Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has conducted another major selection round under the Express Entry system. In latest Express Entry Draw #365 draw, 4,500 candidates with French-language proficiency received invitations to apply (ITAs) for permanent residence. The minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score required was 446, and only candidates who submitted their profile before June 16, 2025, at 7:21 a.m. UTC were considered.

This is the third Express Entry draw of the week and highlights the growing opportunities for skilled professionals aiming to settle in Canada. With over 62,000 ITAs issued so far in 2025, Canada continues to prioritize skilled workers across categories, including French speakers, Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidates, Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) applicants, and healthcare professionals.

Why Express Entry Draw #365 Matters for French-Speaking Candidates?

The September 5, 2025, draw is particularly significant because it reflects Canada’s ongoing focus on bilingualism. French-speaking candidates continue to benefit from targeted rounds, often with lower CRS thresholds compared to other categories. For many international applicants, this opens the door to permanent residence even if their CRS score is not competitive in general draws.

This week alone, IRCC has held three draws:

• September 3, 2025: Canadian Experience Class (CEC): 1,000 ITAs, CRS cut-off 534
• September 2, 2025: Provincial Nominee Program (PNP): 249 ITAs, CRS cut-off 772
• September 5, 2025: French-language proficiency: 4,500 ITAs, CRS cut-off 446

Such frequent draws demonstrate Canada’s high demand for skilled talent and a commitment to achieving its ambitious immigration targets.
