Statistics Canada has released a new set of data that outlines the geographic mobility of Canadian bachelor’s degree graduates. In a discussion of the data, Sylvie Brunet, George Marshall, and Youssouf Azmi observe that the Atlantic provinces and the territories have the highest proportions of graduates who completed their bachelor’s degree in another province, while Ontario and Quebec have the lowest. Broadly speaking, graduates who travelled to pursue their education typically left their province of study within a year of their graduation. The authors conclude by explaining how mobility affects provincial workforces and investments into postsecondary education. They also identify further opportunities for research.
