The latest Express Entry report reveals a significant advantage for Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) candidates with French language proficiency. In 2023, 92% of Invitations to Apply (ITAs) in French-language proficiency draws went to FSW candidates, totalling 8,005 invitations. This trend highlights the importance of French skills in Canada’s immigration landscape. While general draws saw fewer FSW invitations, category-based draws offered new opportunities, particularly in healthcare and STEM fields. As Canada continues to welcome economic immigrants, FSW candidates are advised to diversify their skills, improve their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores, and stay informed about evolving immigration policies to maximize their chances of success in 2024 and beyond.
