Express Entry Draw 329

On December 3, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) held Express Entry Draw #329, issuing 800 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) under the French language proficiency category. The minimum CRS score required for this round was 466, marking the last French-focused draw of the year.

French category-based draws remain a strong pathway for candidates seeking permanent residency in Canada, particularly for those planning to settle outside Quebec. With a CRS cut-off of 466, this round highlights how proficiency in French continues to provide a strategic advantage within the Express Entry system.

For applicants meeting the French language requirements, category-based draws offer a focused and effective route to permanent residency.

A&M Canadian Immigration Law Corporation can help you assess your eligibility for French-focused draws, strengthen your CRS profile, and guide you through the Express Entry process.
