Canada has issued 1,000 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to French speakers in a new Express Entry draw. 

The December 7 targeted draw saw a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 470 points – 16 points lower than the draw targeting French speakers before that. 

IRCC’s previous draw – a general round of invitations – took place just a day prior, on December 6, issuing 4,750 invitations with a minimum score of 561 points.

It was the first EE draw in over a month. 

The last draw targeting French speakers – Draw 34 – was held on October 25, one in which 300 ITAs were issued, and which witnessed the lowest CRS Score of 486.

IRCC issued a record 114,431 ITAs in 2021, to all Canadian Experience Class and Provincial Nominee Program candidates. It beat the previous record of 107,350 set in 2020.

Canada has a record immigration target of 465,000 for 2023.

This was the 37th round of invitations under Express Entry in 2023 and 273rd overall.

Candidates have a 60-day window to submit their applications, which will be processed within the six-month standard.
