IRCC again issues an Express Entry draw specific to French Speaking professionals; the last immigration draw for Francophones was issued on 7th July, the #256th express entry draw. The immigration department has increased Invitations to Apply by 1,500, minimizing the C.R.S. score by 64 points.

From the above graph, we can measure that the Immigration Department is looking for more francophone applicants to enter Canada through an express entry pathway. The French-Speaking Category-Based Express Entry Draw allows Francophone individuals to showcase their language skills and qualifications. This Express Entry draw targets individuals with a solid French language command who possess the necessary skills and experience to develop the Canadian economy. If you have a CRS scored greater than 375, you will receive an Invitation to Apply for Canadian PR.

Francophone community in Canada:

Raphaëlle Couratin:

In 2016, Raphaëlle moved to Canada permanently with her partner Fabien from France with the thought of spending her life with snow, cold, and uncrowded ski trails to run with our dogs. He became a permanent resident of Canada, started living in northwest Canada's Yukon territory, and started her skills as a French teacher at the Yukon Montessori School.

However, Francophone communities exist in other provinces, such as New Brunswick, Ontario, and Manitoba. These communities contribute to the cultural diversity of Canada, enriching the country with their unique language, customs, and traditions. The Francophone community in Canada is an integral part of the country's multicultural identity, fostering a sense of unity and inclusivity among its citizens.
