Frequently asked questions
Does French help with Canadian immigration?
Yes. Strong French can add CRS points in Express Entry, qualify you for French-language category draws, and help in provincial programmes such as Ontario's OINP. Your TEF Canada or TCF Canada result is converted to an NCLC level, which is what programmes use.
Which French test is accepted for Canadian immigration?
IRCC accepts TEF Canada and TCF Canada for French-language proof. See our TEF vs TCF guide to choose the right one.
Does The Franish give immigration advice?
The Franish combines two things: Shivangi's own LL.B and LL.M in immigration law (which informs every guide and insight on this site) and an in-house licensed RCIC for situations that need formal regulated advice. For French-language coaching, talk to Shivangi directly. For immigration legal strategy, the in-house RCIC is available through The Franish.
