Methodology
How this report was prepared
This report uses published Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada study permit-holder data by country of citizenship and the year in which study permits became effective.

Important note
Published totals may exclude suppressed values. Suppressed records are reported separately where present and are not included in published study permit-holder totals.
