The Pathway method

You always know the next step.

One pathway connects level, availability, lessons, progress and the exam. No endless modules or confusing priorities.

Measure

We assess comprehension and expression, spoken and written, alongside your available time.

Plan

We build your calendar backwards from the exam date.

Practise

You work in private lessons and continue between sessions with targeted tasks.

Demonstrate

Two mock exams check whether all four skills are ready for TEF.

The current context

French can open a different route, not just add points.

French remains underused in Canada and can differentiate your profile: in 2025, 29,630 French-speaking permanent residents were admitted outside Quebec (8.9%). In Express Entry it can also add points and enable selection in Francophone-category rounds. Cut-offs change from round to round: we show dated data and a personal scenario, never an immigration promise.

How should you read these figures?

We compare the latest Canadian Experience Class round and the latest French-language proficiency round available in IRCC data. They are different selection contexts and do not guarantee a future invitation.

Important questions

The essentials, without turning the page into a manual.

For more detail, see our guides to TEF Canada and NCLC 7.

How do I know which plan I need?

The initial assessment measures your level, availability and target date. We then recommend 2, 4 or 6 hours per week. You do not have to choose alone.

Are lessons individual?

Yes. The main lessons are private and live. Additional workshops may bring learners together for practice.

Does Pathway guarantee permanent residence?

No. Pathway is a language institute. Our commitment covers preparation and the NCLC 7 language result under the programme conditions, not an invitation or IRCC decision.

Can I pay month to month?

Yes. Payment is monthly, with no commitment and no requirement to pay the full programme cost in advance.
