I am thankful that this scholarship provides such a valuable opportunity for students in developing countries, like myself, to pursue higher education in Canada’s world-class educational system. I am deeply impressed by the commitment of the University of Victoria and the Canadian educational system in general which collectively work to encourage community engagement, support community development, and improve the quality of people’s lives and natural resources, both throughout Canada and other regions in the world.
Quanhong Jiang from China. Canada – China Scholars Exchange Program Awardee (2012)
University of Ottawa (Business Management, visiting Scholar)
2012 was my most fortunate and happy time in my life. That year I was supported by the Canada – China Scholars Exchange Program (CCSEP) and realized my dream ever since 2003. The spring, summer, fall and winter enable me to truly experience Canada and fall deeply in love with the beautiful country.
Dr. Xiao Qiong from China. Canada – China Scholars Exchange Program Awardee (2011)
University of Ottawa (Indigenous Studies, visiting Scholar)
The Canada – China Scholars Exchange Program (CCSEP) is so valuable and meaningful because it provided me with a precious opportunity to do further studies in Canada. Not only did I deeply experience the kindness and friendship of the Canadian people, but I also comprehensively learned about Canada’s harmonious multiculturalism and peaceful diversity through the colorful social events in Ottawa. Furthermore, my teaching method and research methodology was greatly refreshed and upgraded through my participation in my supervisor’s class at the University of Ottawa. I know all these important things cannot be gained from textbooks and will benefit me a lot in my future teaching and research work in China.
Xiangfei Qu from China. Canada – China Scholars Exchange Program Awardee (2011)
University of Victoria (Law, visiting scholar)
I loved Victoria from the beginning of my stay in Canada. Victoria is the oldest city in western Canada, and has the oldest Chinatown in North America. Heritage is alive and well in Victoria! The aura of history is very much evident in the public buildings and elegant homes of the last century. Victoria is known as the “city of gardens”, beautiful in all seasons, “a perfect Eden” with England character.
