Canada education market profile

Canada’s underlying fundamentals remain strong because of years of growth, low inflation and budgetary discipline.

Education links are strong, with more than 180 formal agreements between Australian and Canadian universities and more than 2000 Australian and Canadian students enrolled in universities in each country.
