Great news for those hoping to make Canada their new home! The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) just issued a whopping 4,500 invitations to apply (ITAs) for candidates proficient in French.

If you're looking to be part of this opportunity, there are a few important criteria you should know. Candidates needed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 432 and had to create their Express Entry profile before 7:07 PM UTC on June 13, 2025.

This recent draw is the largest since early September, indicating a strong emphasis on French-speaking candidates. In fact, this year alone, more than 30,000 ITAs have been granted to French speakers!

IRCC plans to increase its targets for Francophone immigration, which means more chances for French-speaking candidates in the future. It’s a fantastic time to explore your Express Entry profile and see how you stack up against the competition!
