The latest data reveals that the number of Indian students studying in Canada have doubled in 2011 compared to last year.
The first Canada-India Education Summit this week in Ottawa is set to boost research and educational ties between the two countries.
With Canada reportedly registering more than a two-fold increase in Indian students this year from about 4000 last year, the two-day summit at Carleton University from June 17 will further boost enrolments from India.
Top educationists and researchers from India and Canada will participate in roundtable discussions at the summit to be opened by Purundeshwari, Indian minister of state for human resources development.
She said, "Definitely, the number of Indian students coming to Canada will increase as a result of the education summit. We are getting representation from about 15 universities from India.``
The education summit is part of the on-going `Year of India in Canada` celebrations.
