I learnt in 6 months with intensive study, and wrote TEF in the 7th month.

Is it easy to learn French?

Is it easy to learn French?

no, It is not especially if you are learning to write an exam and that too within a short time. It's about the most challenging endeavor I had to undertake.
I had to do it because I had no alternative. I had maxed out my English score and had no hope of pnp.
But was it worth it? Yes I got to increase my score to 470(still pushing to increase further with spouse eca and spouse's retaking of ielts).
And I am bilingual now. I can converse comfortably (though not like a native) in french

Depends on case by case basis. No standard answer. I got mine in 3 months. There are people still waiting after one year. Depends on how easy your credentials like job, education etc are to verify.

thanks for information.

Has anyone here from India done a 1 year PG diploma course in Canada? What is approx. tution fees and other expenses likely to be for 1 year? Is it worth it doing a 1 year PG diploma course so as to increase chances to achieve PR?
