Securing your future in Alberta often requires proof of French proficiency. The TEF Canada is recognized by the IRCC for PR applications and Express Entry. Berlitz Edmonton provides a specialized, 8-month roadmap designed specifically for complete beginners. We move you from Level 1 foundations to exam-ready strategies (Levels 7-8) using a fixed, 7.5-hour weekly schedule that guarantees consistency and results.
Why Edmonton Newcomers Choose This Program
Self-study is often the reason immigration files stall. In Edmonton’s fast-paced environment, you need a program that holds you accountable.
- Fixed Group Accountability: You learn in a small cohort (max 6) of fellow Edmontonians and newcomers. Fixed schedules mean you show up, build skills, and stay on track for your IRCC deadlines.
- The 8-Month Roadmap: We don't just "teach the test." We build your French foundation (Levels 1-6) before diving into intensive TEF strategies (Levels 7-8).
- Expert IRCC Alignment: Our instructors understand the specific NCLC/CLB levels you need to maximize your CRS points.
The Edmonton "No-Commute" Schedule
Save time on the Whitemud or Anthony Henday. Our 100% online format allows you to join live, instructor-led sessions from your home in Sherwood Park, St. Albert, or Windermere.
Important: To ensure your group progresses together, you must commit to all three days (Wednesday, Friday, AND Saturday).
