Immigrant stu­dents in Canada are more suc­cess­ful in school than stu­dents who are native-​​born.

A story in today’s Globe & Mail reports that new­com­ers to Canada “post stronger scores on stan­dard­ized math and sci­ence tests and are more likely to go on to post­sec­ondary edu­ca­tion. The same does not hold true for immi­grants to other coun­tries, includ­ing the United States and the United Kingdom.”

What do you think? Have you come to Canada for its edu­ca­tion sys­tem? How have your chil­dren adjusted?
