Abstract

This research is based on the theory of the comprehensive effect of internal and external factors derived from the push-pull theory of population mobility, and uses the group of Chinese high school students who will study in Canada as subjects. Questionnaire surveys and interviews have conducted empirical research on the influencing factors of Chinese high school students’ willingness to study abroad, and explored the influence of “push-pull theory” factors on Chinese high school students’ motivation to study in Canada. The results of the study show that different cultural experiences, new knowledge and skills, different educational methods, and employment in Canada are the main “pull” factors for Chinese high school students to study abroad; China’s loose policy of studying abroad, the imbalance of supply and demand in higher education, and quality education institutions insufficiency and other aspects are the main “driving” factors for Chinese high school students to study abroad.
