Canada has become a favored destination for international students. By the end of 2022, Canada had hosted more than 800 thousands international students at all education levels. What’s particularly intriguing is the diversity of countries these students originate from. A substantial 31% increase in international student numbers from 2021 to 2022 alone has been observed. By the close of 2022, Canada had experienced a striking 43% growth over the past five years and an astonishing 170% increase over the last decade.

International students are looking toward the future while in Canada. An impressive 72.5% of them plan to apply for a post-graduate work permit, which allows them to gain valuable work experience. Additionally, 60% of these students aspire to make Canada their permanent home, highlighting the country’s attractiveness as a place not only for studying but also for building a promising future. With its welcoming environment, outstanding education system, and diverse opportunities, Canada’s appeal to international students has never been stronger.

Currently, Canada has 32 of its universities in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, with three of them in the top 50. This means that Canadian universities are one of the best in the world. Not only do Canadian Universities provide quality education but also flexibility and students are encouraged to take risks and explore their interests before choosing a major subject.

Canada is one of the few countries that allow students to take up part time jobs both off campus and on campus. While studying, the international students are not required to obtain a work permit if working on campus. There are umpteen job opportunities off campus, too, for the university students, such as child care, hotels, tutoring, general labor, restaurants, etc. Post completing your graduation, an international student can work in Canada for up to 3 years, making Canada one of the easiest countries to study and live in temporarily as a graduate, as it allows you plenty of time to build your CV.
