A new Express Entry draw in Ontario has issued 212 invitations for permanent residency under the French-Speaking Skilled Worker program. The last time francophones were selected was in March, which was 4 months ago.

‼️This is the second invitation for francophones in 2024, and the score threshold has decreased compared to the January draw, reaching 305 points (!!!), which is a very low score.

✅Learning French is an effective way to obtain permanent residency in Canada. French also increases your chances of being selected in targeted Express Entry draws.
