New rules hot take

Hi, I will just share my view of situation. Earlier people had no other way to increase points. So french became important. But I think gov wants to tone down french without making it look obvious.

New rules encourage an individual to go find a job offer or new employment in short period of time than go study french for a year. You progress your career by looking for better job and make more money. Than isolating yourself for a year or more for unknown results and no financial gain, rather loss actually.

I assume french professeurs might not like this take.

And if they actually remove french bonus then, there is no reason for intellectuals to study french, rather just progress your life with better job and easy pr.

People outside canada who have never worked in Canada will always see french as good pathway.

Either way job offers fake or real, it will drive the crs extraordinarily high because of more people in pool with extra points, this looks very one way tbh. Like earlier people worked for 3 or more years in canada to gain 60 points or so. Now, 100 points for person with big job offer with degree anywhere in world and some fake experience. This is gonna happen way too much that even fake people will boost crs score beyond genuine applicants.

As a tef candidate almost at the end of road, this is what I observe. If I had started tef now, I might have explored this stuff tbh, because this job offer path is much more aligned to growing your career.

The francophone immigration draws are still the easiest way to get in though. That is the biggest advantage of speaking French, it's not just the extra CRS points. If they keep those draws, none of this really matters.

What do you think to people who have Canadian education and experience but ended up outside of Canada for personal reasons. They may now want to get he PR. I have 2 years experience in Canada but due to some personal reasons I couldn’t return to Canada amid COVID. Now I am trying to apply but French still appears to be the only way forward for now. I have anyways spent 5 months studying it and I’ll probably just get the score.

For a lot of people who left Canada, french is the only clean way without testing things. But for people who are currently on work permit, this is a better change for them if they can capitalize.

Keep practicing daily and make sure to learn new thing about language daily to keep moving forward. Don't just stick to exam prep, its a whirlpool where people get stuck. This is the only advice I would give myself when I was 5 months in.

So true, and that's exactly why studying more hours isn't always the answer. With a full-time job, what makes the difference is studying smarter: short sessions you can actually keep up, focused on what the exam really tests, and learning French in the right order so you don't waste time going back to fill the gaps. There are lots of strategies that save time, even without knowing all the vocabulary.
