Do you speak French fluently but still feel unsure about how to use it to immigrate to Canada?
Many French-speaking candidates know they have an advantage — but don’t know how to turn language skills into a real pathway for permanent residence in Canada. Maybe you’re unsure which program applies to you, how to prepare for the TEF or TCF, or whether your CRS score is high enough.You might be in the Express Entry pool already — but not getting invited. At Dayana Immigration, we offer personalized support for Francophone candidates applying through the Express Entry Canada system. If you have strong French language proficiency, you may qualify for category-based draws with lower CRS scores — giving you a significant edge.

The Francophone stream refers to Express Entry draws targeting French-speaking candidates with NCLC 7 or higher, offering lower CRS cut-offs and bonus points.
You must take TEF Canada or TCF Canada. Both are accepted by IRCC, and you need at least NCLC 7 in all four language skills to qualify for French category draws.
You can earn up to 50 additional CRS points for French language proficiency, depending on your scores and whether English is your second language.
Yes, Francophone candidates from abroad can apply through Express Entry, as long as they meet eligibility requirements for one of the federal programs.
We assess your eligibility, guide you in choosing the right program, help you with TEF/TCF prep, and manage your Express Entry profile and application.
No, French alone isn’t enough — you still need to meet all other eligibility requirements. This includes having skilled work experience, an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), proof of funds (if required), and being eligible under one of the federal programs (FSW, CEC, or FST). However, strong French proficiency can significantly boost your CRS score and make you eligible for special French-speaking category draws.
Not a separate program, but a special draw category. Express Entry has category-based draws that specifically invite French-speaking candidates. If you score NCLC 7 or higher in French (in all four language abilities), and meet basic Express Entry requirements, you may be invited in a Francophone-targeted draw, which usually has lower CRS cut-offs than general draws.
Both TEF Canada and TCF Canada are accepted by IRCC, and neither is officially “easier.” That said, many candidates find TCF a bit more straightforward, as it's shorter and more structured. Others prefer TEF for its broader availability and testing formats (paper or computer-based). The best choice depends on your strengths, test availability, and comfort with the format.
TEF and TCF Canada results are valid for 2 years from the date of the test for Express Entry and all IRCC applications. Make sure your test results are still valid at the time you receive an ITA and when you submit your permanent residence application.
Yes — and it's a great strategy. You can use French (TEF or TCF) as your second language, and IELTS or CELPIP as your first language, or vice versa. If you score well on both, you can earn up to 50 CRS points for your second language, plus additional points for strong first-language scores. Combining both can dramatically improve your chances.
In general Express Entry draws, candidates are selected based on overall CRS score — the higher your score, the better your chances. In French category draws, language proficiency is the priority, and CRS cut-off scores are usually lower. To be considered for French draws, you must meet NCLC 7+ in all four skills on TEF or TCF, and have an active Express Entry profile.
Yes, absolutely. Several provinces in Canada actively recruit French-speaking candidates through their Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). For example, Ontario’s French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream is designed for Francophones with strong English and French abilities. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points, almost guaranteeing an ITA in Express Entry.
