Academics
Academic and cultural ties are essential components of our relationship. In 2023, Canada issued over 11,000 study permits to Mexican students, representing an increase of over 80% in the last five years. On top of these students, over 14,000 additional Mexican students took part in short-term language courses which do not require a study permit. Academic collaboration and exchange is ongoing. There are over 300 MOUs between Canadian and Mexican higher education institutions, which mainly facilitate academic exchanges, as well as a number of MOUs between Canadian education associations and Mexican government bodies.
In 2023, Mexico was the largest source country for international students from Latin America and the Caribbean in Canada and the 8th largest source globally.
