The forecasted percentage of international PhD students in Information and Communication Technologies in Canada shows a rising trend from 2024 to 2028, with the percentage incrementally moving from 56.93% to 58.79%. This reflects a steady yet moderate growth trajectory. Comparing the average change per year (CAGR) over these five years, the increase is modest, largely influenced by factors such as immigration policies and the global reputation of Canadian universities in technology research.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from geopolitical changes affecting international student mobility and shifts in technological sectors that could alter the attractiveness of certain PhD programs. Additionally, economic factors and investments in ICT research could further influence these trends. Regular monitoring of these forces will be essential for capturing the momentum of international PhD enrollments in ICT fields in Canada.
