Who We Serve
International students are a key driver to Canada’s future prosperity and Canada has been extremely successful recruiting students from overseas. Unfortunately, very low percentage of the international students in Canada obtained permanent residency, one of the main reasons is the challenge in finding employment. At CareerCamp, it is our duty to change that statistic and keep the talents Canada worked so hard to recruit!
COVID-19 may have changed the way we work and interact with others forever. The new normal has created even more barriers and much higher pressure for the newcomer professionals and career changers in securing a professional job. At CareerCamp, we understand the challenges and are full of experience in supporting your success.
In recent years, we've also supported experienced professionals and senior managers / executives for their pursuing management or event C-level positions in Canada and beyond the borders.

Canadian International Education Service Centre (CIESC) was established in 2001 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
As the largest licenced Chinese immigration consulting and educational recruitment agency in Manitoba, CIESC has been officially authorized by many Manitoba universities, colleges and school divisions to recruit international students.
In 2005, CIESC started the first ever international student cohort program in the history of Manitoba's Institute of Higher Learning, with then Winnipeg Technical College (WTC) - now Manitoba Institute of Trades & Technology (MITT). Since then CIESC has also had many international student cohort programs consecutively with Assiniboine Community College, University College of the North, Louis Riel School Division, and Robertson College for 14 years.
CIESC is also the largest Chinese immigration consulting firm that has brought into Manitoba hundreds of Chinese business investors, many of whom have successfully settled down in Manitoba and started their businesses. In the coming years, CIESC will continuously improve and work much harder to promote Manitoba, to bring in more Chinese business investors to Manitoba, and to make greater contributions to local economy by creating more jobs and generating more business activities.
