How much time is needed to get CLB 5 in TEF?

[monrealcanadians]

Hi,

I will lose 5 points next week because of my birthday. I maxed my IELTS and my current score is 474. Based on the last several draws (even excl. the latest CEC draws) I would be in the pool if not the COVID intervention. Going to 469 decreases my chances dramatically.

Considering:
- I can spend 1 hour a day
- I am an average person without special language abilities
- I can hire a tutor

How much time realistically would I need to study French from scratch to get CLB 5 in TEF and obtain at least 4 points back?

Thank you

You d lose more age points by then unless you really invest a lot of time. French isn't easy. Have you maxed out your english test?
