Understanding country-specific immigration and study trends is essential for making informed decisions. This article explores the journey of Nigerian international students in Canada over the last decade, using official Canadian government data.
Growing Nigerian Student Population: Despite a general decline in overall international student numbers in 2025—largely due to policy changes and the closure of certain private institutions—Nigerian students have bucked the trend.
Rising to the Top: Nigeria is now the third-largest source country for international students in Canada, trailing only India and China. This growth highlights Nigeria’s increasing role in shaping Canada’s international education landscape.
Study Permit: The Best Pathway: Data shows that obtaining a study permit remains the most reliable option for Nigerian students aiming to study and eventually settle in Canada.
