Edtech solutions catering to "geography agnostic" students across the world are preparing for a disrupted student recruitment market beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. Successful and scaling entrepreneurs were among those speaking at The PIE Live.

While stakeholders have welcomed the news that borders are being opened from October 20, several issues remain for international students planning to come to Canada, according to a PIE Live panel.

Times Higher Education has announced a partnership with Applyboard as it continues to build an end-to-end platform for prospective international students.

ApplyBoard has raised a further C$70 million in Series C funding and says the strategic partnership with ETS will provide prospective students with an end-to-end application experience.

Online student marketplace ApplyBoard has raised C$100m in Series C funding, bringing its value to C$2bn, officially making it a unicorn.

Former UK universities minister, Jo Johnson, has been appointed as advisory board chairman of the Canadian student recruitment platform ApplyBoard. 

ApplyBoard has secured C$55 Million in Series B funding which it said will fuel market expansion to make education accessible to more students around the world. With this round, the company has raised C$72 million in total funding.

ApplyBoard has hosted Canada's minister of Immigration Ahmed Hussen and member of Parliament Kitchener, Raj Saini at its head office to open a discussion around how to make education more accessible.
