Yes, there is a problem. The refusal rates for postsecondary institutions in the Canadian francophonie are considerable.
In closing, I have two recommendations.
First, we must study the possibility of putting an end to the requirement to prove that candidates will return to their country. This is detrimental to the goal of increasing francophone immigration to Canada.
Second, we must foster collaboration and better information sharing between post-secondary institutions and Canadian visa offices. We have seen pilot projects in some of our community colleges that have confirmed that, with the support of the institution, students have the funds they need to study in Canada. There was even a program where funds were transferred from the university while a student's visa application was being confirmed. That helped to prove the financial capability of the student. In addition, the institution provided all the required information to the visa offices in Dakar and Rabat to ensure that the files contained accurate information.
