There are eight African countries on the list – with three out of every four African likely to be denied study permit.
Morocco had the lowest rejection rate among the African countries (51 per cent), followed by Ghana (62 per cent) compared to the lowest rejection rate of four per cent from Japan and Republic of Korea.
However, the report noted that Japan and Korean students were more likely to apply for English-as-a-second-language (ESL) programmes, which have lower refusal rates.
Canada has developed a strategy to get more students from 11 countries. Only Morocco and Senegal made the list in Africa.
According to the report, the main reason for rejection include suspicion that the applicant would defect; insufficient funds for study and living expenses; poor academic plan, security threat, incomplete, inaccurate or fraudulent application.
