- Canada Prioritizes French-Language Candidates in Category-based Draws
Canada continues its strategic approach to immigration by conducting targeted draws to attract candidates with specific profiles.
In the latest draw held on July 7, Canada issued 2,300 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to candidates with French language proficiency, marking the fourth draw of its kind this week. With a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score requirement of 439, this draw had the lowest minimum score among all the draws conducted.
This week has been significant as Canada has transitioned entirely to draws aimed at specific candidate profiles. Consequently, invitations have been extended to candidates in healthcare, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), and those with French language skills. Additionally, one all-program draw was also conducted.
