According to Statistics Canada’s new report published on September 12, 2022, international students, especially those from India, increased the share of international students in college postgraduate credential programs tenfold from 1,800 to 17,700 between 2017-2019.
The report explains that immigration to Canada and obtaining permanent residency were likely the main reasons driving the boom in the number of foreign students enrolling in these programs.
Eighty percent of International students studying in Canada gained permanent residency within five years of graduation.

Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has been running its #ImmigrationMatters campaign since 2018 to raise awareness of how immigration benefits Canadian society as a whole.
The Government of Canada's immigration campaign, also known as #WelcomingWeek2022, aims to educate Canadians on the importance of immigration while also informing potential immigrants about all they could gain by immigrating.
The campaign consists of community events in addition to a website that posts immigration success stories to help Canadians understand how the immigration system works and ways they can get involved with local initiatives.

On September 8, 2022, Statistics Canada released the “Canada in 2041: A Larger, More Diverse Population with Greater Differences Between Regions” report, projecting that immigrants and their children will increasingly account for most of Canada's population by 2041.
With the expansion of the Canadian population through immigration, visible minorities—those who are now referred to as the "racialized population" by Statistics Canada–will become increasingly apparent.
Up to almost half of all toddlers 14 years old and younger, 49.7%, could be racialized Canadians in 2041, and approximately the same proportion (47.3%) of working-age people in Canada, those aged 15 to 64 years old.
