According to recently released census data, Canada has more working-age college or university graduates than any other G7 nation, due to more individuals pursuing degrees and the constant stream of highly educated immigrants.
The greatest percentage in the G7; Canada residents in the working age (25 to 64) who hold a degree from a university or college is about 57.5%.
According to census data from 2021, this ranking is in part attributable to the one in four working-age Canadians who possess a college diploma or certificate.
Canada ranks fourth in the G7 in terms of the proportion of working-age citizens having a university degree, at 32.9%, behind the United Kingdom (41.3%), the United States (39.5%), and Japan (34.2%).
While the populace is generally well-educated, the census claims that failing to acknowledge the credentials of employees trained overseas is “leaving potential on the table.”
