In July 2021, IDP Connect conducted a survey with more than 6,000 students from 20 countries.
International students currently studying at 527 universities and colleges in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, to understand their interest and evaluation of different study destinations.
The survey results show that Canada is the most popular destination for international students.
Surveyed students stated that there are a few main reasons why they choose Canada as their first choice: high-quality education, employment opportunities after graduation, support for international students, and a diverse and inclusive environment.

Well this certainly is news that will make many people extremely happy.
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) will launch IELTS Online, a flexible and secure at-home language test, starting from early 2022.
Students will be able to take only IELTS Academic, the English-language test for higher education that has the same content as IELTS paper and computer versions covering listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
The speaking test will be via an online video call with a human examiner. For IELTS General, individuals still have to go to an authorized IELTS test centre.
