Immigrants with Canadian education earn more
A recent study showed that studying in Canada is not only interesting, but also very profitable.
Quite recently, a rather curious study appeared on the Internet, saying that immigrants who studied in Canada earn more than those just who moved to the country. Since the turn of the century, the percentage of economic immigrants has risen almost six times, from 6% in 2000 to 38% in 2019.
"This study is a validation of what our sector has been saying for some time,” said Randall Martin, executive director of the British Columbia Council for International Education.
Education in Canada is one of the easiest ways to come to the country. According to the report, more than 60,000 students successfully applied for immigration after graduation in 2019.
Studying gives the candidate additional points for immigration and also gives the candidate special skills adapted to the Canadian work environment. This makes it easier to integrate into the workplace and local environment.
Canadian companies are primarily focused on finding people who are familiar with the internal rules and requirements. Therefore, when an immigrant graduates from university in Canada, he or she not only acquires useful knowledge but also has many ways to grow.
"In many ways international students constitute ideal immigrants in that they are, for the most part, young and healthy, unencumbered by family, bright and multilingual, ambitious and mobile. And Canadian institutions trained and educated them,”" Martin added.
The report says that immigrants with Canadian education earn an average of 27% more than other newcomers in the long run. This is influenced by many factors. If we highlight the main ones, students after graduation are as good as natives in terms of language, already have work experience in Canada, and their professional skills are no longer controversial for the employer. This is because the employer trusts the education system of his country and is inclined to hire such a person.
