    More international students are enroling in Canadian universities

    There are many reasons why international students love to study in Canada. And it seems that more and more students are coming to Canadian universities through the years. Therefore, the enrolment of international students in Canadian universities has more than doubled in the last decade, according to the site Universities Canada. In 2006, 83,000 enroled in Canadian universities. In 2016, that number jumped to 175,000. So it means an average growth rate of 7% per year over this period.

    And the trend is to keep growing, which is a great deal for Canada’s economy. Global Affairs Canada estimated that in 2014, international students in Canada spent $11.4 billion Canadian dollars in the country. That value includes tuition, accommodation and other living and leisure expenses. That represents an economic impact bigger than the exportation value of softwood lumber or wheat.

    About the Canadian universities

    According to the Graduating University Student Survey, released in 2015 by the Canadian University Survey Consortium, 70% of students (including born Canadians and international students) were satisfied or very satisfied with opportunities to learn beyond the classrooms. That includes undergraduate research, service-learning, and student exchanges. It is interesting to notice that 97% of Canadian universities offer international experiences.

    Also, one out of four students participates in a faculty research. And students that do research in the university are more likely to become better professionals. Because researching wake up students’ passion for discovery and make them develop problem-solving skills. That data comes from the National Survey of Student Engagement of 2016.

From March 2008 to March 2017, more than one million new jobs were created for university graduates. To be more precise, according to Statistics Canada, Labour Force Survey, 2008-2017, it was 1,574,200 new jobs. This is almost three times more than all other types of postsecondary education combined.

    In addition, the salary is also encouraging. Salaries rose more than 70% on average over the eight-year period after graduation for Social sciences and humanities graduates. The result was similar among engineering and science grads, says the Education Policy Research Initiative in 2016.

    Finally, 80% of employers see career benefits in hiring former students of Canadian universities. That means that employers value the “cross-cultural understanding and the knowledge of the global marketplace” that students acquire in Canadian universities, says the Leger Marketing employer survey for Universities Canada in 2014.
