Absolutely. Unfortunately, we have no promotion and recruitment strategy for French-speaking countries in general, but that's especially true for Africa. As I said in my opening remarks, we don't have the capacity. The Dakar office has to process visa applications from 15 or 16 countries, which means it serves up to 276 million people. They don't have the processing capacity and the strategy for Africa lacks consistency. It's obvious.
The Francophonie will grow around the world and reach 700 million people by 2050. Most of that growth will happened in sub-Saharan Africa, but also in Maghreb. We therefore need a strategy specifically targeting international students in French-speaking Africa, but we also need a much more global strategy. The Canadian government needs adequate resources to promote immigration in Francophonie countries and, most of all, it has to be able to process visa applications to address the major labour shortage across all sectors in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.
