"Official figures obtained by the Globe and Mail show that the number of international students in Canada has officially exceeded one million.
The data stated only a third (343,470) of international students were studying at institutions accredited by Universities Canada; with the vast majority studying at private colleges/institutions with varying standards.
An analysis by Statistics Canada in November also found that nearly 200,000 of the international students with study permits did not even have a record of studying at a college or university in Canada."
