How to Reach B2 in French to Boost Your Chances of Immigrating to Canada
French proficiency can significantly improve your chances of immigrating to Canada, especially if you are applying under programs like Express Entry (Francophone bonus points), the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP), or provincial nominee programs (PNPs) targeting French speakers. Achieving a B2 level in French can make you eligible for additional points in Canada’s immigration system and open doors to unique pathways for Francophones. But how long does it take to reach B2, and what’s the best way to get there?

Why Aim for a B2 Level in French?
In Canada’s immigration system, language proficiency is measured using the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB). A B2 level in French roughly corresponds to CLB 7, which can give you:

Extra CRS points in Express Entry (up to 50 points for strong French skills)

Eligibility for Francophone immigration streams, such as Ontario’s French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream

More job opportunities in bilingual or Francophone regions (especially in provinces like Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick)

Better integration and community support when settling in Canada

How Long Does It Take to Reach B2 in French?
Studies suggest that reaching B2 in French requires 600–750 hours of study. If you practice 1–2 hours per day, you could achieve B2 in 6–12 months. However, using only Duolingo might take longer, as the app is primarily designed for vocabulary and basic grammar.

To speed up the process, use a structured approach combining grammar, speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
