IRCC has issued its #273th Express Entry Draw to French-speaking professionals. It is the 6th Express Entry Draw of 2023, which has sent Invitations To Apply to French-speaking skilled workers overseas.
The number of invitations has declined steadily over the past few months while the C.R.S. cut-off has been increasing. This suggests it is becoming more difficult for French-speaking workers to immigrate to Canada through the Express Entry program.
Despite this, there are still many opportunities for French-speaking workers in Canada. The Canadian government is committed to supporting bilingualism and multiculturalism, and there is a high demand for French-speaking workers in many sectors, including healthcare, education, and government.
