According to comprehensive reports from WorldWay: On July 15,, the Chinese Student Association of Canada officially announced its founding in Toronto. Consul General Fang Li from the Chinese Consulate in Toronto, Education Counselor Xu Wei Ya, Chief Representative Wu Yunru from the China International Talent Exchange Association's Canadian office, representatives from Chinese student associations from over a dozen Canadian universities, as well as some professionals and community representatives attended the founding conference.
In his address, Fang Li stated that Canada is one of the countries with a large number of Chinese international students. Out of more than 100,000 Chinese international students across Canada, nearly half are studying in Ontario and Manitoba, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Toronto consulate, with most concentrated in the Greater Toronto Area.
Liu Yuchenkai, president of the Chinese Student Association of Canada, introduced that the association's staff comes from Chinese student associations in several universities across Canada and has years of study abroad experience, having personally encountered various challenges faced by international students. At the same time, the association has established good communication channels with the Toronto consulate and various Chinese community organizations, and will provide practical and reliable services for the Chinese international student community in Canada, truly becoming an association that overseas students can rely on.
The Chinese Student Association of Canada is a non-profit organization initiated by student groups and service teams from ten universities in Canada, aiming to unite Chinese international students across Canada and provide comprehensive and complete services for their studies, lives, and work, thereby promoting educational and academic exchanges, resource sharing, and mutual development and progress between China and Canada.
