CRS Score Plunges in Latest Express Entry Draw
This round issued a massive 4,500 Invitations to Apply (ITAs), resulting in a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of just 432. This marks a notable drop of 14 points from the previous French draw and is one of the lowest CRS cut-offs seen in 2025 for any category outside the initial French-language rounds.
The draw underscores Canada's firm commitment to strengthening its Francophone communities and meeting labor needs through skilled bilingual immigration. For candidates who have achieved a strong French language proficiency (typically NCLC Level 7 or higher), this category remains the most accessible and highest-opportunity pathway in the Express Entry system.

IRCC Reveals Which PR Backlogs It Will Clear in 2025
New information straight from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) outlines which permanent residence (PR) application inventories they plan to clear entirely this year.
According to the latest data, all Express Entry programs—including the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker (FSWP), and Federal Skilled Trades (FSTP)—are targeted to have their entire application inventory processed in 2025. The same clearance goal applies to Express Entry-aligned Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) and Quebec's skilled worker pathways.
However, many other pathways will see limited progress. IRCC plans to process only a small fraction of applications for programs like the Base PNP (35%), Atlantic Immigration Program (33%), Start-up Visa (2%), and Caregiver Pilots (14%). This data reveals a clear government priority: accelerating decisions for skilled workers who are already in the Express Entry pool.
Challenge IRCC Application Refusal? Appeal or Judicial Review
Our latest video, "Challenge IRCC Application Refusal? Appeal or Judicial Review," breaks down exactly what steps you can take after a negative decision. We clarify the difference between the three key avenues:
Immigration Appeal: Available only for specific applications like spousal sponsorship or permanent resident residency obligation.
Judicial Review (Federal Court): The primary recourse for all other refusals (e.g., Study Permits, Work Permits, Express Entry) where you challenge the legality or reasonableness of the officer's decision.
Reconsideration Request: The fastest, cheapest option, though it is not guaranteed.
Don't accept a refusal without knowing your full legal rights!
