Canada Again Maintains 5000 ITAs for French Speaking Applicants

Breaking News: Canada has decided to focus strongly on Francophones. Because we see Canada Again Maintains 5000 ITAs for French Speaking Applicants in the latest Express Entry draw. This is the 6th such Express Entry French language skills category-based draw that is issuing exactly 5,000 ITAs for permanent residency.

This is astonishing because no other draw category has ever seen the same number of invitations being issued consecutively for the 6th time. This clearly shows Canada’s strong commitment towards raising the inflow of French-speaking applicants.

Besides, the details of the 12th Express Entry French-Language proficiency category-based draw (Oct 27, 2026) of the year are:

  • Firstly, 5,000 qualifying French-speaking applicants have an ITA to submit a Canada PR visa application.
  • Secondly, the CRS cut-off these applicants must match or exceed is 407.
  • Also, the tie-breaking rule applicable is July 13, 2026, at 19:22:00 UTC.

Moreover, the best part about this draw is visible when we compare the current draw with the last Oct 16, 2026, Express Entry (EE) draw.

  • Firstly, we see there is no change in the issuing of PR invitations.
  • Secondly, and most positively, we are seeing a 28-point fall in the CRS cut-off.

French-language skills are one of the top priorities for Canada in 2026

Besides, Canada Again Maintains 5000 ITAs for French Speaking Applicants. This clearly means that if you have French-language skills, then you can easily get a Canada PR visa. Because, as per past draws, IRCC is specifically targeting you to raise its Francophone population.

So, why not apply right now and make the most of this golden opportunity? Because Canada immigration is volatile and changes anytime. Also, we are expecting the Canada Immigration Levels Plan 2027-29 in November this year. Thus, there might be a possibility that IRCC might shift or lessen its focus on Francophones.

In short, do not wait for such a change. You can start by checking your Canada PR Eligibility HERE!
