Learning "French" for benefit in express entry.

[Serendipity...]

I think it depends on which tier job you are working in… for teer 0 and 1 you need club 7 in tef/tcf and for teer 2 job just clb 5

This is false
Regardless of TEER level, as long as you qualify for express entry, you need a CLB 7 to qualify for french draws.

I see CLB 5 at one place for TEER 2 and CLB 7 at other places. Can someone confirm? I am a TEER 2 so wanted to check for that. I am asking for both general draw and French draw

The comment above says CLB7.

For the french specific draws, CLB 7.

Thank you so so so much for the information!

I see the below information on Teers, is my understanding that CLB 5 is enough for Teer 2 & 3 categrory?

But not enough for a French draw.

HI all,

I have a question for those who got ITa under french proficiency.

How long did it take to get ITA after qualifying under the french proficiency.

Example: did it take 24 hours or longer than that?

It can be right away or within 24 hours. You'd better double check your eligibility.

Mine came on day 3. Just be patient,you'll get it.

Yes, it could be that the next government might change categories. But I think it's a good idea to learn it anyway since you will most likely always get some bonus points for Express Entry and it's a nice language to know.

HI Santosh can you share how you started, from whom did you learn.iam also starting from scratch and need motivation

Motivation is PR. If that's not enough, tough ride ahead.

Most of used things like iTalki, Duolingo(for the start), Prepmyfuture's french mock tests, etc. Start with Duolingo, start finding a tutor and join a French learning peer group.
