Canada has become one of the top destinations for the students who need a graduate or master’s degree in business studies, and more Indians have joined this group.
Where only 3% of Indian candidates preferred to study MBA in Canada in 2009, the share has risen to 8% in 2016. About 9% of the Indian candidates for non-MBA management courses are now look to Canada, up from 4% in 2009, according to information. Canada’s chief attraction is its being 30-to-40% cheaper than the US, even at the level of elite universities and colleges. Besides, US President Donald Trump‘s stance on immigration and concerns over racist incidents are taking the shine off the US campuses.
Niharika Mittal, who is pursuing her postgraduate degree at Toronto’s McMaster University, said: “A lot of Indian students are choosing Canada because they value the opportunity to be able to work for two-to-three years after completing their post-secondary education. Unlike the US and Britain, Canada sees international students as a valuable addition to its ageing workforce.”
