Why should one even consider learning French? Let’s see them, one by one. French has always an important place in the world of business. Being the official language of The United Nations, The European Union, UNESCO, NATO, The International Olympic Committee, The International Red Cross and international courts, French plays a major role in the international arena. Above all, French is the official language of not only France, but also 29 other countries including Canada, Belgium, Switzerland and many more.
Express Entry (EE) is an online immigration application system. Citizenship and Immigration of Canada use the Express Entry (EE) system to manage applicants who want to settle in Canada permanently and take part in their economy.
It allows people to submit a profile and be considered as a skilled immigrant. Candidates with the highest rankings are invited to apply for permanent residency.
In the Express Entry Program of Canadian Immigration, the French Language has a vital role to play. Since Canada has two official languages viz: English and French, Citizenship and Immigration of Canada require strong communication skills either in English or in French. There are two exams available to measure the language proficiency of an aspiring Canadian Immigration applicant. They are IELTS & TEF Canada. IELTS measures one’s competency in the English language whereas TEF Canada measures the competency in the French language. The competition for English language speakers are always high in India and is continuously increasing. This opens the opportunity for the French speakers to win over English speakers. Since French speakers in India are mostly bilingual whereas English speakers remain monoglots.
This is possible only through the TEF Canada Exam. Even though there are more aspirants who would want to learn French and to immigrate to Canada, there is no training facility available in the country for TEF Canada. Hence, HERE AND NOW has designed a tailor-made program to take-up the TEF Exam.
