One route, two phases, both fully online on Vancouver time: foundations first, then the exam itself, with a real milestone at the six-month mark.
You start with the grammar and vocabulary you use every day, and you are forming sentences out loud well before month three ends.
Past and future tenses come in, conversations stretch to 15 minutes, and by month six your French holds up under real questions.
CLB 5 in 6–9 months, enough for Francophone MobilityThe class shifts to the TEF and TCF's own format: timed sections, the specific traps each exam sets, and the tactics that actually raise a score.
Full mock exams under real conditions, plus focused speaking and writing coaching, until booking day is just a formality.
CLB 7 in 12 months, the Express Entry milestoneStrong French is worth up to 50 CRS points on your Express Entry profile. For someone already working full time in Surrey, that is the most realistic way to close a gap English scores alone cannot.

Most of our Surrey students want one thing: TEF or TCF points for their PR application. Here is why French is worth it here, and why you never need to leave the house for it.
Surrey takes in more new permanent residents than any other city in the province, and almost everyone in that group is drawing from the same federal Express Entry pool. A TEF or TCF score at CLB 7 is a PR advantage the person next to you does not have, and it is worth building before you apply, not after your file is already in.
Federal departments and Crown corporations in Metro Vancouver routinely list French as an asset or a requirement, on top of whatever your trade or profession already qualifies you for. Those roles stay closed to a strong English-only application, no matter how good the rest of the resume is.
Every class is the same live session our Gastown students attend, just without the drive over the Port Mann or the wait for a bus. You keep the evening you would have lost to a commute and put it into the class instead.
Enjoyed my 6 month starting my French journey with Martha. Our teacher Martha is a gifted to share knowledge. However I think that groups are overcrowded and if you can keep a maximum of 6 students, it will be more effective. In my group were more then 11 people, therefore we did not have enough time fro everyone to participate.
Justine and Audrey have been excellent French instructors throughout my French journey so far. Patient, friendly and very informative, highly recommend Learn French Toronto for anyone wanting to learn French.
Justine is a wonderful and caring French teacher who makes our online classes enjoyable, engaging, and welcoming. I really appreciate her attention to each student and the time she takes to correct our videos and audio recordings, helping us learn from our mistakes and improve with confidence. She always encourages everyone to participate and makes sure we feel comfortable practising French, even when we make mistakes. I also love how she brings extra examples and introduces new vocabulary, helping us expand our knowledge and use French in everyday situations. Her patience, dedication, and enthusiasm make a real difference in our learning experience. Thank you, Justine, for making our online French classes so positive and motivating!
During Martha's teaching, I was able to learn better. The homework correction also helped. Her Google Drive organization, breakout rooms and lots more. Finally, I enjoyed her classes.
Learning French is a different kind of experience, and having Justine as our teacher makes it so much more enjoyable! She is kind, patient, and very approachable. She encourages us to participate, practice, and learn without being afraid of making mistakes. I truly appreciate her support, patience, and positive attitude. I’m happy to have her as my Level 1 French teacher!
Great french instructors especially Justine, she's confident, really straight forward, helped many outside class time. The instructor made learning french for me fun and simple.
Bonjour de Guildford !Live from NewtonCLB 7, from homeSmall groups after work, a native teacher, and nothing to catch up on if life gets in the way.
Small groups after work, on Vancouver time. You talk from the first minute, and the teacher corrects you on the spot rather than at the end. Nobody sits quietly for an hour.
Our 26 teachers from France and Québec run the online and in-person cohorts alike, so a Surrey student and a Gastown student sit through the exact same curriculum.
A self-study lesson on the platform repeats whatever the live class covered, so one late shift never puts you a week behind.
Most Surrey students stay online for the whole course, and nothing about the class changes either way: same teacher, same curriculum, same schedule. The option to meet in a room is still real. Our classroom is 319 W Hastings St #400 in Gastown, inside L'Atelier co-working space, one SkyTrain ride from Surrey Central on the Expo Line, about 40 minutes door to door.
That distance works for a placement-test visit or an in-person class now and then, not for rebuilding your week around a commute. Use it once, use it often, or never: your online cohort keeps its own schedule regardless.

Wherever you are in Surrey, class is a laptop away: evenings, Vancouver time, no commute in either direction.
The free placement test takes ten minutes and tells you exactly which phase to join. Tell us your PR deadline and we'll give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
