Express Entry category based draw invites 1500 Francophones

Canada holds third draw for French speaking applicants seeking Canada PR visa. Express Entry category based draw invites 1500 Francophones. However, we can see a constant fall in ITAs and a rise and fall in CRS cut-off.

The details of the current Mar 26, 2024, Express Entry French Speaking Category-based draw are:

  • Firstly, 7,000 applicants have an ITA to apply for Canada PR visa.
  • Secondly, the CRS cut-off is set at 388.
  • Also, the tie-breaking rule applicable for this rule is March 10, 2024, at 20:06:26 UTC.

Besides, the applicants who wish to apply must do the following:

  • Firstly, apply under 1 of the EE sub-streams:
    • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
    • Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
    • Canadian Experience Class
  • Secondly, meet Human Capital Factors:
    • Age
    • Education
    • Work Experience
    • Language Skills
  • Also, to qualify in French speaking category-based EE draw:
    • Have strong French language skill level – NCLC 7 in TECF/TEF.

Besides, after getting an ITA 1500 Francophones will have 60 days to apply for a Canada PR visa. IRCC will then assess their PR visa application. If satisfactory, it will issue a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).

The current draw is the 3rd Express Entry French-Speaking category-based draw. The following table below sheds light on the changes in ITAs for PR and the CRS cut-off.

Date ITAs CRS cut-off
Feb-01-2024 7000 365
Feb-29-2024 2500 336
Mar-26-2024 1500 388

Looking at the above table we can see a constant decline in ITAs for PR visas. However, we see mix reaction of the CRS cut-off. A stark decline in ITAs may indicate the slowing demand for French-speaking applicants. However, we must note that this was all the rage in 2023. But it will be interesting to see future similar draws.
