In a notable development for interested immigrants looking to Canada as their new home, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently held its second Express Entry draw of the week. This special draw focused on specific categories, providing French-speaking candidates the opportunity to begin their Canadian journey.

Within Express Entry Draw 270, the IRCC extended 3020 invitations to eligible applicants in the French-language proficiency category. To qualify for an Invitation to Apply (ITA), candidates needed to attain a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System Score (CRS) of 486. In compliance with the tie-breaking rule, priority was given to those candidates who created their profile before 04:22:17 AM UTC on September 30, 2023.

When comparing the most recent Express Entry draw for "French language proficiency" to its predecessors, two significant trends emerge. Firstly, the minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required for an invitation has been steadily rising. Secondly, the number of invitations issued has been gradually decreasing.
