Presently because of the existing exchange
rates it is cheaper for USA students to come to Canada for
affordable training and accommodations versus USA locations.
The cost of providing training in the United States would be much
more expensive as we would need to charge US currency along with
hotel costs, this would be too significant in comparison to training
in Canada. |
