Canada is perhaps the most focused country in the world when it comes to the promotion of international education. With more than 100 universities, 200 colleges & renowned institutes, Canadian international education offers more than 10,000 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Drawing more than 200,000 international students annually, which is increasing every year, Canada's International Education Strategy previously announced its decision to double the number of full-time international students to 450,000 by 2022 that may be extended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Canadian Council of Education Ministers plans to attract more international students through a number of strategies like enhanced employment & immigration programs. Being the second-largest country in the world area-wise, with a very low density of population (just over 35 million people), Canada expects a large number of International students as well as quality professionals to come and contribute to its all-around growth. Canada's vast size, picturesque locations with an amazing winter season, buzzling city life, calm & quiet country life, high standard of living, and sincere friendliness of government and public society towards international students make it one of the most preferred destinations for international education. Canada's facilities, social & cultural diversity, repute as an international education destination etc are highly comparable with that of the US. For reasons like lower cost of education & living, easier Visa rules etc when compared to the US, Canada certainly receives more international students than the US.
