According to the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE), in 2021 there were over 642,000 international students studying in Canada. The top countries of origin for these students were China, India, and the United States, with over 170,000, 110,000, and 25,000 students, respectively. Other top countries of origin included France, South Korea, and Brazil, with over 20,000 students each.
Canada is a popular destination for international students due to its high-quality education system, diverse cultural offerings, and welcoming atmosphere. The country is home to many top-ranked universities and colleges, and offers a wide range of programs and courses in a variety of fields. International students in Canada also have the opportunity to work part-time while studying and can gain valuable work experience through co-op and internships programs.
Canada is a very reasonable in education costs compared to its neighbor USA or for the European counterparts like UK, Germany or even the Oceania countries like Australian or New Zealand. The entire tuition and living costs can be accommodated within 25000-33000 Canadian Dollars if you are an international student which is way below the global average. This may vary with the course opted and the location of stay within a particular province. However, accurate YTD data and tuition expenses may be available on the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) website.
