“…Canada is also seen as an option to immigrate permanently due to its immigration policy regarding permanent residence for IS after graduation (Chen, 2017). Several authors point out the advantage that Canada has within the international community as being perceived as a multicultural, tolerant, and safe country (Chen 2007;Cudmore, 2005;Parra-Sandoval, 2014;Zhukovskyi & Simak, 2015). Finally, the financial support that these IS sometimes receive through scholarships from Canada is also a pull factor (Parra-Sandoval, 2014).…”

Canada has positioned itself as a destination for thousands of international students from all over the world. Arguably, by offering a relatively affordable education, and an inclusive society. Over the past two decades, the number of international students to Canada has not just increased, but also become more diverse by places of birth, age, marital status, education, and prior occupation. Even though many international students come to Canada when they are single young adults, some arrive with their families leaving behind professional careers back home. Using a qualitative approach, this research explores the motivations that prompt Mexican professionals to come to Canada as international students with their families. The research findings demonstrate that high levels of insecurity in Mexico was the number one push factor that motivated participants to make the decision to immigrate. Furthermore, for many this represents a significant financial investment that can require sacrifices both before and after immigrating. Key words: Mexico; international students; insecurity; immigration; professionals

Although there are several studies examining the benefits of the Erasmus student mobility programme on student’s professional career and academic development, there is scarce literature focusing on how they are similar to tourists and can promote tourism in the country where they did Erasmus. This study interviewed 16 students from 10 different nationalities that have done Erasmus in Portugal, in order to examine their travelling behaviours and how they may contribute in promoting Portugal. The findings reveal that Erasmus students are similar to tourists, contributing to Portugal’s Tourism not only by their travelling behaviour, but also by the visitors they receive and because of the posts of Portugal on social media. Furthermore, after their Erasmus experience, they become advocates, recommending Portugal to family and friends.
