BCCIE recognizes the importance or working collaboratively and collectively to promote our international education interests overseas. In cooperation with Canadian mission staff, BC trade offices, and other overseas partners, BCCIE is organizing a series of Team BC Missions in the 2009-10 cycle. Most missions are open to both K-12 and post-secondary accredited institutions.

While parts of most missions are anchored around a specific fair or series of fairs, the added value delivered to institutions rests in the additional activities organized in conjunction to these fairs. These include country briefings, networking receptions, coordinated school visits, agent training, leadership opportunities, and programs tailored to the specific requests of participating institutions.

Missions planned for 2009/10 include the following:
