In 2021, there were over 6.39 million international students, up from 5.12 million in 2016. The most popular destinations were the United States (with 833,204 international students), the United Kingdom (600,589 students), and Australia (378,439 students) which together receive 28,37% of international students.

'''Now, from the last 5 years, the Canada is emerging as a top destination for international students to pursue their studies because of the Canada's high visa success rate. It can be illustrated from the fact that in 2023, the number of international students touched a significant figure close to 1 million, majorly holding a valid International Study Permits, which was a 29 % increase from the previous year.'''

Canada defines international students as "non-Canadian students who do not have 'permanent resident' status and have had to obtain the authorization of the Canadian government to enter Canada with the intention of pursuing an education." The study permit identifies the level of study and the length of time the individual may study in Canada. Unless it takes more than six months, international students do not need a study permit if they will finish the course within the period of stay authorized upon entry.

'''After completing their studies, their Study Visa expires and if the students want to go back to their home country, so they don't need to extend their visa to stay there. But if, they want to stay and utilize the knowledge and skills they gain while staying there, they can change their study permit to work permit. And then, they can work in their field job or they can pursue their carrier their.'''

'''While they are on their Work permit, the biggest challenge is to get "Permit Resident", because the work permit has limited timespan and within that timespan the International students have to apply for PR, and to get PR these days, it is very challenging. To get PR, you have to accumulate PR Points and several factors are to be considered like- age, level of education, official language proficiency, second official language and Canadian work experiences.'''

In 2019, India was hosting over 47,000 overseas students and aims to quadruple the number 200,000 students by 2023. India has most its international students and targets from South, Southeast, West Asia and Africa and is running various fee waiver and scholarship programs.

'''As of 2023, India welcomed around 40,431 international students for higher studies. And in 2022, the number of international students in India were around 31,910. The numbers are increasing every year because of the better scholarships and programs of studies provided by Indian Colleges and Universities. The number of international students coming to India is significantly very less as compared to students moving out of India to pursue their higher studies.'''

Accommodation is a major factor that determines study abroad experience.

'''If we talk about accommodation in Canada, finding accommodation in Canada in these years is very challenging because of the rising number of international students coming to only concentrated cities like Brampton, Surrey, Calgary, Vancouver and Calgary. And it is because the number of good Universities and Colleges are only located in these big cities. Therefore, mostly students are located nearby these cities. Hence, most students face these challenges when they first came to these big countries, so they face severe issues while looking for accommodation, and they also face exploitation from the tenants that's why rent they pay is significantly more. The average rent International students pay is almost around 500-850 dollars.'''
