Will no French knowledge be a reason for denial if have minimum points otherwise

[321]

I've taken the Quebec test on line and supposedly qualify without the knowledge of French, or so the website says.  If I submit the application and indicate that I do not know French at all could that be a reason for denial  of the application by Quebec, even though I have enough points to qualify otherwise? 

OR: 

Should I take some French lessons (at least 1/2 year to 1 year of study) get a certification, and then submit the application?

Thank you.

Yes.

Thanks, Nano.  I assume that's a "yes" to both questions?

zero French means no CSQ.

Sorry about the confusing ans.
Read only the 1st question.

French Knowledge is must for QSW as wingsofmaybe7777 quoted.

OK, thank you both.

I took French in college, but it's all dead now, so I'll have to take some lessons.  Looks like there are 12 different levels of knowledge.  Is there a minimum level I have to get to to be able to "pass"?

Thank you
