![Latest Express Entry Draw #305 Invites 400 Francophones 1 305-Express-Entry-Draw](https://www.tc-ww.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Add-a-heading-1157x533.webp)
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) conducted the latest Express Entry draw (#305) on 18 July, 2024 (just like we predicted, once again). The draw was for French-speaking skilled workers, eligible for any one of the following programs:
- Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
- Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP)
- Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
The CRS cut-off required for this round was just 400 points, which is quite a low requirement. However, since it was a category-based draw, one can justify the low point requirements.
TCWW predicts the next Express Entry draw to be held on 31 July, Wednesday.
