Systemic racism is present in Canada, and more must be done to end it. African students should not face unfair selection criteria when applying for study permits, but unfortunately, they often do.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) acknowledged the problems in response to a House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration report.
IRCC acknowledged there is racism in Canada along with within the organization itself and concurred that more needs to be done concerning racial bias and discrimination as it pertains to organizational policies, programs, functions, and processing.

On October 12, 2022, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced the expansion of advanced analytics and other automated technology.
IRCC's use of advanced analytics and automation is part of its commitment to leveraging technology responsibly to build a more robust immigration system.
The new tool will save time by automating clerical and repetitive tasks related to sorting applications so that IRCC officers can focus on assessing applications and making final decisions.
This will result in quicker client decisions and faster processing times overall for visitor record applications.

On October 7, 2022, Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), announced that the Government of Canada has temporarily lifted the 20-hour-per-week cap on the number of hours that international students are allowed to work off-campus while in session.
International students who are in Canada and have off-campus work authorization on their study permit will not be restricted by the 20-hour-per-week limit from November 15, 2022, to December 31, 2023.
Foreign nationals who have already applied for a study permit may also take advantage of this temporary policy if their application is accepted as of October 7, 2022.
