The Canada and U.S. relationship is forged by shared geography, similar values, common interests, deep personal connections, and multi-layered economic ties. Enhancing these bonds through academic exchanges promotes thoughtful debate on topics that reflect the broad range of contemporary issues relevant to Canada, the U.S., and the relationship between the two countries. 

Applying for a Fulbright Canada award is key to supporting these important objectives.
