Express Entry French

También conocido como: French CRS points · French Express Entry bonus · French for Canadian immigration

Express Entry French refers to the French-language CRS points awarded to permanent residence applicants under Canada's Express Entry system. Applicants who demonstrate CLB 7 or higher in French — through TEF Canada or TCF Canada — earn 25-50 additional CRS points, often the deciding factor in receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

How French CRS points work

If English is your first official language and you achieve CLB 7 in French as a second language, you earn 25 CRS points. If French is your first language with CLB 5+ English, you earn up to 50 CRS points.

Accepted French exams

IRCC accepts two French proficiency exams: TEF Canada (administered by CCI Paris IdF) and TCF Canada (administered by France Education International). Both are equally valid; choose based on which format suits you better.

Score validity for Express Entry

Test results are valid for 2 years from the test date when submitted to your Express Entry profile.
