Doesn't Canada only allow skilled immigrants to enter the country? I suspect that is a significant factor.

Canada's immigration system works with points and education is worth a lot.

While statcan doesn't provide information on tuition, the immigration data shows that 66 000 or the 104 000 male immigrants were in the "economic" category in 2015.
