Abstract

The fast-growing number of international students has generated strong public interest and concerns about their impacts on Canada’s educational institutions, labour market and affordable housing. Fully understanding such impacts requires better knowledge of the school enrolment and labour force participation of international students. Earlier Statistics Canada studies found that the number of international students enrolled in publicly funded postsecondary education institutions was about 20% to 30% smaller than the number of postsecondary study permit holders (SPHs) (Choi & Hou, 2023; Frenette, Lu & Chan, 2019). However, little information exists about these SPHs who did not enrol in publicly funded postsecondary programs. It is unclear whether they stayed in Canada and, if so, what their main activities were. This article attempts to explore this less known area.
