Another IELTS attempt usually adds only a few points. French adds two things at once: extra points, and a separate set of draws to compete in.

Batches that fit work
Morning, evening and weekend slots, about 4–5 hours a week.
How long NCLC 7 really takes
NCLC 7 sits around B2. Typical ranges for working adults at 4–5 hours a week, including exam prep:
about 6 months
shorter: we estimate it in your demo
often mainly exam prep
Intensive batches compress it. Anyone promising B2 in eight weeks from scratch is selling you something. You'll get your own estimate in the demo class.

Questions people ask first
How many CRS points does French actually add?
With NCLC 7 or higher in all four French skills, IRCC adds 50 points if your English test is CLB 5 or higher in all four skills, or 25 points if it isn't (or you have no English test). That's on top of any second-language points. NCLC 7 also makes you eligible for French-language category draws, which have closed far below general draws (as of July 2026).
I have zero French. Is this realistic?
Yes. Most of our French students start at absolute zero. A1 assumes no French, and instructions are in English until you don't need them.
How long will it take me to reach NCLC 7?
From zero, most working adults need about 6 months at 4–5 hours a week, including exam prep. With some French already, it's shorter. You'll get your own estimate in the demo class.
I work full-time. Can I fit this in?
That's who the batches are built for: morning, evening and weekend slots, about 4–5 hours a week. Every class is recorded, so a late shift doesn't cost you a lesson.
TEF Canada or TCF Canada?
Both are accepted for Express Entry. The better choice depends on your deadline and the test dates available to you. We'll recommend one in your demo class. DELF is a lifetime certificate but is not the exam for Express Entry.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on your starting level and whether you choose group or one-to-one classes. Ask at the end of your demo class, or WhatsApp us for current prices.
Do you file immigration applications?
Yes, for Canada PR. Our founder, Sanjita, is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (licence R710792; you can check it on the CICC public register) and can help you file your application; fees are shared on request. PrepEve also teaches French and prepares you for the exam. CRS rules and draw cutoffs are set by IRCC and change often, so always check the official IRCC website. See Canada PR application help.
