Hire Skills - Background

At Hire Skills our mission is to support international students in their journey in Canada by creating a powerful
one of a kind ecosystem that brings the student, the institutions and the business together.

In 2021, 621,565 international students (IS) were enrolled at various levels of study in Canada.

72.5% international students (IS) plan to apply for a post graduate work permit.

About 3 in 10 international students who entered Canada in 2000 or later became a landed immigrant within 10 years.

One in two international student graduates remained in their province of study one year after graduation.

The share of international students reporting earnings during their period of study has increased.


For international students who become permanent residents, Canadian credentials take some time to translate into stronger economic outcomes.

While all sectors experienced gains in the share of their workforce composed of international students, the gains were particularly large in accommodation and food services; business, building and other support services; wholesale and retail trade; and professional, scientific and technical services.

When international students decide to stay and work in Canada after graduation, one of the main avenues to do so is through the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Program, a temporary worker program that provides labour market opportunities for international student graduates.

The share of international students with paid employment income among total paid workers grew from 0.1% in 2000 to 1.4% in 2018, corresponding to a 10-fold increase from 21,800 to 277,400 in the number of international student paid workers.
