Columbia International College (CIC) proudly hosted the Fall University Fair on October 4, bringing admissions officers from nearly 20 universities and colleges in Canada and Australia to campus. This event allowed students to connect directly with representatives, gaining insights into their programs and exploring future academic paths.

In addition to this major fair, CIC will be also hosting specialized Theme Day Mini-Fairs throughout November, focusing on specific academic fields to offer more targeted information. These mini-fairs will provide students with incredible opportunities to ask detailed questions and explore programs that align with their interests.
