The provided bar chart illustrates the changing proportion of International graduates from universities in Canada from 2001 to 2006.
A more detailed look at the graph reveals that in 2001, there was a moderate distribution of foreign university graduates in Canada. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec regions had the most graduates accounting for approximately 7%, 6.5% and 6.2 %. Meanwhile, both Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador maintained the same ratios, roughly 4% each. In addition, Quebec had its percentage about 6% which doubled than Ontario’s which was just 3%.
In 2006, several Canadian regions experienced significant changes in their international graduate distribution. New Brunswick maintained its highest position with a substantial increase to slightly below 12%. Followed by the British Colombia region, which soared more than double the previous year with a percentage of 10.3%, surpassing Nova Scotia and Quebec regions. Moreover, Manitoba and Newfoundland & Labrador regions had a similar increase to around 6.5%, and Ontario also experienced growth to 6%. Unfortunately, Alberta is the only region that faced a steep decline to around 4.2% in comparison to the years prior.
Clearly, there were significant differences in the overall trends between 2001 and 2006 of the percentage of International graduates in the universities in Canadian regions. Nevertheless, most of them experienced a substantial rise surpassing its previous.
