There is something I don't understand about that "French Ontario stream“...Hi,
Where did you get the information about needing to have CLB 9 in French and that it needs to be first language?
Here is the link to the requirements from the Ontario province French-Speaking stream:
https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontarios-express-entry-french-speaking-skilled-worker-stream
3. Language
You must be able to understand, read, write and speak French at a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 7 or higher.
You must also be able to understand, read, write and speak English at CLB level 6 or higher.
To prove that you have the mandatory language skills, you must take an approved French and English language test before you submit your application to this stream.
I fulfill all the requirements... And therefore have over 520 points in the crs score. It costs more and last longer... Why should anyone choose that stream instead of fsw?
