On the 4th of September 2025, IRCC made its third Express Entry draw<\/a> of the month<\/strong> and
\nin a historic manner, the draw targeted candidates with French language skills<\/strong>. This draw
\nresulted in an enormous issuance of 4,500 ITAs<\/strong> for permanent residence and was one of
\nthe largest category-specific draws of the year.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Focus on Francophone Immigration in Express Entry Draw<\/h2>\n

Drawn on 4 September, this particular category of the invitation was given only to candidates with very strong French speaking skills. The minimum CRS score<\/a> of 446<\/strong> for this draw waskept low compared to other categories in order to give entrants to the thousands of Francophone and bilingual candidates outside Quebec.<\/p>\n

IRCC in its pronouncements has consistently shown its support for strengthening
\nFrancophone minority communities<\/strong> in provinces such as Ontario, Manitoba and New
\nBrunswick. By prioritizing French speaking skilled workers, Canada hopes to achieve its
\ntarget of 30,000 Francophone newcomers by 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Recent Express Entry Draw Trends<\/h2>\n

That was the third draw in a busy week of Express Entry draws:<\/p>\n

\u25cf 2 September 2025<\/strong> – 249 ITAs under PNP with a CRS cut off of 772.<\/p>\n

\u25cf 3 September 2025<\/strong> – 1,000 ITAs under the CEC with a CRS cut off of 514.<\/p>\n

\u25cf 4 September 2025<\/strong> – 4,500 ITAs under French language proficiency with a CRS
\ncut-off of 446.<\/p>\n

IRCC has so far granted over 62,000 ITAs<\/strong> this year across sectors such as healthcare,
\nSTEM, trades, transportation, CEC, PNP and Francophone language candidates.<\/p>\n

Why This Express Entry Draw Matters<\/h3>\n

\u25cf Lower CRS Cut off<\/strong> – At a mere 446, these are among the lower thresholds that the
\nskilled candidates have faced for most of this year.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Category based Selection<\/strong> – This reinforces the significance of French proficiency,
\nwherein candidates can receive as much as 50 bonus CRS points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Immigration Goals<\/strong> – Therefore, aligning with the overall ongoing framework of the
\n2025\u20132027 Immigration Levels Plan to promote enhancement of bilingual workforce
\nparticipation in Canada.<\/p>\n

Next Steps for Invited Candidates in Express Entry Draw<\/h3>\n

An ITA holder must –<\/p>\n

1. Accept the invitation within 60 days on their IRCC profile.<\/p>\n

2. Submit all documents such as language test results, Educational Credential <\/strong>
\nAssessment (ECA), police clearances and medical exams.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Pay the fees for processing (CAD1,365<\/strong> for an adult in 2025).<\/p>\n

4. Then wait for processing, which IRCC aims to complete within a six month<\/strong> period.<\/p>\n

Once the application has been approved, the applicant will be issued a Confirmation of <\/strong>
\nPermanent Residence (COPR)<\/strong>, which permits them to land in Canada.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

With the 3rd Express Entry draw in September 2025<\/strong> wherein 4,500 ITAs were issued and
\na record low CRS cut off was fixed for Francophone candidates. More evidence that Canada
\nhas maintained a commitment to linguistic diversity and skilled immigration. This is a prime
\ntime for French speaking professionals in the Express Entry pool to secure permanent
\nresidence and contribute to the expanding bilingual communities of Canada.<\/p>\n\n
