Therefore, in order to ensure that employees are protected, the educational provider based in Australia should develop a strategic relationship with the Canadian Human right Act (CHRA) to protect its employees from any form of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, and age. In addition, Salimova (2014) indicates that, by establishing a strategic partnership with Canadian organizations such as Canadian e-Learning Enterprise Alliance (CeLEA) whose aim is to enable companies in Canada to increase its share of the revenue that come from increased growth worldwide market in e-leaning, the educational provider based in Australia will be able to establish a successful online education business in the competitive education field in Canada and as a result increasing their profits while creating awareness on the issue of sustainability.
