India all that much. This is disheartening, especially at a time when most Indians truly believe that everyone (except maybe the Chinese and Pakistanis) love them. According to the Washington-based Pew Research Centre, while 68% of Indian adults strongly believe that India's influence has risen in the world, only a median of 28% of adults in 19 other countries seem to agree. The survey by the phoren think-tank also says that barring Nigeria and Kenya, the favourability ratings for India have dipped in most countries.

Canada between April 2022 and March 2023, according to a recent report from The Technology Councils of North America (TECNA) and Canada's Tech Network (CTN). Out of more than 32,000 tech workers, 15,097 came from India, followed by 1,808 from Nigeria, partly due to Canada's immigration-friendly national policy and labor cost advantage, the report said. According to the report, the rise of remote work has resulted in tech talents more frequently moving away from traditional tech hubs. This is partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the report said. The same report said that in 2022, Canada had more than 400,000 software developers in the country and the growth of the national tech workforce has not been limited to the bigger Canadian markets. In fact, smaller provinces like Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador have experienced the most rapid growth in their tech workforces, with a year-over-year growth of 16.3%. Mississauga, home to nearly 1,000 IT companies with over 300,000 tech professionals, and Montreal, where tech ecosystems have grown around 31 per cent from 2015 to 2020, were among the top Canadian cities to tap the talent.

UK in the year to June as employers scrambled to recruit from overseas amid ongoing labor shortages, according to official figures. The Home Office data showed how reliant the UK remains on foreign workers 2 1/2 years after the post-Brexit immigration regime came into force. The number of work visas issued was 45% more than a year earlier. Over a third of the total, 121,290, were “health and care” visas – a 157% increase in the previous year – as the UK struggled to meet the staffing needs of the National Health Service and care providers. Indian and Nigerian nationals accounted for the largest share. With employers unable to fill over a million jobs, the government has responded by expanding the shortage occupation list, its visa rule exemption system, to make it easier to bring workers into the country. However, soaring migration numbers have become a political headache for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak given the promises the Conservative government made to control Britain’s borders after the 2016 referendum that put Britain on a path out of the European Union.

UK government unveiled plans to restrict the entry of dependants for international students. The announcement sent ripples through the academic world, capturing the attention of prospective students and professionals alike. The implications of this policy shift have sparked questions about its impact on the international student landscape and the UK's higher education sector.
