life • February 19, 2025
This year, EduCanada wanted to hear directly from international students. So, we did what Canadians do best—shared a meal and great conversation over some iconic Canadian dishes!
Our five international students discovered special Canadian treats while sharing their stories about studying in Canada.
We hope you enjoy meeting them as much as we did. Which Canadian food would you want to try first?!
