Celebrating the 2025 International Day of Education!

At FCI, we’re proud to support international students as they embark on their educational journey in British Columbia. Known as a top destination for students worldwide, BC offers a renowned education system that provides exceptional opportunities for academic and personal growth.

Schools across the province excel in supporting students whose first language is not English, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. BC’s schools also stand out with their diverse range of sports and extracurricular activities, helping students build connections, explore new passions, and thrive in a well-rounded learning experience.

We are honour to be part of this journey!

Celebrating International Migrants Day!

Today, on International Migrants Day, we recognize the incredible contributions of migrants who have shaped Canada into the diverse and inclusive country we know today. 🇨🇦✨

Canada’s story is one of migration—a coming together of people from all over the world to build strong communities, share cultures, and drive innovation. Migrants, including refugees, enrich our society in countless ways and play a key role in our country’s growth and prosperity.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the resilience, talents, and dedication of migrants who make Canada stronger every day. ❤️
