French language skills given priority in new changes to Express Entry Starting on June 6, 2017, the Express Entry application system for skilled workers will award additional points to candidates who have French language skills. This will give French-speaking skilled-worker immigrants a better chance of meeting the minimum number of points required to be eligible to receive an invitation to apply to be a Permanent Resident. The Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen, stated that this change is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to increasing Francophone immigration and the growth of Francophone communities across Canada. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has also indicated that there will be further changes to the Express Entry system in June 2017, including awarding points for candidates with siblings in Canada and voluntary rather than mandatory registration with Job Bank. The news release from IRCC is available online here. Back to all posts Share this post:
Amit Pandey We wanted to write sincere thanks to John, Devika and Borders Law firm for the help throughout the process. John was extremely kind and thorough and he counselled with suitable options available for me on migration to Canada, documentation submissions, query resolutions, visa processing and continued personal support and follow up until the last step I am beyond grateful for their kindness and service. I will be using them for any changes to our companies immigration needs going forward. Would recommend this firm for anybody blindly looking for immigration help. They would guide you with complete transparency and professionalism. Thank you once again.
