About
> What does CAP do? CAP eases the pressure of making the right decision about a College/University, a decision that will impact a student for the rest of his or her life. It offers tailored assistance and academic counselling to students and parents when choosing a college or a university in Canada or the United States. CAP’s services cover every step of this important transition: assessing
the students needs and goals, gathering admission materials, searching for and finding the right institution, assistance in completing applications, organising campus visits, help with relocation and adaptation. CAP helps students and parents make good decisions about the future, while saving them time and money. It reduces risks, errors and misfits. Finally, CAP is a liaison between students, College/University and overseas-based parents.
