ICEF Monitor – Canada books another strong year of international enrolment growth

25 Nov 2015

The Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) released its annual report on the state of international education in Canada this week. The headline for this year is that the number of international students in Canada continues to increase. Based on Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) data, CBIE reports 336,497 international students in Canada for 2014, representing an 83% increase since 2008 and a 10% year-over-year increase to build on 2013’s record enrolment.

As in previous years, the CBIE report provides important insights on students’ intentions following their current programme of study. Of particular note this year:

  • 40% intend to go on to further studies in Canada (24% at another institution; 16% at their current institution)
  • 51% intend to seek permanent resident status in Canada following their studies
