A recent Ontario Express Entry French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream draw has set the CRS score range between 290 and 393.


On September 5, 2024, Ontario held a new Express Entry draw targeting candidates eligible for the French-speaking Skilled Worker stream.

In this draw, 86 profiles created between September 5, 2023, and September 5, 2024, were invited, with Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) scores ranging from 290 to 393.

The limited number of invitations suggests a smaller pool of candidates with CRS scores below 290.

Those who are invited and qualify for the OINP French-speaking Skilled Worker stream can receive a provincial nomination, adding 600 CRS points to their score. This significant boost greatly enhances their chances of obtaining an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency in the upcoming federal Express Entry draw.

Decrease in CRS Scores for French-Speaking Workers

This draw is the third of 2024 under the OINP French-speaking Skilled Worker stream, bringing the total number of provincial nominations this year to 1,282.

The maximum CRS score required has decreased by 16 points since the June draw and by 75 points compared to a similar draw in January.

Additionally, the minimum cutoff score has fallen by 15 points from the June draw and by 27 points since January.
