Canada held category-based Express Entry draw for French language proficiency
On April 24 – 2024, the Canadian government invited 1400 candidates with strong French-speaking abilities to apply for immigration through the Express Entry system. These candidates were required to have a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of at least 410 to be eligible.
It’s noteworthy that strong French-speaking abilities were highlighted as the primary selection criteria for these candidates. Unlike other selection categories, which often prioritize work experience, the emphasis in this draw was specifically on language proficiency, particularly in French.
This emphasis on French language skills aligns with the mandate of Canada’s immigration minister to promote the French language outside of Quebec. The release announcing the draw emphasized the government’s commitment to prioritizing the invitation of French-speaking newcomers, indicating a concerted effort to enhance linguistic diversity and promote French language proficiency across the country.
