Recently worked on a site easysencanada specifically aimed at helping students in Senegal study abroad in Canada
It's targeting a specific socioeconomic situation which doesn't generalize across Africa: relatively wealthy families wanting their children to study abroad in French while having trouble understanding paperwork & available colleges/universities (the older relatives may speak Wolof primarily)
- alephnerd 3y agoOh whoa! That's pretty cool! Are you going to expand it across Francafrique or are you going to stick to Senegal for now? How does Canada vs France vs Belgium rank among Senegalese at least from a education perspective? I thought the French Canadian unis were weaker in prestige than their France counterparts, but I guess having the ability to get PR in Canada is a massive value add. Would love to compare it with similar products aimed at Indians and Chinese in a similar economic strata who are targeting Canada, Australia, and the UK. Edit: ah, it's education visa consultancy. That makes sense! Yea you'll def do well!
- __s 3y agoI helped with implementing site on the side, so not involved in its operations except as a friend. But I think the business owner aims to expand to more visa consultancy categories instead of other countries As such, I'm also not sure about relative prestige of different countries, but my understanding is there's a lot of demand to study abroad anywhere. Canada in particular tends to have overlooked openings because most people will only focus on Quebec for French studies, but there's plenty of French studies (& francophone population) in northern Ontario, east coast, & even Saskatchewan
