Question
I'm assisting a student who is looking for tuition rates for foreign/international undergraduate students in Canada, reaching back further in time than CANSIM table 477-0023 includes. I understand that this data comes from the TLAC survey. However, although the information page on Stats Can's website indicates that this survey has been collected since the 1970's, the FTP site only seems to have the most recent version of it. Where might I find international tuition rates for Canadian postsecondary institutions going back to the 1970's, or at least the 1990's?
Answer
If you go to the TLAC data, there are historical tables that go back to the early 1970's. The table is named rather cryptically on the DLI FTP site, but is Table 9E, as shown below, providing Tuition Fees for Foreign Students,1972-2013. However, the earliest date of data for the TLAC that the DLI has is in Tables 1-4 1993-1994.xls You can access it from the website as well as on the FTP site (available in a .zip file).

2 Questions - Foreign Students & Outward Remittance by Immigrants
Question
I have a student looking for the number of foreign students who come to Canada but not just for college and university studies but also high school, private education etc. In addition, he asks if there are any figures on financial assistance given to these students.
The second question relates to the data on outward remittance i.e. how much money do immigrants send to other countries and which countries by amount.
I would appreciate your help in answering these questions.
Answer
Statistics on college and university enrolments by immigration status (Canadian students/International students/Not reported) are available in the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) tables that were recently added to the DLI collection (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/dli-ild/data-donnees/ftp/psis-siep-eng.htm).
Our education contacts have confirmed that they do not collect any data for foreign students at the high school level or in private schools nor do they collect data on financial assistance for foreign students. As mentioned in an off-list message, you may also wish to look into the data on foreign students by level of study that would be available from CIC.
With respect to your second question on outward remittances, your user may be interested in the publications and sources cited in the following Daily release for the 2008 study "Remittances by recent immigrants" : http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/080723/dq080723b-eng.htm (see the sources listed at the bottom of the release). If the specific information the student requires isn't included in these sources, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I hope that this information is helpful.
