We intend to take steps to increase the number of francophone students.
As I mentioned, the approval rate has increased from 27% in 2021 to 41% today. We will also be opening an office in Cameroon to provide services in the western and central regions of Africa.
We're still conducting promotional activities and recruitment campaigns. We're still communicating with applicants to inform them that settlement services are provided in their communities and in Canada.
There's no magic bullet, but I think it's essential that we continue increasing the approval rate and the number of francophone newcomers in the foreign student program, as well as the number of francophones in general. It's essential that francophones and individuals who speak French be able to continue living in French in Canada.
