"The concern is that Canada is struggling to compete against rivals worldwide, with more than two-thirds of Canadian universities slipping down," they stated.

From the 40 Canadian universities listed, 11 universities from Canada have improved in ranking from last year, 2 maintained their spots, and 27 dropped in the list.

The President of the Center for World University Rankings, Dr. Nadim Mahassen, said, "While Canada is well represented in this year's rankings, the country's top institutions are under increasing pressure from well-funded universities from around the world."

"Funding to further promote the development and reputation of Canada's higher education system is vital if the country aspires to be more competitive on the global stage," Dr. Mahassen concluded.
