International students from India are choosing to study in Canada over the United States due to Ottawa’s open immigration policies and the openness of Canadians to people from a diversity of cultures.
“Canada is a top destination for high-quality, globally recognized education in an open, tolerant, safe and multicultural environment,” Canada’s deputy high commissioner to India, Amanda Strohan, reportedly told The Times of India earlier this month.
“Our colleges are leaders in applied higher education, offering a variety of recognized credentials including university transfer programs, academic and applied degrees, and post-graduate diplomas,” she said.
India is the top source of international students to Canada.
