A recent article talked about foreign francophone students in Ontario. The article said that at the only two French-language community colleges in Ontario, the refusal rates for study permits were 67% and 73%. The percentages were no better for universities.
Basically, there is a very straightforward solution to the problem. Why not raise the percentage that they have to accept?
Using Quebec as an example, people are accepted by a CEGEP or a university. They receive an acceptance certificate from the Quebec government . After that, 80% of them are refused by the federal government. It seems to me that it would be fairly simple to simply instruct them to accept 50% of applications from the francophone recruitment pools.
What do you think about that, Dr. Miville?
