There are lots of advantages in learning French language:
If you speak French fluently you will have access to more jobs, especially in eastern Canada. Many corporate and government jobs also require you to be bilingual in both languages.
Of all the benefits, one incredible perk is Canada PR. Canada has earned a reputation as an attractive destination for immigrants to start a life. The nation also offers a simple path to citizenship. If you wish to settle in Canada as a permanent resident, you need to apply for one of the immigration plans like the Express Entry Program (EEP), Quebec Skilled worker Program (QSWP), Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), and others.
Certification in French Language helps with your Canadian Immigration by providing additional points in Express Entry Program (EEP), Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), Quebec Skilled worker Program (QSWP) to Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
In order to claim points for French-language proficiency through Express Entry, you have to take an approved language test for Canadian immigration. Currently, there are two French-language tests approved for this purpose:
The test comprises four modules: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
