The report, titled "Access Denied: Unveiling Disparities in Study Permit Approvals for African Students in Canada," emphasizes that despite Canada's reputation as a preferred study destination, significant barriers exist for African students between 2018 and 2023.
According to the report, African students have an average acceptance rate of less than 50%, whereas students from other regions consistently see acceptance rates above 75%.

"The disparities identified not only deprive bright minds of opportunities but also deprive Canada of tens of thousands of talented individuals and billions of dollars in economic contributions," said Sasha Ramani, head of Canada and corporate strategy at MPOWER.
