While some students who study abroad continue to live and work in the country where they receive their postsecondary education , most may return after graduation and bring back skills, knowledge and new perspectives (Choi & Hou, 2025) .1 Studying abroad not only shapes the educational and professional trajectories of individuals, but also has broader implications for talent retention, workforce development, and the economic competitiveness of both the sending and receiving countries.  \nFor Canadian students, studying in the United States offers access to a wide array of world-class universities and specialized academic programs, as well as exposure to a diverse and dynamic cultural environment. The United States attracts Canadian students with its reputation for academic excellence and its potential pathways to employment in high-demand fields and long-term residency. Conversely, some U.S. students are attracted to Canadian universities by factors such as internationally recognized degree programs, lower tuition costs, and the appeal of Canada’s multicultural society and postgraduation work opportunities. It is also generally considered easier to gain acceptance into universities in Canada than in the United States—Canada’s top universities have higher overall admission rates, and the application process is simpler (Times Higher Education, n.d.) .  \n1. For instance, among U.S. students in Canada who graduated from science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science degree programs from 2015 to 2019, about 29% filed income taxes in Canada three years after graduation. This suggests that 71% may have","cbCaimuVfO6Mg1qq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimuVfO6Mg1qq","pdf",553341,"English","# Standards of service to the public\n## Note of appreciation\n## Publication information\n# Global classrooms: Changing patterns in postsecondary student flows between Canada and the United States","[{\"question\":\"What role does cross-border education play in North America according to the report?\",\"answer\":\"It acts as a driver of innovation and a barometer of talent flows between countries, reflecting how skills and perspectives move across borders.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors attract Canadian students to the United States and U.S. students to Canada?\",\"answer\":\"Canadian students are drawn by world-class universities and academic programs plus cultural diversity, while U.S. students are attracted by internationally recognized degrees, lower tuition, and Canada’s multicultural society and postgraduation work opportunities.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report estimate return rates for Canadian students studying in the U.S.?\",\"answer\":\"It uses available evidence such as income tax filings and census records, then applies assumptions about enrollment cohorts to approximate return rates over time.\"}]","Global classrooms: Changing patterns in postsecondary student flows between Canada and the United States | PDF",1792060924,18]
