28 Aug 2019

Canadian federal government has published plans to spend $148 million across five years to bring global students to study in Canada from a larger variety of nations. Of the total 572,415 Canada Study Permit holders at the close of 2018, 55% or 315,610 came from China and India.

Now the Canadian government will look to bring more from other nations, by spending approximately $30 million per year on the latest recruitment effort. The Canada government will also look to hire based on the application of obtaining a Canadian education, and the possibility of staying here following graduation.

Nations accessible to the marketing effort cover Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Morocco, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and France.

The government of Canada also intends to support schools outside Canadian principal cities. Much like current immigrants to Canada, holders of Study Permit are drawn to famous colleges and universities in bigger cities such as Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.

Government of Canada funding will also be allotted to supporting Canadians to study overseas, outside popular nations like the US, the UK, and Australia. Officials need to witness that Canadians spending time studying in Latin America and Asia in specific.
