China Scholarship Council (CSC)

The Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program (CCSEP) is based on reciprocal agreements between the Government of Canada and the Government of the People’s Republic of China. Established in 1973, the CCSEP was the result of an undertaking by then Chinese premier Zhou Enlai and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Canadian scholars have brought new perspectives to their host country and acquired enhanced knowledge and understanding of China.
