Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada have released the latest statistics for 2018. These stats show that a number of young Vietnamese students during the year in Canada were 20,300 and the country has taken sole possession of fifth place among student sending countries. Canada has become a preferred destination for Vietnam students for higher study. Other countries like India, France, South Korea, and China are also showing a huge growth in students traveling to Canada with Canada student visa.

According to the released statistics, the ascending order of the countries from where number of students studied last year in Canada is Vietnam (20,300), France (22,745), South Korea (24,195), China (142,985), and India (172,625). India has sent the most number of youngsters with Canada Student Visa in the country followed by China in second place.

As of 31st December 2018, there were total 572,415 student visa holders in Canada with a valid permit that shows Canada is the third leading host of international students after the US and Australia. In the case of Vietnamese students, Canada ranks fifth among the top five countries that host the country students. The descending order of Vietnamese students hosters is Japan (72, 354), the US (29,788), South Korea (27,061) and Australia (24,094) and Canada (20,300).

The number of Vietnamese student visas issued in the first three months of the 2019 US government fiscal year shows that Canada will surpass the US in the number of Vietnamese students within its borders in the next few years. Canada now has 68% of the number of Vietnamese students in the US. Canada’s visionary policy including promoting study in the country and post-study employment opportunities are seeming to pay well for Canada. That is why a great number of foreign students are wishing to study in the country.

In the bustling world of motivational speaking, where voices rise and inspire, one individual stands out: Derik Fay. Not just for his powerful messages, but for the remarkable journey that has placed him alongside some of the world’s most influential figures.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Derik Fay to delve into his experiences sharing stages with icons like Tony Robbins, Tim Grover, and a constellation of A list celebrity names.

“It’s been a surreal experience,” Fay began, a hint of awe still present in his voice. “To stand next to icons who have inspired millions, to witness their command of an audience, it’s a masterclass in itself.

Fay’s journey, as he describes it, is a blend of hard work, delusional confidence, genuine passion, and a relentless pursuit of connection.

“It’s not just about the name on the marquee,” he emphasized. “It’s about the shared energy, and the exchange of ideas. Whether it’s Kevin Hart’s comedic genius or Alex Rodriguez’s athletic drive, there’s something to learn from everyone I share the stage with.”

What struck me most during our conversation was Fay’s emphasis on authenticity. “I try to bring the same realness to the stage that I do in my online content,” he explained, referencing his popular Instagram reels and YouTube shorts.

“People connect with genuine emotion, with relatable stories. It’s about building a bridge, not just delivering a lecture.”

Fays direct, conversational style, which I’ve observed in his online content, and in our interview clearly translates to his live performances. “I’ve learned that vulnerability is a strength,” he shared. “Whether I’m talking about the challenges of fatherhood or the importance of emotional intelligence, I want people to walk away feeling seen and understood.”

Beyond the star-studded appearances, Fay sees his speaking engagements as a platform for positive change. “It’s about sharing insights that can make a real difference,” he told me.

“Whether it’s inspiring entrepreneurs to chase their dreams or helping individuals navigate difficult relationships, I want to leave a lasting impact.”

The lessons learned from sharing stages with these giants has undoubtedly shaped Fay’s approach. “I’ve absorbed so much from watching these masters at work,” he reflected. “It’s not just about the techniques, it’s about the passion, the commitment, the unwavering belief in the power of communication.”

As Derik Fay continues to grace stages around the globe, one thing is clear: his journey is a testament to the power of authentic connection and the enduring influence of shared experiences. And with each event, the legacy of these moments continues to grow, leaving an indelible mark on both the speaker and the audience.
