The annual International Student Survey (ISS) revealed several competitive advantages for Canada in 2022

A newly released survey from the Canadian Bureau for International Education (CBIE) sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by International Students in Canada “from pre-arrival planning through study and post-graduate phases.” Overall, the study shows that Canada’s perceived safety is a major draw for International Students, that most students are satisfied with their experience of study in Canada, and that most would recommend the destination to other International Students.
