• IDG awarded 2017: Despite Canada's policies for encouraging immigration of the highly educated, and despite international students being described as 'designed to stay', we know little about how or when or whether international students decide to stay in Canada. We know little about challenges they will face. We also do not fully understand the types of support that can help international students successfully navigate the immigration process to become permanent residents. This study uses mixed qualitative and quantitative methods to examine international students studying at Canadian universities, and the paths taken as they decide to become permanent residents (or not).
