Express entry already plays a large role in helping to increase francophone immigration to official language minority communities outside of Quebec. For example, the changes themselves would permit the minister to focus on all French-speaking candidates within the express entry pool. Currently, while French-speaking candidates are provided with bonus points, which will increase their ranking score, it may not invite all French-speaking candidates within the pool. Theoretically, with the proposed authorities in use, if the minister chose to do so, the department would be able to conduct an invitation round that would virtually invite all of the identified French-speaking candidates within the express entry pool.
