In my opinion, it is clear that the current situation indicates a systemic problem within Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. With the recruitment of foreign students in particular, there is certainly a problem when applications from certain countries, especially those in Africa, are systematically refused.
I can draw on my experience as a former rector who recruited from those countries. Very often, we waited a long time to obtain study permits.
If we are serious about selecting French-speaking candidates, we must certainly look at French-speaking countries.
