There are different reasons for that students that move to Canada from Asia are more likely to enter university and get their degrees. As I myself moved to Canada from one of the Asian countries, Iran, I exactly know what situation students from Asia are in when they move to Canada. Some of the reasons could be :1.In most of the Asian countries such as China, Japan and korea, Subjects taught in the schools, are very hard for the students to study and understand. Level of the subjects like Math, Physics and Chemistry is very high and not even comparable to the level of same subjects taught in Canada. Then, as a result, when parents bring their children here, to Canada, they expect their children to easily get highest marks, ace all the courses and accordingly go to university to get their degrees. This strict mindset of Asian parents puts heavy pressure on their children which could sometimes be annoying.
2. School environment in some of the countries in Asia is not very suitable for the students. For example:Teachers sometimes harshly treat the students and there is no friendly relationship between the teachers and students. Also, there are so many restrictions and limits for the students in the school environment. On the other side, With that in mind that Canada is a first-world country and the Canadian Education System is very practical, students that move here from Asian countries, find the environment much suitable and more friendly so their efficiency in school goes up, and they are expected (by their parents) to do well in the new environment. This could be another source of pressure which almost all the students experince when they move to Canada or USA from Asia.
