1. Those who, for the specific purpose of pursuing their education, go to a country other than their country of residence or the country in which they were previously educated. These students may be defined on the basis of either the country of which they were permanent residents or the country in which they were previously educated (regardless of their nationality). In Canada, international students are defined on the basis of their country of residence; the concept includes students who are not Canadian citizens and who do not hold a permanent residency permit in Canada.
2. The University of Regina, in Saskatchewan, has not reported its enrolments to PSIS since 2005/2006. The international enrolment for Saskatchewan was calculated using the 2004 enrolments from the University of Regina.
3. Excludes private institutions.
4. Includes international students for whom the region and country of origin was not reported.
