Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted its fourth Express Entry draw of the month.
The Express Entry latest draw held on July 08, 2024, invited 3,200 ITAs candidates in a category-based selection draw for French language proficiency. Invited candidates required a CRS score of 420 to be eligible.
Type of draw: French language proficiency
Candidates invited to this Express Entry latest draw will have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residency (PR) to the IRCC. If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the CRS score cut-off will be based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.
French language proficiency draws are anticipated to make up 30% of the ITAs issued in category-based selection draws this year. So far, IRCC has issued 15,600 ITAs to eligible candidates in this category.
By prioritizing the invitation of French-speaking newcomers, Canada aims to support economic growth through Francophone immigration outside Quebec while recognizing how it enriches and strengthens these communities. As compared to the other five newly announced selection categories for Express Entry draws, French language proficiency is the only one that does not consider work experience as the key attribute to be invited to apply for Canada PR.
Today’s draw follows three draws from the last week - between July 02-05.
The July 02 draw invited 920 candidates in a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) only draw. Candidates needed a minimum CRS score of 739 to be considered. The other two draws were category-based selection draws. The first occurred on July 04 and issued 1,800 ITAs to candidates in trade occupations and the second was for 3,750 candidates in healthcare occupations on July 5.
This month has been particularly active for the Express Entry Program. Typically, IRCC conducts draws every two weeks, averaging between two and four draws monthly. The last time there were four draws in a month was in April - and February has been the busiest month this year with six draws.
