🇨🇦 Express Entry Draw Update – French-Language Proficiency

IRCC has just held another large French-language Express Entry draw, reinforcing Canada’s continued commitment to attracting French-speaking immigrants outside Quebec.

📅 Date: July 9, 2026
📊 CRS score of lowest-ranked candidate invited: 420
📩 Invitations issued: 5,000

This marks:
✔️ The 37th Express Entry draw of 2026
✔️ The largest French-language draw since March 4, 2026
✔️ The highest CRS cut-off for a French-language draw since October 6, 2025

📈 Express Entry in 2026 so far:
• 96,601 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) have been issued.
• IRCC has continued to prioritize candidates already in Canada through Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) draws, while maintaining strong support for French-speaking candidates through category-based selections.

French-language proficiency remains one of the strongest ways to improve your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA), often with significantly lower CRS requirements than other draw types.

💬 If you’re considering learning French or want to find out whether you qualify under a French-language category, now may be the perfect time to explore your options. A personalized immigration strategy can make all the difference.
