🇨🇦 Canada Supports French-Speaking Immigrants in 2025
✉️ Lower CRS Scores for French Speakers
In 2025, Canada is giving priority to French-speaking immigrants. Special Express Entry draws for French speakers had low CRS scores – as low as 379 – making it easier to get an invitation.
📈 Higher Targets Outside Quebec
Canada plans to welcome 29,325 French-speaking newcomers outside Quebec in 2025. This number will rise to 31,500 by 2027. The goal is to grow French-speaking communities across the country.
💰 Federal Support for Francophone Communities
Canada has announced $9.3 million in funding to help French-speaking newcomers settle, find jobs, and feel at home.
✅ Why French Helps You Immigrate
If you speak French, you have a better chance at permanent residence through Express Entry or a Provincial Nominee Program. French also gives access to special support programs.
