Trump's biggest fans? Canadian universities

Canadian universities are seeing a surge in applications 
from overseas students, with the country's liberal, migrant-friendly image appearing to be an important attraction.

Students who might once have headed for the United States now seem to be reconsidering and seeing Canada as a North
American alternative.

The University of Toronto, one of Canada's top-ranked
universities, has seen interest rising sharply, including a 57%
increase in applications from India.

This interest has converted into acceptances, says the university - with an overall 20% increase in overseas 
students accepting places for the autumn.

This is a valuable market, with overseas students bringing in
tuition fees and local spending power. A study last week
suggested that overseas students were worth $36bn (£28bn) per year to the US economy.
