Offered by Global Affairs Canada and China’s Ministry of Education, the Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program (CCSEP) aims to foster deeper mutual understanding, build strong academic and professional ties between Canada and China, and develop future Canadian leaders with expertise and experience in China. CCSEP alumni are part of a distinguished network of professionals who have gone on to build impactful careers in academia, public service, business, and other fields that contribute meaningfully to Canada-China engagement.  

The program provides an excellent opportunity to learn Chinese, and/or pursue post-secondary studies or research at leading institutions across China.   

Who is eligible to apply? 

• Students at the post-secondary level

• Faculty members and researchers

• Mid-career professionals 

Candidates must be Canadian Citizens. 

Last year, the program introduced new components to expand eligibility and create new opportunities for participants:  

• Longer Stays for Graduate Students: Graduate students can now stay in China for up to 24 months with the option to obtain a graduate degree from designated learning institutions in China. 

• Shorter Stays for Professionals: The minimum stay requirement for faculty, researchers, and mid-career professionals has been reduced from 2 months to 1 month, offering greater flexibility for those seeking short-term professional development opportunities. 

The deadline to apply on the My EduCanada portal is January 12, 2026, 11:59 p.m. EST. Apply today to start your extraordinary adventure in China!
