Why This Draw Matters

This draw is part of Canada’s category-based selection system, which targets candidates with specific skills or attributes. The French Language Proficiency category supports the growth of Francophone communities outside Quebec, contributing to Canada’s cultural and linguistic diversity.

Opportunities for French-Speaking Candidates

French-speaking candidates continue to benefit from targeted draws, increasing their chances of securing permanent residency. Strong language skills in both of Canada’s official languages are highly valued in the labour market and help newcomers integrate more smoothly into society.

What to Do If You Were Invited

If you received an ITA, you have 60 days to submit a complete application for permanent residence. Ensure your documents, including language test results and proof of work experience, are accurate and up to date.

If You Weren’t Invited

Candidates who didn’t make the cut this time can improve their CRS score by enhancing their French language proficiency, gaining more work experience, or securing a provincial nomination.
