The chart illustrates the percentage of international graduates from various Canadian universities between 2001 and 2006.
In 2001, the universities with the highest proportions of international graduates were New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec, each recording rates of around 6% or slightly higher. By contrast, the remaining universities had lower figures, ranging between 2% and 5%.
By 2006, the proportion of international graduates had risen in almost all universties. Ontario, for example, showed the growth from around 3%, while most other institutions also experienced a noticeable increase in the share of graduating international students. The only exception was Alberta, where the percentage declined from roughly 6% in 2001 to about 4% in 2006.
Overall, the data suggests that the most Canadian universities saw substantial growth in the proportion of international graduates over the five-year period, with increases of about 3-4%. However, Alberta was the only university to record a decrease, falling by around 2 percent.
