Regarding the arrival method, Australian statistics recorded an increase by 4%, making it to 30%, whereas the popularity of this method in Canada dropped from 45% to only 26%. Besides, the USA remained stable at 24%. Turning to pre-booked with agents, Canada documented a climb from 22% to 35%, marking the most prominent method chosen by students in this country, whilst that figure for Australia decreased from over a quarter to around 10% during the 2-year period. Ultimately, that percentage of USA was 28%, after being at 28% initially.
Concerning the remaining cohorts, the use of the internet in booking courses in Australia rose substantially from 24% to 39%; however, the other nations saw minimal falls by 1% to 2% and stayed at 25%. As for other methods, the percentage of both Australia and the USA dropped by 3%, starting from 23% and 26%, respectively, whilst that of Canada ascended by three times higher than the previous number, which was only 6%.
