GuardMe Canadian Arts & Culture Gala | CPF Vancouver 2025

ILAC is excited to welcome our longterm partner, GuardMe, at CPF Vancouver 2025! Once again, GuardMe will be hosting the annual Canadian Arts & Culture Gala on Saturday, May 10.

GuardMe is a proudly Canadian-owned and independent company, and has been unwavering in its commitment to safeguarding international students, staff and schools since 1998. For nearly three decades, GuardMe has poured itself into building strong partnerships with educational institutions to bolster student support and foster safe, nurturing learning environments that make a difference.

As a trailblazer in the industry, GuardMe was the first to introduce a Wellness Program, recognizing that mental health is just as vital as physical well-being. Its 24/7 multilingual mental health helpline, virtual counselling and crisis intervention services provide immediate, culturally sensitive support, empowering students to navigate life abroad confidently.

GuardMe was also the first provider to achieve ISO and SOC 2 compliance in both security and privacy. Unlike its venture-capital-backed competitors, GuardMe stores all student data exclusively in Canadian data centres, safeguarded by some of the world's strictest privacy laws. With advanced encryption and continuous investment in security innovations, GuardMe has set the industry benchmark for data protection.

This weekend over 400 international education delegates will attend CPF Vancouver 2025, including international and on-shore education agents and representatives from Canadian colleges, universities and related services.

The Canadian Arts & Culture Gala will take place at the Vancouver Art Gallery and guests are encoured to dress in green and gold
