Study in Canada | Trends in Indian student mobility 2024!

Study in Canada 

M.M Advisory Services, a prominent authority in international education, has released the ‘M.M Advisory Indian Students Mobility Report 2023,’ shedding light on the trends in global student migration. A comprehensive analysis of government data from major English-speaking destination countries reveals the meteoric rise of Study in Canada as the top choice for Indian students seeking international education. Experiencing an 86% increase in Indian student intake over the past five years, Canada has nearly doubled its numbers since 2018. 

Factors fueling Canada’s ascent

Maria Mathai, founder of M.M Advisory Services, highlights that approximately 70-80% of students come to study in Canada for diploma programs. This surge is attributed to a combination of favorable immigration policies and Canada’s attractiveness as an alternative destination. The report positions Canada’s year-on-year growth rate in 2022 at an impressive 46.8%, second only to the UK.

UK’s remarkable growth

While study in Canada emerges as the ultimate choice, stalwart destinations like the UK and the US maintain their allure. The UK witnesses a remarkable 49.6% growth in 2022, surpassing Australia significantly. This growth positions the UK as a strong contender in the international education landscape. In contrast, the US displays a noteworthy 18.9% increase, approaching its 2019 student volumes despite challenges related to visa backlogs and campus security issues.

Australia, once the second most popular destination globally, experiences a modest 0.7% growth in 2022. However, its slip to the fourth position over the past five years signals a noteworthy shift in international student preferences.

M.M Advisory analysis

M.M Advisory’s analysis draws on data released by international think tanks and government organizations tracking student mobility. This includes sources like the Open-Doors report for the USA, IRCC for Canada, and HESA for the UK. The report provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of international education, showcasing Canada’s ascendancy and the changing dynamics among traditional study destinations.
