Chinese candidates applying for a Canadian taxpayer-funded exchange program must declare allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership and the Party’s “socialist system,” The Epoch Times has learned.

Global Affairs Canada issued a notice about the launch of the 2024–25 Canada-China Scholars’ Exchange Program for Chinese applicants on April 9. The notice provides a link to a corresponding notice on the Chinese regime agency’s website specifying the conditions for applicants.
