Well, I'm basically maxed out everywhere else. Missed CLB10 on English writing, so potentially +3 points here. I could do PhD, but it gives only 14 additional points to my current master and takes like 3 or 4 years. Learning French compared to this seems much easier and gives potentially additional 42 points (3*4 for each skill @CLB7 and additional 30 points for good English. So this looks not so bad, and I think that one year of diligent learning may be enough. Will lose 10 points due to my age in October, so not so many options left.even if you start learning french, wont it required at least 1 year to reach at a lever that get us some extra point, i have been learning English since i was 14 years old and still i am missing .5 band in writing everytime i dont know how long will it take to learn french?
Alternatively, I may try to become younger. Haven't figured it out how, though. Still working on it.
