# Learning Beam French

> Learning Beam French is a French-language training program that prepares Canadian immigration candidates to reach CLB 7 (NCLC 7) on TEF Canada / TCF Canada, so they qualify for the French-language Express Entry category and earn the bilingual CRS bonus (up to +50 points). Classes run in person in Brampton, Etobicoke, and Sudbury (Ontario, Canada) and live online across Canada. Learning Beam French is a dedicated program of Learning Beam Academy and covers French only — it is not the academy's other services.

## What we do

- Teach French for Canadian immigration, focused on reaching **CLB 7 / NCLC 7** across reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
- Prepare candidates specifically for **TEF Canada** and **TCF Canada**, the two French tests accepted by IRCC for Express Entry.
- Help candidates qualify for the **French-language Express Entry category**, whose category-based draws have run frequently (often roughly monthly) with CRS cut-offs typically well below general draws.
- Help candidates earn the **bilingual CRS bonus**: NCLC 7+ in French adds 25 CRS points, or 50 points when combined with CLB 5+ in English.

## The program ladder

1. **Foundations A1 (~CLB 4)** — beginner French: pronunciation, everyday vocabulary, present tense, survival conversation.
2. **Building Fluency A2–B1 (~CLB 5–6)** — past/future tenses, connected speech, listening stamina; the bridge toward CLB 7.
3. **CLB 7 Express Entry Prep (B2 / CLB 7)** — targeted TEF Canada / TCF Canada preparation to hit NCLC 7 in every section. This is the goal rung for Express Entry.
4. **Workplace French (B2–C1 / CLB 8+)** — professional modules (email, meetings, presentations, sector vocabulary) to sustain fluency beyond CLB 7.

Every learner is placed on the right rung after a free CLB-level assessment.

## Campuses and formats

- **Brampton, Ontario** — in-person classes.
- **Etobicoke, Ontario** — in-person classes.
- **Sudbury, Ontario** — in-person classes.
- **Online** — live, instructor-led classes for learners anywhere in Canada.

The curriculum, materials, and CLB 7 focus are the same across all formats.

## Key facts (kept accurate and non-exaggerated)

- CLB 7 (Canadian Language Benchmark 7) is called NCLC 7 for French. It is an intermediate-to-advanced level.
- The exact TEF/TCF section scores needed for CLB 7 are set by IRCC's official equivalency charts; targets are confirmed per candidate during the assessment.
- Time to reach CLB 7 depends on starting level and study time; there is no guaranteed timeline.
- French-category draw activity and cut-off patterns are described as trends, not guarantees; forward-looking statements about 2026 draws are trends only, not promises of specific IRCC results.
