The survey estimates that there are 89,000 full-time international undergraduates studying in Canada and a further 44,000 in full-time graduate programs. It also asked about programs that send students abroad and found that nearly 97 per cent of universities offer study abroad opportunities for its students, however only about 10 to 12 per cent of students actually take advantage of these opportunities.
