Country Brief - Canada 2017

Despite a large deficit and high levels of household debt, Canada’s economy looks poised to make a good recovery from the oil and commodities slump. The government is committed to a clean environment, investing in innovation and infrastructure, and supporting the middle class. The country has a high reputation for education and is an appealing destination for international students. With plans to increase the proportion of the population with a tertiary education, the higher education sector has an important role to play in producing suitably-equipped workers to meet the needs of Canada’s diversifying economy.
