Higher education as a talent magnet

With 94% of international students reporting that they were either satisfied or very satisfied with their higher education experience in Canada, the next question would have to be, "to what end?" The end for international students is their increasing desire to stay in Canada after graduation. The proportion of international students who report wanting to stay has moved from 51% in 2015 to 60% in 2018.

Although hosting international students is not typically seen as a way to lure talented new citizens, Canada's experience demonstrates that a good experience as a student can result in the desire to immigrate. The benefit to Canada is that it retains striving international graduates as great contributors to its workforce.
