The data presents the amount of international students who enrolled in three distinct universities in Canada from 2000 to 2020.
Overall, the number of foreign students soared at University A and University C, while figures for University B remained relatively stable throughout the period.
At the beginning of the period, approximately 20,000 international students were enrolled at University A. This figure steadily increased over the next two decades, reaching around 50,000 by 2020, making it one of the most popular choices among overseas students.In contrast, University B started with a higher number of foreign students—about 30,000 in 2000—but the enrollment remained largely unchanged throughout the period, with only a slight rise to 32,000 by the end of the timeframe.University C began the period with the lowest number of international students, at just 10,000 in 2000. However, this figure rose consistently over the years, with a particularly sharp increase occurring after 2010. By 2020, the number had climbed to approximately 45,000, nearly matching the figures for University A. This significant surge indicates that University C became increasingly attractive to students from abroad during the latter half of the timeframe.
