September 20, 2017 – The number of international students holding Canada study permits has more than doubled since 2009, the latest Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada figures show.
At the end of 2016, there were just over 414,200 study permit holders in Canada, up from just over 204,000 seven years ago.
