Canada-bound pupils getting younger
Print Edition
THE average age of Chinese students studying in Canada is dropping sharply as more and more middle school and elementary school students are enrolling in Canadian schools.
According to the latest monthly report published by Canadian immigration lawyer Richard Kurland, kindergarten-to-Grade 12 students made up 37 percent of all study permits and visas issued by the Canadian embassy in China last year, up from 18 percent just six years ago.
In the province of British Columbia alone, 4,306 Chinese students were enrolled in K-12 in 2014, compared to only 1,094 in 2009.
Kurland said Chinese families wish to get their children residency by sending them to Canada at an earlier age.
The enormous market means many BC schools actively court Chinese K-12 students.
