"This report presents the overall results from a web survey conducted by BC Stats, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development (ALMD), and the International Student Survey Steering Committee. The web survey was conducted from October to December 2008. The survey targeted international post-secondary students in B.C. The purpose of the International Student Survey (ISS) was to obtain direct feedback from international students about their learning and living experiences in B.C. The survey was also constructed to indicate whether ALMD's initiatives with educational institutions and government partners benefited international students." -- Introduction, P. 1.
