If you're an international student eyeing Canada for your studies, you're probably thinking about your career prospects post-graduation. A recent study by Statistics Canada shines a light on what you might want to consider: healthcare programs. According to the findings, international students who graduate from healthcare programs have a much better chance of landing jobs directly related to their studies compared to those in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) or business fields.

Here’s the scoop: healthcare graduates enjoy an impressive job alignment rate of 56.7%, which is significantly higher than the 43% rate for STEM grads and a mere 35.2% for business administration graduates. This means that when you study healthcare, you're more likely to work in a job that matches your education.

The study also pointed out that the level of education you achieve plays a crucial role. Graduates with a bachelor’s degree in healthcare reported the highest alignment rates, reinforcing the idea that higher education can yield better job prospects. Plus, if you attain your degree in Canada, you might find even more opportunities waiting for you.

So, if you’re considering your options for higher education in Canada, keep healthcare in mind. It could be your ticket to a successful career!
