Dataset information

Methodology
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.
Historical totals, rankings, shares, annual changes, suppression counts, and analytical findings are derived from the same normalized records used by the interactive Study Permit Explorer.
Published totals may exclude suppressed values. Suppressed records are reported separately where present and are not included in published study permit-holder totals.
