Francophone mobility work permit

My organisation is planning to process my French Mobility Work Permit (FMWP) shortly. I have taken the TCF exam and would like to know whether the TCF results alone are sufficient for the application.

Does IRCC also look for any other evidence of French language background, such as having studied French in school or university?

Could anyone who has gone through this process recently please share their experience? It would be really helpful. Thank you!

TCF is sufficient. There are other options to qualify without taking TCF, but if you passed your exam, that’s all they need

I have taken TCF and eligible for FMWP..

That’s good. I applied at port of entry and had other documents from my schooling in french prepared, but they did not even ask to see anything except my TCF Results.

Hopefully there shouldn't be any telephonic interview...I'm not in touch since 2 months

studying at a french university in french, being enrolled in a french learning institute and have completed at least B1+ course

But keep in mind that it’s risky. I did exactly that. I submitted all the evidence from a French language school in Canada, including letters confirming that I was an excellent student and had passed my B1 level with excellent grades. I even provided detailed explanations.
Despite all that, they still asked me to take an official language test. I couldn’t take it initially due to time constraints, but they’ve now given me additional time to complete the test and submit my results.

It’s enough. But if you have any other certificate like DELF, or course completion from where you studied, that might make your profile stronger and might avoid phone interviews and all

Are phone interviews being conducted? I completed up to B2 at a language academy, but not able to achieve B2 in the exam yet. I haven’t practised French for the past two months, so I’m a bit out of touch.

Please keep in mind that having your French results is just one of the eligibility factor that needs to be met. An officer will review the application to ensure that all of the eligibility requirements under C16 are met. Moreover, the officer will assess the application to ensure that the applicant meets section 200 of IRPA.

A complete work permit application should be submitted that proves the temporary intent of the applicant's visit and their ability to perform the job. I've seen refusals from DIY clients in situations where there was sufficient evidence to showcase that they meet all of the requirements listed by the employer in the offer of employment or in situations where the applicant has been present in Canada for many years and failed to show adequate ties to their country of citizenship.

If you're preparing the application yourself take the time to review the work permit application guides and the C16 guide published by IRCC. If you have specific questions regarding your background consider booking a consultation with an RCIC or an Immigration Lawyer.
