Even as hundreds of Indian students get ready to start courses at universities around the world during the autumn term of 2021, several major English language campus destinations including Australia, New Zealand and Singapore remain closed due to travel restrictions and closed borders.
However, Canada remains a popular campus destination for Indians even amidst the post Covid-19 uncertainty. In fact, according to official statistics from the Canadian High Commission in Delhi, for the first four months of 2021, nearly 100,000 study permits were issued to international students, up from about 66,000 in the first four months of 2020 and from about 96,000 in the first four months of 2019.
