Two invitations for French speakers in less than a month

Let's celebrate! Once again, IRCC launches not one, but two rounds of invitations for the French Dominion category. First it selected 3200 French speakers and a few weeks later 1800, now these foreigners will be here in Canada with permanent residence status..

Undoubtedly, the team of Planet Immiland team is pleased to know that so many people with a desire to excel challenged themselves one day and broke the language barrier. Not only is speaking French a beautiful skill, it is also incredibly useful if you are considering emigrating to a safe and developed country like Canada.

The Express Entry Canada's Express Entry system has been issuing ITAs (Invitations to Apply) since the beginning of 2024 for the French-speaking category, which attracts a lot of attention from those interested in traveling to the country because they realize the enormous importance and value of speaking French. importance and value of speaking French in the in the Canadian immigration process. In this new blog of our academy, I will tell you how to prepare from scratch for French and move closer to being invited by this category. Let's get started!

Starting French from scratch to communicate

At first, it may seem difficult, but once you start acquiring new vocabulary and apply it to the 4 basics (speaking, listening, reading and writing) to communicate with short and simple messages there is no way to stop, learning French becomes a challenge and from being a language beginner you become a French speaker in the process of training and then a proficient French speaker. 

Planeta Immiland offers the French Course 1, DÉBUTANT (A1)which leads you to communicate in everyday situations. The course includes:

• 96 hours
• 2 levels
• 3 examinations

See course DÉBUTANT (A1). The student graduates with a level CLB 1 and 2 (A1), achieving establishing the linguistic basis to immigrate to Canada in the French-speaking category.

Reach the second level and continue the study of French

When you have reached this level (A2), you can compose messages and fill out forms with more detail and clarity. However, it is too low a level to compete in Express Entry (this system chooses those who have a high score). Therefore, it is necessary to continue studying in the ÉLÉMENTAIRE (A2)The immigration benefits will be worth it. The course includes:

• 96 hours
• 2 levels
• 3 examinations 

See course ÉLÉMENTAIRE (A2). The student graduates with a level CLB 3 and 4 (A2), being able to converse on familiar topics.

Approach Express Entry 4 months later

After you have put in the time and effort to learn to speak everyday French, you want to start seeing the benefits of the language to immigrate to Canada through Express Entry, and you will, but as we have mentioned before, the Express Entry system is very demanding. Express Entry system is very demanding and to compete you have to be very well prepared. This means that the French mode in your life must remain activated. The next course (CLB 5 and 6) (B1) will lead you to present arguments and actively participate in discussions and debates, for example, you can already explain to the immigration officer why you want to live in Canada.

We always recommend our clients and users to trust in themselves and in the process because we know that step by step you make progress and manage to speak French at an intermediate level, one quite useful to communicate fluently and naturally. Planeta Immiland offers the Course 3 PRÉ INTERMÉDIAIRE (B1) as follows:

• 112 hours
• 2 levels
• 4 examinations

See course PRE INTERMÉDIAIRE (B1). The student graduates with a level CLB 5 and 6 (B1), being able to converse fluently in everyday situations, at work, at school and in leisure time.

With intermediate French you can immigrate to Canada

So far there has been a great deal of preparation work and the conditions are in place to get the language at an intermediate level, this is the minimum required by the IRCC to start the immigration process through Express Entry. 

Planeta Immiland has designed Course 4 INTERMÉDIAIRE (B2), which teaches you to handle conversations on complex topics. If you have advanced English and intermediate French, you are eligible for Express Entry as a skilled worker, for example. Read this article Traveling to Canada by Express Entry: A Guide for French-speaking Skilled Workers.

However, remember that in the French Proficiency category you will be competing with other French speakers, so do NOT settle for an intermediate level. Seek excellence and the help of a professional who can guide you through the language training and visa process. People who achieve an advanced level of French not only enjoy the beauty of the language, but are also 100% proficient in this language, open doors to greater job opportunities and better pay. Businesses in Canada actively seek out French speakers, as this allows them to expand their reach and operate in a wider market.

See course INTERMÉDIAIRE (B2).

Up to this point I will share the training levels of our language academy for immigration purposes to Canada, but not before recommending you to enjoy the learning process. A new language needs the right conditions to be assimilated, if you decided to learn French or improve what you already know, then put all your senses in "French mode". Study every day for at least 3 hours; after several months, if you are persistent and perseverant, you will see the results.
