Why French matters for Express Entry
With NCLC 7 in all four French skills, you become eligible for French-language Express Entry draws, which often have much lower CRS cut-offs than general draws, and you earn a bonus of 25 to 50 CRS points. For many candidates, that is the fastest route to permanent residence.
