Tresor Solutions

What Tresor Solutions does

Tresor Solutions Inc. is a privately held, Toronto-based international education management firm founded in 2004, headquartered in Markham, Ontario. The company operates as an intermediary that develops and manages partnership projects between Canadian, American, and Chinese universities and colleges, with four stated service lines: development and management of international collaboration programs, curriculum design and institution operations, international student recruitment, and global education needs research and solutions. Its primary customers are North American universities and colleges seeking international enrollment (particularly from China) and international students seeking pathways into those institutions; a secondary line of business is delivered through wholly-owned subsidiary Tresor Immigration Consulting Inc. (TICI), which provides Canadian study permits, work permits, post-graduate work permits, permanent residence, and citizenship guidance.

Tresor monetizes through professional services: it acts as the exclusive Global Education Partner for Salem University (since 2006), operates the FAR Center / Strategic Enrollment Management Center for Trinity Western University (since 2020), and runs recruitment and marketing for the University of Detroit Mercy's MA in Financial Economics program (since 2005). It operates its own OSSD high school, Toronto Trinity Collegiate in Markham, giving it a captive pipeline at the secondary-school stage. Physical offices span Markham (HQ), North York, Vancouver, Beijing, and Shanghai, supporting both institutional liaison and on-the-ground student outreach in second- and third-tier Chinese cities. There is no proprietary technology platform; the business is relationship- and service-driven.

Cumulatively, Tresor states it has recruited more than 1,000 students from high school through graduate levels since inception and developed 10+ institutional partnerships over nearly two decades. The company has publicly stated plans to expand into Europe and South America. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are disclosed in the available data.
