Yes, you can.

A lot of people think English is compulsory for Canada PR, but that’s not completely true anymore. Canada is currently giving more importance to French-speaking immigrants, especially for provinces outside Quebec.

If your French is good and you take exams like TEF Canada or TCF Canada, you can get extra CRS points in Express Entry. There are also special French-language draws where the CRS cut-off is often lower than regular draws.

This has helped many people who had low CRS scores improve their chances of getting PR.

You usually need:

  • A good French score (generally NCLC 7 or above)

  • Education documents

  • Work experience details

Of course, knowing some English is still useful for jobs and daily life in Canada. But even with basic English, strong French skills can make a big difference in your immigration profile.

That’s why many students and working professionals are now learning French specifically for Canada immigration.

If your CRS score is stuck, French can become a real advantage for your Canada PR journey.
