Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the honourable member for the question.
With respect to the approval rates for international students destined to Quebec versus destined to the rest of Canada, our department is always reviewing ways to address Quebec's concerns about approval rates for international students. In 2021, of all students who declared English or French as an official language, 57% of those destined to Quebec declared French.
When comparing the approval rates for students with French as a declared language, they're very similar: 41% to Quebec and 40% to the rest of Canada. This also holds true for the approval rate between the declared language for French and English students destined to Quebec. The overall approval rate for students destined to Quebec is 41%, and it's about 62% for the rest of Canada.
