Statistics Canada has released a new report describing the changes in postsecondary student flows between Canada and the United States over time. Data for US students in Canada was obtained from Statistics Canada’s Non-permanent Resident File and the Postsecondary Student Information System, while data from Canadian students studying in the US was obtained from the Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange. The authors show how Canada has sent more students to the US than it has received each year. They also said that subject areas differed between the groups: US students in Canada were concentrated in humanities and social sciences, while Canadian students in the US were concentrated in business management and health.
