The CPIEAs
INTRODUCTION
We should all have an interest in international
education. According to a Canadian Bureau of
International Education (CBIE) report the number of
“internationally mobile” students in 2014 was 5 million,
with this number expected to reach 7 million by 2022.
IMPACT
In Canada, approximately $8 billion is derived annually
from international student expenditures, while also
creating over 81,000 jobs and generating more than
$445 million in government revenue, according to the
CBIE.
IMPORTANCE
The economic benefits are clear, but there are
others. Global Affairs Canada states, “By engaging in
international education, Canada advances its own
public diplomacy goals and prosperity while supporting
the growth of the global knowledge economy.”
FIRST OF ITS KIND
It’s against this multi-layered backdrop of education,
culture and economics that the Canadian Premier
International Education Awards (CPIEAs) were born.
ThE CPIEA VISION AND MISSION
With a vision of “A World Where Education is Valued
and Celebrated,” and a mission “To Recognize the
People Who Make Education Their Mission,” the
CPIEAs highlight the efforts and dedication of those
effecting positive change in the industry.
hOW ThE CPIEAS WORK
The CPIEAs recognize Awardees and Winners in seven
categories.
Group One
Awardees are selected by the CPIEAs committee and
approved by an independent judging panel after
extensive research into their programs, policies and
activities. Recipients are awarded according to their
participation and initiatives in global education.
Group Two
The CPIEAs are proving to have a deep spirit of
generosity through their Student Category. Each year, the
four Gold winners of Group Three select four deserving
students to receive educational scholarships to study
abroad. Through this category the CPIEAs are giving back
and remain dedicated to transforming, lives, forever.
Group Three
Recruiters are divided into four tiers:
Agency of the Year (10 or More Educational Consultants)
Small Agency of the Year (5-9 Educational Consultants)
Dynamic Agency of the Year (1-4 Educational Consultants)
New Agency of the Year (2-5 Years in Business)
These four tiers are selected through an extensive
application and judging process. The Gold, Silver
