Frequently asked questions
I studied French at school. Does it help?
Yes, if you take TEF Canada or TCF Canada and reach NCLC 7 or higher. This can add up to 50 points.

Yes, through Express Entry or provincial programs. Working as a doctor or nurse in Canada also needs a separate professional licence, so we plan both together.

For English: IELTS General Training, CELPIP-General or PTE Core. For French: TEF Canada or TCF Canada. Results are valid for two years.
