US still top draw, but growth rate of Indian students halves: Survey
Though the US is still a much-favoured destination for Indian students, the percentage of increase in fresh enrolments by Indians halved in 2016-2017 to 12.3% from almost 25% the previous year, according to the latest Open Doors survey conducted by the Institute of International Education. The year 2014-15 too had seen robust growth of 29.4%.
In global terms, the US saw a decline in fresh enrolments this year, with nearly 10,000 fewer candidates signing up; the new student count of about 2.9 lakh represents a 3% decrease from the previous year.
For the third year in a row, the largest growth came from India, primarily at the graduate level and in optional practical training (OPT), which is temporary employment linked to a student’s area of study (eligible students can receive up to 12 months of OPT before and/or after completing studies). The Indian student population in the US is now 1.86 lakh. Read more….

Why Study an MBA in Canada?
Why Study an MBA in Canada?
The Canadian MBA Alliance is a partnership between Canada’s six most prestigious and top-ranked MBA programs. We all come from distinctly different parts of the country and are unique in our own way, but we all share one common theme: first rate education in a country with limitless potential for aspiring business leaders. We seek to increase awareness worldwide that a MBA education in Canada is amongst the world’s best, as we recruit only the best prospects, domestically and abroad.
00:02
the key factors for me for choosing the
00:05
MBA in Canada is the international
00:07
diversity that I’ve found here a lot of
00:10
people from all over the world come here
00:12
to do their MBAs I don’t think there’s
00:14
any other country that is so welcoming
00:16
to international students I feel able to
00:18
being part of a international team I
00:21
think that that only happens in Canada
00:24
the MBA program offers extremely
00:27
extremely top education that the rigour
00:30
of the content that we went through as
00:32
well as you know the way in which our
00:34
professors teach in challenges I think
00:36
is definitely equal to the top business
00:38
schools out there we have strong
00:39
lectures professors that come from a
00:41
variety of industries where they were
00:43
leaders and they have the insights to
00:45
how business is conducted globally but
00:47
you content has been done with a lot of
00:48
care because you can tell that you know
00:50
also subjects who are being taught
00:52
really complement themselves and there
00:55
are going to you know help us making
00:57
decision in the business setting things
00:58
like getting an interview with Mackenzie
01:00
or BCG the top firms in the world are
01:03
looking at the business school those
01:05
kind of opportunities are not usually
01:06
available elsewhere I have the
01:08
opportunity to reach out and have
01:11
exposure to top management big global
01:14
companies who are looking for
01:16
international talent
01:18
not just to gain a competitive advantage
01:20
locally but also to expand their
01:23
businesses internationally they really
01:25
try to push us to realize our potential
01:27
in the sense that it’s not just a job
01:30
that we could get what job we could get
01:32
it’s a job we want to get it’s a
01:34
fascinating point of view to have to
01:36
pursue your dream job and not just a job

hi so my name is EJ Peterman well I’m
00:03
from Madeira India that’s the southern
00:06
part of India in the state of Tamil Nadu
00:07
I did my high school in Khartoum Sudan
00:11
which is somewhere in Eastern Africa
00:12
right below Egypt and this is my is
00:15
going to be my fourth year of study at
00:17
the U of A in honors astrophysics I
00:19
applied for universities all around
00:21
Canada and U of A gave me a lot of
00:24
scholarships which was great so for me
00:26
it was personally you know it was a good
00:29
credit for my academic efforts in high
00:32
school and I was also well known that U
00:35
of A has a good tech Institute is it’s
00:37
one of the best so I was certainly
00:39
willing to come over here and see what
00:40
they had so so this is pretty much where
00:44
I work faculty Department of Physics is
00:47
actually on this side and this is pretty
00:50
much my environment I have the planets
00:52
so astrophysics right there and we have
00:54
the Observatory on the fifth floor where
00:56
we usually a visit whenever we have
00:58
solar observing during a noon time and
01:02
yes so it’s my work environment I have
01:05
my professors close by everything else
01:07
is here so it’s perfect I think in terms
01:09
of doing research I think it gives you a
01:11
great opportunity to of course get a
01:14
foothold on what you want for me in
01:16
particular as an international student
01:19
of course you know if I’m moving to
01:20
another university or continuing here at
01:22
the U of A you have to be sure about
01:24
what you want to do and you have to have
01:25
that passion for that so doing research
01:28
it’s a it’s a great way to test your
01:30
abilities it’s also a great place to
01:33
know okay am I fit for this or not or I
01:36
might fit for something else I had to
01:37
apply for the undergrad research
01:38
initiative as well as the international
01:42
student work-study program and once I
01:45
applied for that I got the funds
01:46
successful and
01:48
Here I am doing research so my research
01:51
in particular it’s mainly data
01:53
aggregation what in essence if I were to
01:55
put in layman terms it would be taking
01:58
data from international telescopes on
02:00
online archives and then setting up a
02:02
database for students here and
02:04
professors who can use it and yeah
02:07
that’s pretty much my research it’s
02:09
sitting in front of the computer getting
02:11
that data programming it in and making
02:12
sure it’s updated daily and setting up a
02:14
database for that so I live on campus
02:17
here and I love that register residence
02:20
and I’ve been living there for two years
02:23
now you know it’s been a great
02:25
experience the wonderful community of
02:26
students and I think it was a it was a
02:29
it was great for me particularly because
02:31
coming in first year you know I was away
02:33
from my family so it was a little bit
02:34
tough but then you know I found new
02:36
family of friends and it was a very
02:39
welcoming experience for me at the Yoga
02:42
inka personally I had expected when I
02:44
came here and you know you would expect
02:46
the majority of the population to be
02:47
Canadian citizens or students from here
02:50
and there there are a lot of people from
02:52
Kim Canada in the school but at the same
02:55
time I found like a huge international
02:56
community yes people from so many places
02:58
so I think you have a lot to relate to
03:02
especially as an international student
03:03
you have so many peers to relate to and
03:05
get help from so for me it was it was
03:08
great because first of all you have the
03:10
International Centre where I got my
03:13
advice and I got all the support I
03:14
needed when I first moved in and then
03:16
you have all your friends who also you
03:19
know who are also international students
03:20
as well as citizens and have a mix of
03:22
that so you get both perspectives you
03:24
know they help you out so it was great
03:25
for me in that way so I I i like
03:29
edmonton in one ways because it has all
03:32
the four seasons and i’ve never really
03:34
been in a country where it’s actually
03:36
been like that for me coming over here
03:38
my first winter was was enjoyable enough
03:41
that you know it was it was just great
03:43
have a wonderful campus you have a lot
03:46
of facilities which allow you to get
03:48
your work done at the same time so i
03:50
think that was one of the best things
03:52
being here your day
03:56
you

00:07
this is too good just the name you know
00:09
emerging leaders of the Americas when
00:11
when my friends send me the link to this
00:14
collar shape I thought but I’m not an
00:15
emerging future I mean I might be kind
00:17
of good at what I do but emerging leader
00:20
that’s a lot being that an emergent
00:27
leader it means there’s some potential
00:29
in some capacity of doing things that
00:32
have never been done before
00:34
we always think I am doing this for my
00:38
patients I’m doing this for my
00:40
university for my students and when you
00:43
think that you can be an emerging leader
00:45
you think yeah I can do this for my
00:48
country I applied to a lab with hope
00:51
hope to be here and suddenly that hope
00:53
became real it’s amazing to be here
00:55
[Music]
00:58

01:00
emerging leaders of the Americas program
01:02
such an amazing initiative of the

Government of Canada to open a great
01:08
opportunity for us the ELab is really
01:11
it’s a great opportunity or all Latin
01:14
American and Canadian this program offer
01:17
us all the facilities to stay here to do
01:21
our research is the top level and the
01:25
people there actually want to help me to
01:29
learn they’re not just focusing on
01:32
getting people so immense they’re
01:35
focusing on not having immigrants
01:37
isolated but to make them feel like they
01:40
really have a community it’s a great
01:42
experience for personal growth for
01:45
academic growth for professional growth
01:47
in general I would say go for it
01:55
some people in the ALAB program get the
01:58
chance to go to Ottawa for a week and
02:00
it’s I would say like that will be as we
02:02
say in Argentina
02:03
laughs traditional pottery like creme de
02:06
la creme I have been in the parliament
02:08
I saw them discussing topics I saw them
02:11
face to face if I’m Canadian with right
02:14
to vote I could choose my next Minister
02:18
there I could say no I don’t support guy
02:20

02:23
want to follow that’s the idea which
02:25
gonna make my country better
02:27
[Applause]
02:33
it’s very inspiring getting to know the
02:36
social policies the models for
02:40
immigration for reconciliation with
02:43
Aboriginal communities I had the chance
02:46
to meet amazing people and meeting some
02:50
aspects of Canadian culture that has
02:53
been an amazing experience
02:55
[Applause]
02:57
[Music]
03:04
this study tour moved me to see the
03:08
possibility of maybe I can become a
03:12
leader
03:16
I am very grateful of what this
03:20
country’s doing for my PhD project I
03:22
mean there are few loves this
03:26
specialized I would say so it’s future
03:29
working with since I arrived in here I
03:31
have no tag I’m one more inside the muta
03:35
Couture environment which kind of
03:37
provide you don’t feel like an England

03:41
the first day you come to school you’re

03:44
very different from my other exchanges

where was the Brazilian guy was the
03:49
different guy in here and part of
03:50
society and that makes me feel very
03:52
comfortable how Canadians really welcome
03:55
people from all over the world here here
03:58
in Canada you have a very strong network
04:02
with a different perspective and now I
04:06
have a kind of idea what means to be in
04:09
Canada the right a little bit way of
04:12
thinking it it’s really a huge
04:15
opportunity for us
04:17

00:51
graduated with a Bachelors of Commerce
00:53
to account – eternal so why I decided to
00:58
come together is a really great question
01:00
because a lot of my friends are oh
01:02
you’re going to Canada is adversity but
01:04
the quality of education the professor’s
01:06
they come from the most prestigious
01:07
universities to meet a quality education
01:10
in the senator is recognized it offers

any university especially in terms of

quality was on par with

Korean American house for me to say
01:31
Canada about you here in the community
01:34
and reshuffle in one year after I
01:37
submitted my application it was three

winter activities here what’s the
01:58
Steelers gaining there’s that’s
02:01
cross-country skiing downhill ski that
02:02
there’s outdoor activities everywhere as
02:05
long as the both sides know how to take
02:06
advantage of it I came here like three
02:08
years ago
02:09
two times what’s your position I wasted
02:17
agreement although physically in Panama
02:19
assuming my long with an altitude that
02:22
um I came here for when those routines
02:25
have to study English and I like it
02:27
decided
02:30
how interesting is being in college here
02:33
that so much hands-on experience if you
02:36
learn what you really have to do when
02:38
you go into the field the lab practice
02:40
just gives us more confidence I’m
02:43
starting to go to a little modulus and
02:46
Punishment are my future planning tools
02:49
in my original one of human condition
02:52
okay ideally I want to be from my
02:58
culture of you after graduating with my
03:00
bachelor’s degree I decided to become
03:01
kitchen
03:02
I met people from Haiti from East Asia
03:05
Southeast Asia East Asia from the Middle
03:07
East from Africa Europe I’ve met people
03:10
from all over the world at least was the
03:12
metaphor that’s used here is the mosaic
03:13
everyone comes from the same different
03:15
walks of life from the same different
03:17
corners of the world and that’s what
03:19
beautiful but there’s no homogenized
03:22
Canadian identities that we’re all a
03:24
part of the site business in New Zealand
03:27
nobody washes with the borough economy
03:30
management is onionskin schematics I see
03:34
mom and England really rugged they want
03:39

03:44
confident and you really learn something

03:56
Canada Union and that I never realized
04:00
my choice fun and it’s a very different
04:03
experience that I think everybody should
04:05
get in life once you take home more than
04:08
just a degree to take home an experience
04:11
of a lifetime
04:13
imagine that really wasn’t much of a
04:16
choice

undergrad at student life still is a

very important factor of why I choose to

to the University of Alberta from the

01:54
make a difference the professors are
01:57
understanding and knowledgeable and my
01:59
classes are interesting and relevant to
02:01
my academic interests there are many
02:03
scholarship opportunities available I
02:05
received five scholarships
02:10
the campus is so beautiful and there’s
02:12
so many great places to study but since
02:14
I have my own room in residence I’d have
02:16
to say that that’s my favorite place to
02:18
study when I first came here I felt
02:22
extremely supportive it was easy to make
02:24
friends and I never felt alone the
