Association Overview

Canada Jilin Association is a non-profit community organization established on May 1, 2004. Our mission is to build a bridge for Jilin natives overseas and friends who care about Jilin, serving as a link for exchange and development between overseas Chinese and their hometown of Jilin, providing platforms for information sharing and mutual development.

Since its founding, Canada Jilin Association has grown from just over ten members to more than 1,200 members. Our annual Spring Festival Gala, Summer BBQ, camping events, and other large-scale activities not only provide platforms for emotional connection among Jilin natives overseas but also greatly assist members in life development and integration into local society! Supporting new immigrants to settle, enriching seniors' lives, and providing performance stages for youth have become systematic initiatives of Canada Jilin Association!

We invite more Jilin natives overseas to join hands and work together to create a brilliant life in our second home!
