Canada is Taking More International Students than Other Countries

Canada is becoming the most preferred country for all international students due to its welcoming immigration policy. The enrollment of international students is growing every year.

In the past five years, the overall increase is 73% of international students, and in last year it has raised to 16.25%. 

There are many reasons for students opting for Canada for their further studies and job. One of the reason is that the future looks bright as Canada maintains its active international recruitment numbers.

Compared to the United States, Canada is still in the fourth position as America is the first choice for international students when it comes to postsecondary education and employment opportunities for them. 

Luckily, Canada has maintained its active and welcoming nature towards international students, and they are the key part of the Canadian population. Among Western countries, Canada has the fourth-highest number of migrants, and as per the UN population division, 21% of the Canadian population is foreign-born. The major international students are coming from India and China. 

As per 2018 survey by the three top reasons for Canada being the top choice is:

  • Good Quality education
  • Non-discriminatory society and welcoming nature
  • Safe Country

Post joining Canada University and colleges, students are incredibly happy with their decision and recommend others too. Canada helps many international students to complete their education and provide residency and employment there.

Canadian Government considers international students as the future of Canada, which gives motivation to many students to settle there. 

Quality of education in Canadian universities is well recognized and does well in the international ranking. There is a wide array of Canadian institutions to choose from, and all of them provide world-class education.

The cost of living in Canada is affordable as compared to other destinations. An average tuition fee in Canada for international students is higher as compared to domestic students, but when compared with other countries, it is the most inexpensive.

Studying abroad is an expensive program, but Canada allows international students to work while they study for 20 hours per week. They don’t need a work permit also to work off-campus or on campus. Canada is a safe country for everyone and especially if you have come leaving your family and friends in the home country.

Canada is ranked 8th most peaceful country, and in terms of location, it is pretty isolated too. Canada is internationally reputed, and the population is protected from discrimination. The Canadian government encourages students to get permanent residence after their studies.

They have lots of programs like post-graduate work permit, which allows graduate students to work and get Canadian work experience. All these facilities and benefits are making Canada the best choice to study and live in.
