Immigrant teenagers are much more ambitious than their Canadian-born peers when it comes to higher education, according to research from the University of Alberta.
Crunching numbers from a Statistics Canada survey of teens, the researchers found close to 80 per cent of visible minority teenagers born outside Canada hope to earn at least one university degree. Among teens born in Canada who are not members of a visible minority, it's just under 60 per cent.
