Why learn French?
Bilingual jobs pay more
Federal government roles, banks, airlines, healthcare — bilingual positions across Canada shortlist French speakers first, and many pay a bilingualism premium.
More doors than one draw
Francophone streams in Ontario, New Brunswick and beyond favour French speakers too. If policy shifts, your French still counts — the skill outlives any single program.
Settle in, not just land
From Montréal cafés to francophone communities across Canada, French turns arrival into belonging — school runs, small talk, neighbours, life.
A skill the whole world recognises
300+ million speakers across five continents. Whatever happens with immigration policy, certified French stays on your CV forever.

Stuck around CRS 420–470? General all-program draws have been paused since 2024, and the CEC draw now sits at 517. Strong French (NCLC 7 in all four skills) unlocks the French-language draws — which last cut off at 420 — and adds up to 50 bilingual CRS points on top. It's the single biggest lever left on the board.

THE LADDER TO CLB 7
Every level, mapped to your goal
CEFR levels, their CLB equivalents (NCLC — the French-language scale), and what you can actually do at each.
Basic level. One can understand and use everyday expressions. One can interact in a simple manner, using simple sentences.
- One can read a very short, rehearsed statement.
- One can understand and use familiar words and everyday expressions, and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of the needs of a concrete type.
- One can introduce him/herself and others also.
- One can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has.
- Can understand instructions carefully and can address others slowly and follow short, simple directions.
- One can understand commonly used expressions. One can communicate in a simple manner, using simple sentences and common phrases.
- One can describe or use simple phrases to talk about people, living conditions, daily activities, and likes and dislikes.
- One can communicate in simple and routine tasks.
- One can make short social exchanges where diction is clear, slow and well-articulated.
- One can understand simple expressions and common phrases related to areas of most immediate relevance to me such as personal and family details, shopping, my local area, and the working environment.
- One can pronounce words clearly enough to be understood during very simple exchanges even if the person to whom I am speaking asks me to repeat them.
- One can understand and discuss various topics encountered in daily life and give their opinion about such topics.
- One can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst traveling in an area where the language is spoken.
- One can enter into a conversation on familiar topics (e.g. work, school, hobbies, etc).
- One can express their personal opinion.
- One can use simple terms to relate an experience, event, story in the books or films, and describe their own reactions to it.
- One can understand more advanced topics. One can also speak about such topics more extensively and participate in such discussions.
- One can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain from either party.
- One can express and defend their opinions by giving relevant explanations and arguments.
- One can actively sustain a discussion within a familiar context, accounting to justify their views.
- One can understand the main points of standard speech on familiar topics and able to pronounce words clearly and use stress and intonation almost perfectly.
CLB 7 in all four skills is what the French-language Express Entry draws require — and exactly where our A0 → CLB 7 track is aimed.
- One can understand more advanced topics. One can also speak about such topics more extensively and participate in such discussions.
- One can express themselves fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for words or expressions.
- One can present clear, detailed descriptions of complex subjects.
- One can understand extended speech even when it is not clearly structured.
- One can recognize a range of idiomatic expressions, common colloquialisms, and changes of register.
- One can perfect their pronunciation of certain sounds and their melody of speech, where necessary.
- One can produce clear, fluent, logically structured, effective speech that helps the recipient notice and remember the significant points.
- One can convey the finer shades of meaning related to complex subjects.
- One can have a good familiarity with idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms.
- One can understand with ease virtually all forms of spoken language, whether live or recorded, even when delivered at fast native speed.

KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK
Only two exams count for PR
IRCC accepts exactly two French tests for Express Entry — and every year, people lose months and hundreds of dollars booking the wrong one. Here's the full picture:
TEF Canada
- Format: computer-based, all four sections in one sitting
- Speaking: recorded on the day, scored later
- Results: in ~3–4 weeks
- Scoring: wide points band on writing & speaking — often the more forgiving option at the CLB 7 borderline
- We prepare you for this exam
TCF Canada
- Format: computer or paper-based, depending on the centre
- Structure: four mandatory tests, ~2h47m total
- Scoring: writing & speaking graded 0–20 — a single point can separate CLB 6 from CLB 7
- What that means: exam strategy matters as much as your French
- We prepare you for this exam
What does NOT count
- TEFAQ / TCF Québec — only for Quebec's own immigration programs, not Express Entry
- DELF / DALF — a prestigious lifetime diploma, but NOT accepted for Express Entry (even a DALF C1 holder must still sit TEF/TCF Canada)
- Generic TEF / TCF "tout public" — wrong version, not valid for immigration
Both accepted exams map to the same NCLC scale, cost roughly CAD $400–450, and results are valid for 2 years. Not sure which suits you? Message us — the right choice depends on your profile, and we'll tell you straight.
Ask which exam fits youAND HOW WE TRAIN AGAINST IT
The exam has traps . We drill every one.
One weak skill sinks everything
IRCC counts your lowest score. Every year, candidates clear three skills and land CLB 6 in one — and the whole profile drops below the line. We diagnose your weakest skill first and train it hardest.
The audio plays ONCE
TEF Canada's listening section gives you one play. No replays, no mercy. We train one-play listening from week one, so exam day sounds familiar, not terrifying.
Speaking is where points die
The oral is a live, graded conversation — the one skill no app can teach. You'll do graded mock orals every single week until the real one feels routine.
Trainers who explain in your language
Our trainers teach French through English and Hindi, and know exactly where speakers of Indian languages stumble — so grammar clicks in minutes, not months. Every class works fully in English too.
92% of our students hit CLB 7 on their first attempt.

Weekly graded full mocks with skill-by-skill CLB scoring
TCF Canada track
- Listening & Reading: computer-based format practice at real question rhythm and timing
- Writing (3 tasks): structure and scoring drills — where a single point separates CLB 6 from CLB 7
- Speaking (3 tasks): examiner-style live practice, recorded and reviewed
Weekly graded full mocks with skill-by-skill CLB scoring
Levels A0 → CLB 7 in structured stages. Message us your level and we'll tell you exactly which stage you start at.

Ramanpreet S.
TEF Canada CLB 7 · PGWP holder, Toronto

Meera J.
TCF Canada NCLC 7 · Nurse, Surrey
“Evening batches fit around my shifts, and the computer-based mock tests meant nothing on exam day surprised me.”
Aditya K.
DELF B2 · Software Engineer

Simran G.
DELF B1 in 7 months · Student

Frequently asked questions
Honestly: it depends where you start. From zero, CLB 7 typically takes 10–14 months of consistent study; from A2/B1, often 4–6 months of exam-focused prep. Message us your level and your deadline — if your window is too tight, we'll tell you straight and show you the fastest realistic plan instead of selling you false hope.
You don't need fluency — you need CLB 7, a specific, teachable target (roughly B2: structured opinions, clear writing, confident everyday speech). Thousands of first-generation learners clear it every year with exam-focused training.
Apps stall at B1 — and the exam is won in speaking and listening. The TEF audio plays once; the oral is a live graded conversation. No app corrects your speech or simulates that. Our live classes do exactly that, every week.
Both count equally for IRCC. TEF's production sections are scored on a wider band (often kinder to borderline candidates); TCF's tight 0–20 scale rewards precise exam strategy. The right pick depends on your profile — message us and we'll recommend one, with reasons.
Fair question. French draws are currently the only Express Entry category IRCC has publicly committed to growing, with francophone targets rising through 2028 — but policy can change, and we won't pretend otherwise. What doesn't change: CLB 7 French also earns up to 50 bilingual CRS points, opens Francophone Mobility work permits, and strengthens PNP options. The skill keeps its value across pathways.
We're a language school, not an immigration consultancy — we never sell PR promises and we're not licensed to give immigration advice. What we do: teach French, prepare you for TEF/TCF, and publish real outcomes. Named trainers, transparent fees, and you can meet your trainer before paying anything.
Cohorts run on Canadian evenings and weekends (EST/PST-friendly), every class is recorded, and batches are small enough that missing a week doesn't mean falling behind.
Not at all. Classes run in English plus French; our trainers can explain through Hindi when it helps — many students love that — but every cohort is fully accessible in English.
One WhatsApp message. Tell us your level, your timeline and your target exam — we'll confirm your batch, fees and start date. No forms, no call centres.
