Canada held 3 Express Entry draws in one week, including 4,500 French-speaking candidates invited at a CRS of 446—one of 2025’s lowest. Bilingual talent is clearly in demand.
On September 5, 2025, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited 4,500 candidates in a targeted Express Entry draw focused on French-language proficiency. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required was 446, significantly lower than recent draws.
This draw followed two others earlier in the same week:
Sept 2: Provincial Nominee Program – 249 ITAs, CRS 772
Sept 3: Canadian Experience Class – 1,000 ITAs, CRS 534
Together, these three draws reflect Canada’s evolving immigration priorities:
Increased focus on category-based selection
Strong support for Francophone immigration
Lower CRS thresholds for targeted groups
With over 62,000 ITAs issued in 2025, bilingual professionals—especially the French speakers—are being actively welcomed.
If you’re considering permanent residency and meet the language criteria, this is a strategic moment to act. At #NISHASNET, we offer expert guidance on profile creation, pathway selection, and readiness for upcoming draws.
