Privacy Impact Assessment for Canada's International Scholarship Programs

Global Affairs Canada's Preliminary Privacy Impact Assessment (PPIA) examines privacy risks and compliance for international scholarship programs administered by the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE). The assessment was conducted using the department's Privacy Assessment Tool, including tutorials and a questionnaire. It identifies potential privacy risks and offers mitigation strategies.
