CIBT Education Group Inc. (TSX:MBA, OTCQX International: MBAIF) (the “Company” or “CIBT”) reports that it was featured on the front page of The Province newspaper on December 8th 2014.

In the article, The Province reported that international student Wendy Qi “is renting a downtown condo for $2,000 a month and finding herself alone most of the time”. When asked about CIBT’s plan to build affordable student housing, she called the plan an “excellent idea”.

“Finding an apartment was very hard. If you want to rent one, you have to do it immediately. You cannot think about it for a month,” Ms. Qi stated. “It was a little expensive but I had no choice.” The demand for student housing in Metro Vancouver outstrips supply. There are over 5,200 students as of December 2014 on the University of British Columbia’s dormitory wait list; those who have accommodation are paying 12 months of rent for 9 months of use.

Informed of CIBT’s service orientated apartments, Ms. Qi said the idea is “better” than living alone in a condo. “If I can find a place like that, I will choose that one. I am not familiar with my neighbors here. I spend most of my time with my computer.” CIBT is developing a network of serviced rental apartments offering a variety of services such as international student landing service, hot meals, student lounge for after school activities, shuttle bus to and from nearby schools, private tutoring, excursion activities for the weekends and student counseling. These services will assure a safe, secure and convenient environment for international students to study, relax and enjoy their stay in Canada.

“CIBT has a unique advantage,” commented Toby Chu, Vice Chairman, President and CEO of CIBT Group. “By utilizing our integrated services of global network of schools, recruitment agreements and services, the Company will provide a pipeline of international students to fill the serviced apartments and Education Super Center.”
