The world of immigration is buzzing! Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has just issued 4,500 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) through the Express Entry system for candidates who can speak French. This is exciting news for anyone looking to settle in Canada!

So, what does this mean for you? To be considered in this latest draw, candidates needed to meet a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 432. Plus, they had to create their Express Entry profile before 7:07 p.m. UTC on June 13, 2025. If you’re unsure about your profile’s competitiveness, there’s a way to check!

This year has seen some impressive ITA numbers—the highest being 7,500 invitations for French-speaking candidates in March. Overall, around 70,338 ITAs have been issued so far this year! French-speaking candidates are leading the pack, with a total of 30,000 invitations already!

The future looks bright for Francophone immigration. IRCC plans to increase targets for French-speaking individuals outside Quebec next year, likely resulting in more draws like this one. Whether you’re thinking about applying or just curious about the process, stay tuned for more updates!
