Express Entry Draws – September 2025

In the first week of September 2025, Canada conducted three Express Entry draws, each targeting a different category: the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and a category-based draw for French-speaking candidates.

September 2, 2025 – Provincial Nominee Program: 249 invitations issued, minimum CRS score 772

September 3, 2025 – Canadian Experience Class: 1,000 invitations issued, minimum CRS score 534

September 4, 2025 – French Language Proficiency: 4,500 invitations issued, minimum CRS score 446

This pattern indicates continued emphasis from the Canadian government on targeted draws, prioritizing language proficiency and provincial needs over broad general selection. Notably, the French-language draw issued the highest number of invitations by a wide margin. These draws illustrate Canada’s immigration strategy, which emphasizes specific economic and demographic objectives such as supporting Francophone immigration, boosting provincial invitations, and giving preference to candidates with Canadian experience.
