Canada is positioning itself as a global leader in education, research and innovation. In 2016 there were 1.7 million students studying at Canadian universities, and between March 2008 and March 2017, around 1.6 million new jobs were created for university graduates, according to Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey. The National Survey Student Engagement offers that 11% of Canadian undergraduates participate in a study abroad program, which can lead to a greater potential for cross-cultural understanding and job stability. In addition, $13 billion has been earmarked by Canadian universities to be put toward research and development.
