Canada: However, the report says that Canada overall standing was impacted because its immigrant population is higher than other nations, according to CTV. C.D. Howe analyzed a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development that measured the performance of adults in literacy, numeracy and problem-solving on computers in 24 countries. The report from the C.D. Howe Institute noted that Canadian immigrants do well compared to their counterparts in other countries. Results of the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies were released in October 2013. The country was below the international average in numeracy. In the survey, Canada placed at the international average in literacy and slightly higher in problem-solving. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
