Number of Vietnam students in Canada rises fastThe number of Vietnamese students in Canada climbed to nearly 15,000 in 2017, a three-fold rise against 2015, putting Vietnam among the fastest-growing markets for international education in the North American country. The report said Vietnam has been on the list of the top five sending countries, accounting for 3% of Canada’s foreign students and ranking fifth after China (28%), India (25%), South Korea (5%), France (4%), and the same as the group from the United States. Karen McBride, President and CEO of the education bureau, said in a statement that Canada has gained fame for not only the undeniably prestigious quality of education but also the world-acclaimed reputation as the safe and non-discriminatory place. Around 95% of international students recommended Canada as the top study destination on earth while 51% expressed their wishes to apply for permanent residence in Canada, she says. Data from the Government indicates that there were around 130,000 Vietnamese studying abroad at all levels in 2017, and their top five destinations include Japan, the U.S., Australia, China and the U.K.SGT
