Express Entry: Rounds of invitations - Canada.ca
IRCC updated the status notice for Express Entry French-language proficiency round #418 (May 28, 2026). The BEFORE text stated that IRCC was aware some eligible candidates had not received invitations and was reviewing the situation. The AFTER text confirms the issue has been resolved and that eligible candidates should now have received their ITAs. This is critical for any affected client: they should check their IRCC account for a newly issued ITA and be aware of the 60-day deadline to submit a complete application.

When a change lands, the engine re-checks the files it affects
Navisa is an AI file-prep engine for Canadian immigration firms. It reads the documents on a file, cross-checks them, runs the eligibility analysis against retrieved official sources, and flags what an officer would — citations attached. It does not replace the judgment of a licensed immigration professional; a consultant reviews and approves the work.
