A Pioneering Institution in International Education
CLLC is the only educational institution in the world that has established a comprehensive recognition system designed to elevate and standardize the international education industry.
This system, known as the Canadian Premier International Education Agencies (CPIEA), encompasses three integral components: the CPIEA Awards, CPIEA Accreditation, and the CPIEA Global Summit. These initiatives collectively celebrate excellence, foster collaboration, and drive innovation within the international education sector.

The Foundation of CPIEAs
Since 2007, Aly Rajab, the founder and chairman of CLLC, envisioned a framework that would distinguish exceptional educational agencies in the international education industry.
Understanding the critical role that international recruiters and agencies play in facilitating global education, he designed the CPIEAs to recognize and reward excellence, with a rigorous but accessible application process. The CPIEAs are free to apply for, ensuring that the recognition is based solely on merit, and aim to enhance the credibility and integrity of the awarded agencies.
Winning The CPIEA is a Victory
The CPIEA Awards and Accreditation
Winning a CPIEA is not just an accolade; it is a mark of distinction that signifies an agency’s commitment to the highest standards of quality and ethical practices. The CPIEA Awards are segmented into categories that cover the diverse landscape of international education agencies, ensuring comprehensive recognition.
Building on this, the CPIEA Accreditation is offered exclusively to award-winning agencies, further endorsing their dedication to excellence and integrity. This accreditation serves as a seal of approval, signaling to students and institutions that they can trust in the services provided by these agencies.
The Two-Milestone Plan
In 2007, Aly Rajab laid out a two-decade plan to raise the standards within the international education sector. This plan included two milestones: the first was to establish a community of high-quality agencies by awarding and accrediting deserving participants; the second milestone, set to conclude by 2030, aims to expand this community to 185 accredited agencies worldwide.
This ambitious plan is designed to create a robust network of agencies that uphold the highest standards in education and student services.
CLLC - Innovation with Integrity
In 2010, CLLC became the Innovator Sponsor of the CPIEAs, marking the first decade of this initiative. CLLC's sponsorship has been instrumental in promoting the awards and ensuring their success. With an independent judging panel composed of industry leaders outside the international education sector, the CPIEAs maintain a high level of impartiality and credibility.
The same year, CLLC launched its new slogan: "CLLC – Innovation with Integrity," reflecting its commitment to fostering a culture of excellence and ethical practices in the international education industry
CPIEA Global Summit
The CPIEA Global Summit is a crucial component of the CPIEA framework, bringing together top education professionals, award-winning and accredited agencies, and selected educational institutions. This annual event serves as a platform for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas, driving the international education industry forward. Participants in the summit gain exclusive insights into industry trends, best practices, and future developments, making it a must-attend event for leaders in the field.
CPIEAs Community
From 2012 to 2022, the CPIEAs awarded and accredited 65 agencies, successfully achieving the first milestone. The second milestone, which runs from 2022 to 2030, focuses on expanding this community to include 120+ winners and 60+ accredited agencies. This growing network is not only a testament to the success of the CPIEAs but also a driving force in shaping the future of international education. This means that the CPIEAs highlight the top 1% of international agents worldwide, showcasing only the most exceptional agencies that set the standard for excellence in the industry.
CPIEAs Mission
The mission of the CPIEAs is to build a stronger, more interconnected global education community by recognizing excellence and promoting collaboration. Through the awards, accreditation, and the Global Summit, the CPIEAs provide agencies with the tools and recognition they need to continue making a positive impact on students' educational journeys.
The CPIEAs remain committed to enhancing the quality and integrity of the international education sector, ensuring that the next generation of students has access to the best possible educational opportunities.
