French Express Entry Candidates Face Rising Competition
The latest French-language Express Entry draw has issued 4,500 ITAs, matching the March 6, 2025, draw in volume. But there’s a twist: the CRS cut-off has jumped from 410 to 446, signaling fiercer competition among French-speaking candidates.
Why the surge? Fewer CEC ITAs, more overseas candidates learning French, and a growing pool of high-scoring applicants may all be playing a role.
We break down the trends, share all the 2025 French draw numbers, and explain what this means for future candidates.
