Brand NEW French draw 😱
IRCC held Express Entry French-language proficiency draw #452 today, October 27, 2026: 5,000 invitations to apply at a CRS cut-off of 407. That is 28 points below the October 16 round, which closed at 435.
That makes 12 French draws in 2026 and 60,500 invitations this year alone. If you are aiming for Canada PR, French is still the single biggest lever in Express Entry, and a CLB 7 in TEF Canada or TCF Canada is what gets you into these rounds.
Every French draw since 2023, with cut-offs and invitation counts, lives on our French draw tracker here: https://frenchforpr.com/express-entry-french-draws/ and the full round summary is at https://frenchforpr.com/french-draw-2026-10-27/.
