    MKS Lawyer Rudolf Kischer on Why International Students from India are Increasingly Choosing Canada as a Place to Study 

    On September 12, 2022, MKS’s experienced lawyer Rudolf Kischer was interviewed by CTV for the article, “Canada’s international student population climbs – in part due to strong interest from India.” 

    Canada has emerged as an increasingly attractive destination for international students seeking study permits, in part thanks to a shift in Canadian immigration processes. Rudolf Kischer explains “we moved from the system where we chose immigrants from overseas to a system that almost exclusively chooses immigrants in economic categories: people who are already studying or working in Canada”. This shift means that one way to obtain permanent residency is through studying in Canada, which is important to many international students who rightfully want to build a life in Canada while they study and after they graduate.

    Study permits are increasingly being issued to students from India 

    British Columbia has a large Indian community and continues to receive a lot of international students from India. Nearly half of the study permits issued in the first two months of 2022 were issued to students from India. British Columbia alone has tens of thousands of international students from India that have received study permits to attend colleges and universities in the province. Rudolf Kischer has taken note of the growing number of international students from India and shared his perspective. He explained that “things are changing in India. There’s a growing middle class. People have the funds to send their children abroad which is extremely expensive.” He also explained that “Canada is an attractive country for international students from India because both countries speak English and the job market is less competitive in Canada, which many students agree with.” There is no doubt that Canada’s international student population will continue to grow, presenting a unique opportunity for Canada to attract and retain highly skilled professionals through study permits.
