TORONTO 11 April 2022 - A Memorandum of Understanding on higher education cooperation was signed between MMSU and Evergreen College, a Canadian private career college,   during the Meet and Greet and launching of the Global Alumni Network at the Islas Filipino Restaurant on 02 April 2022.

MMSU is among the ranking state universities in the Philippines, earning high ratings including as a three-star institution by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) in 2020.

In his remarks during the event, Philippine Consul General Orontes V. Castro expounded on the services and programs of the Consulate General, including the Credentials Recognition in Canada (CRC) Project initiated by the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa with the support of the Consulates General in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary. The project hopes to have the credentials of Filipino professionals recognized by the Canadian Government so that they can practice their profession in Canada.

He also highlighted the importance of the alumni in preparing and guiding Filipino students and professionals intending to work in Canada, citing that a number of nursing graduates of MMSU are in Canada.

The event was led by MMSU President Dr. Shirley C. Agrupis, who was part of the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) delegation which visited Canada on 26 March to 01 April 2022 for networking and meetings with Canada-based Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

Consul General Castro was accompanied by Consul Rodney Jonas L. Sumague, Labor Attaché Rachel Zozobrado-Nagayo and Welfare Officer Malou Reyes during the event.
