All right. I understand.
We agree with you: there clearly is a demand for a special program.
We have to use the tools that are already at our disposal, but if we want to achieve a much more ambitious objective, which is necessary in order to protect French, there clearly has to be a special program for the francophonie to reflect the situation on the ground in the communities.
This week we learned that IRCC had begun efforts to reduce the study permit refusal rate for African students.
What specific measures will your department take to ensure that francophone African students are admitted in the same proportions as students from other regions of the world?
