As I said earlier, foreign students are important to us, no matter where they come from in the francophone world. We can't recruit solely in western Europe, in France and Belgium; we also have to travel the francophone world. We work hard with local authorities to attract potential students in Africa and the French West Indies. The problem is that there's a bottleneck, and we don't clearly understand the reasons for that bottleneck, which results in delays and refusals.
That's a problem for students who have decided to uproot their lives to come and study in Canada. As Ms. Madhany said earlier, these are students who want to come to Canada; they're interested, but when the pathway becomes complicated, they ask us for help, they contact us and ask us what we can do. We don't have the capacity for that. We have to clear the pathway so students can come to our institutions. That takes a lot of effort, and the institutions will get discouraged that some point. We'll eventually wonder collectively why we should recruit around the world, including in Africa and the French West Indies, if students ultimately face too many obstacles, give up and abandon that life plan.
