DESCRIPTION
ICEF's Director of the CIS countries Mr Sergey Krasnyanskiy travelled to the Ukraine to liaise with educational agencies and learn about current trends among Ukrainians that are affecting their attitudes towards international education.

Kateryna SosninaStudentlandTM Kyiv, Ukraine
www.studentland.ua Email: [email protected]
Theoretical essentials
Request agency profile and ask
year of establishment statistics accreditation, memberships references location staff certification / familiarization with Canada business license participation in workshops and trainings
Practical tips
Check website
content contact information compare contact information with business license.
Be aware that difference in these two may occur in trading address and legal one
Use social networks to check
activity existence of contact people
Pay attention to agency email
free is alarming company is calming
Try agency professionalism
arrange on-site visit or skype conversation
Call agency office
check whether somebody picks up the phone during the business hours
Practical tips
Google will help you
Google agency name and location
Approach educational institutions for reference
not necessarily from Canada
Cooperate only on prepayment basis
at least first year
Practical tips
Size does not mean quality!
small company can be unique for you
No Canadian experience means nothing
if agency proves to be professional on other markets
Always ask for emergency contacts
just in case
Do not expect big numbers within a year
obligatory numbers might lead to poor quality
Practical tips
Question a student upon arrival
agency charges (service, visa support)
Come back with follow ups in 2-3 months
to check how well the agency is educated
Check agency’s accuracy with CIC regulations
at the end of day you might be responsible
Practical tips
Request Embassy list of agencies
agency is not on the list - does not mean bad
Fill free to communicate with Embassy of Canada in Ukraine if you have any concerns
Ukraine has the best Embassy, huge country and up to 10 million of students
