According to Polestar Research's September 2019 news, in the winter and spring of 2019, the IRCC rejected an average of three out of every four African students applying for a student visa.

An analysis of the trend of rejection of student visas found that students from African countries were much more likely to be rejected than students from any other region.

In the first five months of 2019, the IRCC rejected 39% of applications worldwide. The rejection and approval rates for student visas vary greatly depending on where the student is coming from and what kind of education is being sought in Canada. For example, only 4% of applications for study in Japan and South Korea were rejected this year, while the refusal rates for Algeria, Cameroon, and Nigeria/Pakistan were 86% and 82% and 81%, respectively (below). Students from Japan and Korea who apply to take the English as a Second Language (ESL) program are more likely to receive a student visa. In addition, the refusal rate of ESL courses is lower than the refusal rate of university courses. 

The chart is based on data provided by IRCC to Polestar Research

Overall, immigration officials rejected 75% of applications for admission from Africa. These figures only include new study applications and do not include extensions. These figures also do not include applications for withdrawal.

Officials can refuse to study licenses for a variety of reasons:

－If they suspect that students may not return to their home country after graduation;

－If the student does not have sufficient funds to pay tuition and living expenses during their stay in Canada;

－If the student poses a health or safety threat to Canada;

－If the official believes that the student’s academic plan is unreasonable;

－If the application documents are incomplete or incorrect, or there is evidence of fraud in the application documents.
