Canadian population increasingly more educated because of immigration

According to Statistics Canada, 51 per cent of people who immigrated to Canada between 2001 and 2006 have university degrees.  This is largely due to the Canadian immigration selection system, which puts a lot of emphasis on post-secondary education.  In fact, immigrants are far more likely to have a university education than their Canadian-born counterparts, of whom only 20 per cent have university degrees.
