The objective of the Canadian Studies Program is to develop a greater knowledge and understanding of Canada, its values and its culture among scholars and other influential groups abroad. Programs offer support to academics outside Canada for teaching, research and publication about Canada in various disciplines. There is more than 24 national and multinational Canadian Studies associations around the world.

The scope of Canadian Studies Program varies greatly from one institution to the next. Courses deal with questions involving Canada's bilateral and multilateral relations and such subjects as: English-and French-Canadian literature; culture and the arts; history; social and political sciences; geography; business studies; the Canadian political system; the economy; status of women; aboriginal issues; multiculturalism; social values; the environment; law; information media; and even regional development.

These programs also generate an extraordinary amount of research on Canada. In addition to Canadian Studies journals published by the associations, the articles, these, essays, books and studies on Canadian realities tally in the hundreds each year. What's more, these documents often prove useful to national governments in their relations with Canada.
