A record number of Indian students were admitted to Canadian colleges and universities in 2017, with 100,000 students now coming from India for higher education. 

tallies the numbers using data for study-permit holders from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and suggests U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration restrictions may be part of the reason for the surge.

鈥淚 think there鈥檚 real intent on the part of this government to reach out globally and to continue to make Canada a welcoming nation, including at a time when not every other nation in the world is sending that signal,鈥 老司机直播's vice-president international Professor Ted Sargent told the newspaper. 鈥淎t 老司机直播, we are in this special situation: We鈥檙e in Canada鈥檚 largest city. It鈥檚 incredibly multicultural, and it鈥檚 an incredibly inviting city, and we鈥檙e right at the heart of it.

鈥淲hen other nations are going the other way, it鈥檚 even further to our advantage.鈥

Sargent was in India as part of a 鈥渦niversity-wide approach鈥 to recruiting. University officials go to India in the fall to raise interest among prospective students and then return in March to follow up with them. It's a strategy that Sargent said was 鈥渃ertainly new for us and represents an increased emphasis on India engagement.鈥
