The best institution to learn french in a most natural way. My tutor was Anne, she is the best. Very friendly, always there for us to help to improve a lot. I really had lot of fun in her class as well.

One year to CLB 7, step by step
Two phases, both fully online, both scheduled on Saskatchewan time. Most students reach CLB 5, enough for Francophone Mobility, within six to nine months, then CLB 7 for Express Entry by the twelve-month mark.
Months 1–6
Grow your French
Levels 1 through 6, from zero to conversational French
Months 7–12
Train for the exam
Full-time focus on TEF and TCF format
Months 1–3
Speaking from week one
Grammar basics, everyday vocabulary, and your first real conversations in French, guided the whole way by your teacher.
Months 4–6
Reaching B1
You add the past and future tenses, hold longer exchanges, and finish with a B1 that works in real conversation.
CLB 5 inside six to nine months, the level Francophone Mobility asks forMonths 7–9
Exam training starts
Now it's drills built around the real exam format: timed sections, exam strategy, the specific skills TEF and TCF actually score.
Months 10–12
Ready for test day: CLB 7
Full mock exams, plus focused writing and speaking practice, until you're ready to book your TEF or TCF with confidence.
CLB 7 by month twelve, the number Express Entry rewards most+50
Points most candidates leave unclaimed
Adding French to your Express Entry profile can add up to 50 CRS points, and IRCC also holds draws only for French speakers. Pair that with a SINP nomination and Saskatchewan candidates have two separate ways to move up the list.

In Saskatchewan, French gives you three real advantages
A provincial program worth applying to, a small but real community to practise in, and a list of jobs that stay out of reach without it.
SINP
SINP: a nomination within reach
SINP already ranks among Canada's easier provincial programs to qualify for, and it doesn't need a French-specific stream for French to help you: French adds up to 50 CRS points on the federal side, plus a real edge through the Express Entry draws IRCC holds only for French speakers. Stack a SINP nomination with strong French and your file moves on two fronts at once.
Fransaskois
Smaller, but a real French community
Saskatoon's French-speaking community, known as the Fransaskois, is smaller than in Canada's biggest francophone hubs, but it is genuinely active. École canadienne-française teaches in French from the early grades to the end of high school, and the Fransaskois community association (ACF) has an office in the city at Rendez-vous francophone. It won't immerse you the way a major francophone city can, but it gives the French you're learning somewhere real to be used outside class.
Bilingual roles
Roles that stay closed without French
Healthcare, education and federal service postings in Saskatchewan regularly list French as an asset, and some make it a real requirement. Those roles are open to bilingual applicants only. Building a working level of French widens the list of jobs you can even apply for, PR aside.

Salut! I found French quite difficult, and I knew almost nothing about it. But our teacher are always patient with us and encourage us to learn little by little. Our teacher remind us that learning French is a process, and it takes time, practice, and patience. I have gone from knowing almost nothing to knowing something. I know that I still have a lot to learn, but I am motivated to continue and improve everyday. Merci beaucoup Anne, pour ta patience, ton soutien et tes encouragements. Je suis vraiment heureux d’ avoir appris le francais avec toi:-)

I’m loving the course, it’s very well paced - not too fast, not too slow - and the material is really good. My teacher, Camille, is amazing and I’m sure so are the others.

This meet and greet convinced me to take a 6 month course! Every one is very accommodating and answered all my questions about learning French for immigration purposes 😊 I can’t wait to get started 🥳
Bonjour du pont Broadway !Live from RiversdaleCLB 7, Land of Living SkiesLive, twice a week, on Saskatchewan time
Every Express Entry candidate is judged on the same national point grid, and French is the edge most Saskatchewan applicants leave on the table. Here is how our program actually runs.
Live, on Zoom, weekday evenings
Small groups meet live after work, and every student speaks in every class. Your teacher corrects you in the moment, the way real conversations actually improve.
The same native teachers as every other city
Every city we teach in shares the same 27 native teachers, trained in France and Québec, running one identical program. Same material, same standard, same people leading the class.
What if the weather or a shift keeps you home?
A prairie storm doesn't touch an online class, so nothing gets cancelled for weather. If you do have to skip an evening, your program's online course carries pre-recorded lessons covering that same material, ready whenever you are.
The TEF or TCF from Saskatoon, when you are ready
You sit the exam near the end of your program. Saskatoon has no TEF centre, so the TEF is in Regina; the TCF runs in Regina or Saskatoon:
- La Cité universitaire francophone, University of ReginaUniversity of Regina campus, ReginaTEF Canada
- Collège MathieuRegina or SaskatoonTCF Canada
- Alliance Française d'Edmonton11812 121 St NW, EdmontonTEF CanadaTCF Canada
One classroom, every corner of Saskatoon
No matter which side of Saskatoon you live on, class is one laptop away: evenings, Saskatchewan time, with no drive across the city required.

For most people building a PR file through Saskatchewan, yes. SINP already ranks among the more reachable provincial programs, and French adds a real boost on the federal side too: up to 50 CRS points, plus the Express Entry draws IRCC holds only for French speakers. A SINP nomination and solid French push your application forward from two directions at once.
En avant !
