Just try to find out what is the minimum requirement in french.   From the time of application to the interview you can learn french until upper begginners level which is just  below intermidiate level.

Let me tell you,  it is better if you start learning french not because it is requirement for  immigration but because it will be easier for you to integrate to society and eventually get a job.


If you have taken french exam that might speed up process if not then you might have to undergo an interview.
