With over 3 million temporary residents and 395,000 permanent resident spots available this year, interest in securing long-term status in Canada continues to rise. To improve their chances, many newcomers are turning to French language learning, which can increase Express Entry scores and enhance immigration applications.
International students and skilled workers are increasingly investing in French through language apps, private tutors, and college programs. Immigration consultants recommend it as a strategic advantage—especially for those in fields like IT where permanent residency pathways may be more limited.
Language programs across Ontario are seeing rising demand, reflecting both the desire to improve immigration prospects and a growing curiosity about Canada’s official languages. Experts emphasize that while learning French can be a major asset, it should be part of a broader, well-informed strategy, as immigration requirements continue to change.
