Bonus CRS points

For bilingual FR+EN

50 points isn't abstract. It's the difference between
getting your PR or waiting another year.

You know French can change your score.

But every path seems blocked.

Every prep resource is in French

You're an English speaker trying to learn - but the materials assume you already know French. It's like teaching someone to swim by throwing them in the ocean.

You can't practice speaking alone

Speaking and writing are half your score. But getting real feedback means paying a tutor $30+/hour. That's $900/month for daily practice.

You don't know if you're ready

Mock tests online don't match real exam conditions. You'll walk in guessing whether your score will be high enough. That uncertainty is torture.

Every month you wait costs you points

CRS drops as you age. Work permits expire. The next Express Entry draw won't wait for you. Your competitors are studying right now.

What if there was a better way?

TCF vs TEF Canada

Not sure which test to take?

PassFrench covers both. Here's a quick comparison.

Important: TEF has a "B2 inferior" subcategory that gives zero CRS points. TCF does not have this trap. Most English speakers find TCF more predictable.

Built From Experience

"I passed TCF Canada on my first try."

As an English speaker, I scored B2+ after 6 months of self-study. The hardest part wasn't learning French. It was finding resources that didn't assume I already spoke it.

Every platform was in French. Tutors cost $30+/hour. There was no way to practice speaking with real feedback. No structured plan. No clear path from zero to B2.

So I built what I wish existed.

TEF has a 'B2 inferior' subcategory that gives zero immigration points, even though you technically scored B2. TCF does not have this distinction — any B2 on TCF gives full CRS points. This is one reason many English speakers prefer TCF.
