FAQs: Your Path to Clarity
📌 How long does it take to learn French for Canadian immigration?
With our structured program, most students reach CLB 7 (the level required for maximum Express Entry points) in about 12 months — starting from zero. Read our full guide: What is CLB 7 in French?. The first 6 months focus on building strong French foundations through our French Transformation program. The next 6 months focus specifically on TEF or TCF exam preparation. Students targeting CLB 5 for Francophone Mobility can often reach their goal in 6-9 months. Our French classes in Vancouver are available online and in-person — so you can start from anywhere.

📌 How can I know which level to join?
If you have previously learned French and prefer to start the program at Level 2 or higher, we recommend taking a placement test or contacting us to determine the best starting point for you, ensuring you join the class that best matches your proficiency level.
Please note that due to our small group class format, we do not offer refunds. All registrations are final.
📌 What materials are provided in the group classes, and are they included in the price?
All materials are included in the price, designed to complement and enhance your classroom learning experience. During your studies, you will have access to:
- Online Platform: Includes recordings of all classes, homework, and additional resources.
- Weekly Video Challenges: Provides opportunities to practice French between classes.
- Special Invitations: Access to exclusive student-only events.
- Immersive Resources: A list of top French movies, series, books, and podcasts to help you immerse yourself in the French language and culture.
📌 What's the difference between TEF and TCF?
Both the TEF Canada and TCF Canada are accepted by IRCC for immigration purposes and test the same 4 skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. The main differences are in the writing section (TEF has 2 tasks, TCF has 3) and speaking section (TEF has 2 tasks, TCF has 3). Our program prepares you for both exams simultaneously, so you can decide which to take based on availability. Read our full TEF vs TCF comparison →
📌 How long does it take to prepare for the TEF or TCF exam?
For students with no prior knowledge of French, we recommend first enrolling in the 6-month ‘French Transformation’ program to build a strong foundation in the language. After completing this program, students can then take our TEF/TCF preparation course, which lasts 3 months to reach CLB 4 or 6 months to reach CLB 7.
To achieve the best results, we advise students to attend all live classes and complete all assigned homework. Additionally, we provide extra resources for those who are fully committed to their French learning journey. Immersing yourself for a full year by watching French movies, reading French books, and listening to French podcasts daily will further enhance your proficiency and readiness for the TEF or TCF exam.
📌 Do I need to learn French in person, or can I take classes online?
We offer both! All our group classes and TEF/TCF preparation courses are available online via Zoom, so you can learn from anywhere in Canada. If you’re in Vancouver, you also have the option to attend in-person classes at our location in Gastown. Both formats follow the exact same curriculum with the same native French teachers.
📌 I don't want to prepare for an exam — I just want to learn French. Is this school for me?
Absolutely! While many of our students prepare for the TEF or TCF, our French Transformation program (Levels 1-6) is a comprehensive French course that builds genuine fluency. Students learning French for work, travel, family, or personal enrichment follow the same foundational curriculum. No exam preparation required — just the love of learning a beautiful language.
