by locals in laboratories and R&D centers at home.

Analysts predict that Greece’s GDP to grow between 3.5 and 4.0 percent in the coming months. Supporting this prediction is the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, which came into effect in 2019, created the world’s largest free trade zone, and gave a strong boost to Greek agri-food exporters. In fact, only one year after the EU-Japan EPA came into effect, Greek exports to Japan doubled. The upcoming report will highlight Greece’s highly profitable prospects outside the EU and identify valuable investment opportunities for Japanese companies.

It was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with China, its largest trading partner followed by Japan and Korea. "We are a geographically isolated nation that places huge reliance on the economic benefit derived from engaging in trade. We need some predictability around that and that is why we really focus and support multilateral agreements," explained Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who expanded New Zealand's FTA with Singapore and initiated new trade talks with the European Union.

 - titleBolivia 2017
 - descriptionWith an annual GDP growth exceeding 5% per year, Bolivia has one of the region's most dynamic economies. Mining of silver, zinc and gold has remained Bolivia's traditional revenue earner. But with a young and growing population, a rising middle class, and enormous tracts of arable land, the country is looking beyond mining and is promoting investments in the services, construction, real estate and agriculture sectors. Bolivia's success is best exemplified by Santa Cruz, once a backwater town of just 40,000 people 50 years ago. Today, the city is home to 3 million Bolivians, or nearly 30% of the country's population, and accounts for almost 40% of Bolivia's economic activity and foreign direct investments. This phenomenal growth is attributed to the city’s strategic location, rich natural resource and more importantly, the residents’ appetite for risk and openness to doing business. Scheduled to be published in the April 2017 in the Japan Times, the Special Business Report on Bolivia will highlight the investment potential of the country and its different cities.

However, over the past two decades, its economy has experienced sluggish growth. Maintaining its position as the third’s largest economy, Japan continues to find new ways in creating economic boost. “As the Japanese government works on a wide range of policies aimed at stimulating economic growth, the ACCJ has offered policy prescriptions that encourage further reform and growth in Japan,” said Christopher LaFleur, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reiterated that his top priority continues to be economic growth, with accelerating Abenomics being key. Introduced in 2012, Abenomics is a set of economic policies combining aggressive fiscal spending, monetary policy, and structural reform.

Undaunted by those limitations, the country has forged free trade agreements with some of the world’s strongest economies, such as the United States, China and Japan. Traditionally a mining economy with the world’s largest copper reserves, Chile has successfully expanded its economic base, capitalizing on its natural beauty to build a dynamic tourism industry and supporting its export sector to attract more investors from Latin America. To mark 120 years of diplomatic relations with Japan and the 10th anniversary of the Chile-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, the upcoming Special Business Report on Chile in the Japan Times will highlight the stability of the country and its ideal investment climate.

Philippe Le Saux and Elizabeth Arcega update from the field. June 20: The team hit the ground running as Week 1 in Taiwan unfolded. All but one of our initial meetings were with foreigners who have chosen to do work and do business in Taiwan. These discussions gave us an interesting preview of what we can expect to hear throughout this stay: Passion and enthusiasm from foreign executives who have discovered the merits of being in this country. This positivity was echoed by the first Taiwanese individuals that we met, the leadership of the <a href="http://www.taipei-101.com.tw/en/index.aspx" target="_blank">Taipei Financial Center Corporation</a>, which is responsible for Taiwan’s most iconic structure: The Taipei 101 Tower. The warmth of our welcome, paired with the rhetoric of excitement and openness conveyed by the Taiwanese, shows the tremendous potential of the 2014 Taiwan Report. - PLS

Over the past 20 years, Panama has laid out the groundwork to become the region’s foremost center in logistics and financial services — a sensible next step in the economy’s development given its position as one of the world’s most important conduits of maritime trade. One of the fastest–growing economies in the Americas, Panama has achieved average GDP growth of 8 percent over the past decade, with the annual figure surpassing 10 percent in some years.

With more than 28 million people, Malaysia’s success is a result of hard work, wisdom, and as resilience of our leadership and our multi-ethnic, multi-religious people.

 - titleJapan 2013
 - descriptionJapan alone has wrestled over the years with the bane of deflation. Deflation robs people of their expectations, turning optimists into pessimists. As I again stand at Japan’s helm, I am driven by a sense of urgency to remedy this scourge of deflation immediately. One way forward will be to take advantage of our resources, which, while incredibly rich, are still largely untapped. One long-neglected resource is our human resources, particularly women and middle-aged and elderly workers.

 - descriptionRecent economic history looks different from the perspective of Australia. Unlike other developed countries, Australia emerged unscathed from the global financial crisis that struck in 2008, and the economy did not fall into recession. An open investment climate, flexible markets, a diverse economy, and effective regulatory systems — these characteristics of our economy served us well. As other economies fell back, Australia was able to stimulate the economy without taking on dangerous levels of national debt.

In 2010, nearly a decade after 9/11, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and U.S. President Barack Obama signed the historic Comprehensive Partnership. And during a visit that year, President Obama’s televised speech at Universitas Indonesia was arguably the most anticipated address by a visiting foreign leader in our history.

Aquino Jr. on August 21, 1983 and it is what brought her to the fore, when her successors attempted to revise the constitution and eradicate all provisions on term limits.

Analysts predict that Greece’s GDP to grow between 3.5 and 4.0 percent in the coming months. Supporting this prediction is the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, which came into effect in 2019, created the world’s largest free trade zone, and gave a strong boost to Greek agri-food exporters. In fact, only one year after the EU-Japan EPA came into effect, Greek exports to Japan doubled. The upcoming report will highlight Greece’s highly profitable prospects outside the EU and identify valuable investment opportunities for Japanese companies. Inquiries regarding this report can be directed to Project Coordinator <a href="mailto:francis@gmipost.com?subject=Special%20Report%20on%20Greece" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Francis Pacheco</a>.

 titleSouthern California 2017
 descriptionDuring his state visit to the United States in April 2016, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reaffirmed his confidence that Japan and the United States would “together pave the way toward a new era.” He also acknowledged the “infinite possibilities” for increased Japanese-U.S. collaboration. Global Media Inc. will be revisiting Southern California to prepare a special business report highlighting the ties between Japan and the United States. The report follows the success of the regional reports produced in 2014 and 2015 on the strong Japanese-American links in Los Angeles, San Diego, Northern California, the Midwest USA, Southern USA, Southwest USA, New England and the Atlantic Coast. The special report will provide an update on the strong relationship between Southern California and Japan. As of 2016, Japan stands as the largest source of foreign-owned enterprise (FOE) jobs in Southern California, accounting for 21.7% of all FOE jobs in the region, with 2,440 Japanese-affiliated companies providing over 79,000 jobs. Scheduled to be published in June of 2017, the Special Business Report on Southern California will promote the robust trade and investment environment in the region.

 titleBolivia 2017
 descriptionWith an annual GDP growth exceeding 5% per year, Bolivia has one of the region's most dynamic economies. Mining of silver, zinc and gold has remained Bolivia's traditional revenue earner. But with a young and growing population, a rising middle class, and enormous tracts of arable land, the country is looking beyond mining and is promoting investments in the services, construction, real estate and agriculture sectors. Bolivia's success is best exemplified by Santa Cruz, once a backwater town of just 40,000 people 50 years ago. Today, the city is home to 3 million Bolivians, or nearly 30% of the country's population, and accounts for almost 40% of Bolivia's economic activity and foreign direct investments. This phenomenal growth is attributed to the city’s strategic location, rich natural resource and more importantly, the residents’ appetite for risk and openness to doing business. Scheduled to be published in the April 2017 in the Japan Times, the Special Business Report on Bolivia will highlight the investment potential of the country and its different cities.

What does the future hold for this global powerhouse?

 contentAs an innovator in a wide range of industries, Japan has exported its game changing technologies and expertise to the rest of the world. However, over the past two decades, its economy has experienced sluggish growth. Maintaining its position as the third’s largest economy, Japan continues to find new ways in creating economic boost. “As the Japanese government works on a wide range of policies aimed at stimulating economic growth, the ACCJ has offered policy prescriptions that encourage further reform and growth in Japan,” said Christopher LaFleur, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reiterated that his top priority continues to be economic growth, with accelerating Abenomics being key. Introduced in 2012, Abenomics is a set of economic policies combining aggressive fiscal spending, monetary policy, and structural reform.

Philippe Le Saux and Elizabeth Arcega update from the field. June 20: The team hit the ground running as Week 1 in Taiwan unfolded. All but one of our initial meetings were with foreigners who have chosen to do work and do business in Taiwan. These discussions gave us an interesting preview of what we can expect to hear throughout this stay: Passion and enthusiasm from foreign executives who have discovered the merits of being in this country. This positivity was echoed by the first Taiwanese individuals that we met, the leadership of the <a href="http://www.taipei-101.com.tw/en/index.aspx" target="_blank">Taipei Financial Center Corporation</a>, which is responsible for Taiwan’s most iconic structure: The Taipei 101 Tower. The warmth of our welcome, paired with the rhetoric of excitement and openness conveyed by the Taiwanese, shows the tremendous potential of the 2014 Taiwan Report. - PLS

 titlePanama 2013
 descriptionSince the introduction of an economic liberalization program and the privatization of state assets in the mid-1990s, Panama has experienced steep growth in its gross domestic product that many nations in any part of the world will surely find enviable. Over the past 20 years, Panama has laid out the groundwork to become the region’s foremost center in logistics and financial services — a sensible next step in the economy’s development given its position as one of the world’s most important conduits of maritime trade. One of the fastest–growing economies in the Americas, Panama has achieved average GDP growth of 8 percent over the past decade, with the annual figure surpassing 10 percent in some years.

 descriptionAfter 160 years of shared history, the USA and Japan have become strong partners in diplomacy and trade. This is especially evident in Southern California, where Japan remains the largest source of foreign direct investment and significant driver of its economy. As of January 2020, there are around 800 Japanese companies in Southern California, which generate about 80,000 jobs. Both sides look forward to a further flourishing of relations with the accession of Japan's Emperor Naruhito last May and the start of Reiwa Era, which aspires to bring "beautiful harmony" between Japan and its friends, and with a signing of a new limited trade deal.

 descriptionGMI Post is headed to Guayaquil and Quito to research and prepare a Special Business Report on Ecuador, to be published in the Japan Times in the 4th quarter of 2019, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Ecuador. This is part of GMI Post's ongoing series of reports on South America. During last year's visit to Ecuador, Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono cited that as more Japanese companies were looking towards Ecuador, more Ecuadorian products were reaching Japanese consumers than ever before. Trade between Japan and Ecuador reached $1.2 billion in 2017 as value-added Ecuadorian products such as cacao, shrimp and bananas have become highly sought after in the Japanese market.

 descriptionWith its large number of export-focused industries, New Zealand has had to be pragmatic about trade, given the size of its economy and its geographic distance to the world's largest markets. It was the first developed country to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with China, its largest trading partner followed by Japan and Korea. "We are a geographically isolated nation that places huge reliance on the economic benefit derived from engaging in trade. We need some predictability around that and that is why we really focus and support multilateral agreements," explained Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who expanded New Zealand's FTA with Singapore and initiated new trade talks with the European Union.

Undaunted by those limitations, the country has forged free trade agreements with some of the world’s strongest economies, such as the United States, China and Japan. Traditionally a mining economy with the world’s largest copper reserves, Chile has successfully expanded its economic base, capitalizing on its natural beauty to build a dynamic tourism industry and supporting its export sector to attract more investors from Latin America. To mark 120 years of diplomatic relations with Japan and the 10th anniversary of the Chile-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, the upcoming Special Business Report on Chile in the Japan Times will highlight the stability of the country and its ideal investment climate.

But Qatar is also rich in ambition as it embarks on creating a future founded on a limitless resource — knowledge and innovation. Overseen by His Highness the Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the country has developed the Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030, which outlines various projects to build a knowledge and talent-based economy within seventeen years. The Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), the first of its kind, began operations five years ago as an initiative of Her Highness Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser to stimulate innovative industries.

To facilitate the movement of goods valued at trillions of dollars, the Netherlands has constantly expanded the Port of Rotterdam, the largest in Europe, as well as Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, the world’s fourth-busiest in passenger traffic. “If you are looking for a foothold in continental Europe where business culture is similar to that in the United States, and for a global hub for the United States with excellent logistics possibilities for the rest of Europe and the world, then the Netherlands is the place to be,” said Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans.

 titleJapan 2013
 descriptionJapan alone has wrestled over the years with the bane of deflation. Deflation robs people of their expectations, turning optimists into pessimists. As I again stand at Japan’s helm, I am driven by a sense of urgency to remedy this scourge of deflation immediately. One way forward will be to take advantage of our resources, which, while incredibly rich, are still largely untapped. One long-neglected resource is our human resources, particularly women and middle-aged and elderly workers.

 titleAustralia 2012
 descriptionRecent economic history looks different from the perspective of Australia. Unlike other developed countries, Australia emerged unscathed from the global financial crisis that struck in 2008, and the economy did not fall into recession. An open investment climate, flexible markets, a diverse economy, and effective regulatory systems — these characteristics of our economy served us well. As other economies fell back, Australia was able to stimulate the economy without taking on dangerous levels of national debt.

 descriptionIn the mid-1950s, in the middle of the Cold War, an Indonesian government crumbled in the wake of a vote of no confidence in parliament after it pursued a security agreement with the United States. In 2010, nearly a decade after 9/11, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and U.S. President Barack Obama signed the historic Comprehensive Partnership. And during a visit that year, President Obama’s televised speech at Universitas Indonesia was arguably the most anticipated address by a visiting foreign leader in our history.

 descriptionThe People Power Revolution of February 1986 broke the political evolutionary logjam that followed the proclamation of martial law by Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1972. That was how the late Corazon C. Aquino viewed her role in the restoration of democracy after the assassination of her husband, Benigno S. Aquino Jr. on August 21, 1983 and it is what brought her to the fore, when her successors attempted to revise the constitution and eradicate all provisions on term limits.
