It is a state-owned enterprise affiliated to the National Development & Reform Commission Training Center which is one of the few state-owned immigration and international education agencies in China. The National Development & Reform Commission (NDRC) is a ministry-level branch under the State Council researching and formulating policies for economic and social development, directing China’s overall economic system reform.

Currently, three reasons contribute to the studying-abroad boom in China. Firstly, with China’s becoming a member of the World Trade Organization, more and more international enterprises enter the Chinese market, where employees with international background are highly demanded. Therefore an increasing number of Chinese students choose to pursue higher education abroad in order to increase competition add-on in their future job-seeking. Secondly, with the sharp increase of enrollment in Chinese higher Education institutions, the universities and colleges in China are too crowded to guarantee qualified and adequate resources for each student as before, and substantial amount of excellent Chinese student choose to study abroad for better education environment. Especially since the universities and colleges in Hong Kong and Macau began to enroll high school students in Mainland China, the western education system adopted there has been increasingly accepted by the Chinese families. In 2006, the number of applicants from the cities of Beijing Shenzhen and Shanghai to study in Hong Kong and Macau increased by 20% compared with the year 2005. The universities in Hong Kong attracted nearly a hundred top high-school graduates from Mainland China every year. On top of that, the excellent oversea high-schools also catch the eyeballs of the Chinese top students and many of them choose to transfer to complete their secondary education overseas so as to make full preparation for pursuing further study overseas. Last but not least, as one of the best education resources providers in the world, Canada has always been the preferential option of the Chinese mainland students. Each year, millions of students from China mainland apply for studying abroad, and the market of international education in China will be substantially extending to a larger scale.
