Scarborough  \nABSTRACT  \nThis study seeks to identify factors influencing East Asian international students’ choices of Canadian graduate schools, to assess the strengthsand dynamics of the factors influencing enrolment decisions, and to describe possible implications both for the Canadian government and for Canadian universities offering graduate education. The research sample comprised 140 students from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan who enrolled in graduate programs at two large Ontario universities. The research findings reveal the significant influence of academic, economic, environmental, and visa/immigration pulling factors as well as a set of negative pushing factors from third countries such as the United States. Activities related to internationalization of graduate education play a critical role in influencing the choice of a Canadian graduate school. The findings suggest that to attract the“best and brightest” international graduate students, policy makers and institutional administrators should focus on investing in research and ensuring the quality of graduate education while devoting efforts and resources to the internationalization of Canadian graduate education.  \nRÉSUMÉ  \nCet article porte sur la décision, par les étudiants internationaux del’Asie orientale, d’étudier aux cycles supérieurs dans une université canadienne. L’étude cherche à identifier les facteurs influençant cechoix, à évaluer les forces et la dynamique des facteurs influençant la décision d’inscription, et à décrire des implications possibles pour le gouvernement canadien et pour les universités canadiennes.  \n78 CJHE/RCES Volume 36, No. 2, 2006  \nL’échantillon est composé de 140 étudiants originaires de Chine, de Hong Kong, du Japon, de Corée et de Taiwan qui s’étaient inscrits dans des programmes de cycle supérieur à deux grandes universités ontariennes. Les résultats de la recherche révèlent l’influence significative des facteurs académiques, économiques, environnementaux, et associés aux règles de l’immigration, ainsi qu’un ensemble de facteurs négatifsassociés à des pays tiers tels que les États-Unis. Les activités faisant la promotion de l’internationalisation des cycles supérieurs jouentun rôle critique et influencent le choix d’une université canadienne à cet ordre d’enseignement. Les résultats suggèrent que, pour attirer les meilleurs étudiants internationaux aux cycles supérieurs, les décideurs gouvernementaux et les administrateurs institutionnels devraient investir dans la recherche et assurer la qualité de la formation aux cycles supérieurs, tout en consacrant efforts et ressources à l’internationalisation des programmes de cycles supérieurs au Canada.  \nInternational graduate students, belonging to the so-called “creative class”(Florida, 2002), are a very special group of people who travel from afar to pursue advanced education both for the love of knowledge and for personal and professional advancement. They play an important role in Canadian graduate education by bringing academic, cultural, and economic benefits to the learning environment and society; subsequently, they are ambassadors of Canadian education to the world. Despite their importance, existing research on international graduate students, especially in the Canadian context, is minimal. This is the first research focusing on this group of international students and their choices of Canadian graduate schools.  \nCanada’s future sustainability and growth will depend on new immigrants who are educated skilled workers. The international student population has been viewed by many as a pool of preferred potential immigrants.
