About FrenchPunjabi

FrenchPunjabi is a free resource for Punjabi speakers learning French — whether to earn points toward Canadian permanent residency, extend a work permit, or simply learn a beautiful language. Every concept is explained plainly in Punjabi, with clear French examples.

Why this site exists

Most French courses teach through English, which adds a second barrier for Punjabi speakers. French is also one of the highest-leverage skills for Canadian immigration — reaching CLB 7 can add up to 50 CRS points, and French category-based Express Entry draws often have far lower cutoffs than general rounds. Yet almost no one teaches French in Punjabi, for free. This site fills that gap.

Who writes the lessons

Lessons are written and reviewed by Puneet Kumar — a Toronto-based learner who navigated the Canadian immigration system firsthand and studied French toward the TEF Canada and TCF Canada exams. Learning French as a Punjabi speaker, entirely through English-language courses, is what made the gap obvious: the grammar was hard enough without a second language in the way. Every lesson here is the explanation I wish I'd had, written in the language I actually think in.

This is not an auto-generated content mill. Each lesson is written by hand, explained in Punjabi with real French examples, and dated so you can see exactly when it was last reviewed.

How these lessons are made

• French content is checked against the exam standard. Vocabulary, conjugations and pronunciation are cross-checked so a learner isn't taught something that would cost marks in a real TEF or TCF sitting. Material that hasn't been verified yet is held back rather than published unreviewed.
• Immigration facts come from official IRCC pages, not from memory or forums. Where a rule can change — CRS points, CLB thresholds, draw cutoffs — the lesson says as of when it was accurate and points you to the government source to confirm.
• Every lesson carries a last-updated date. Language requirements and exam formats change, and stale advice is worse than none, so dates are visible on each page.

A note on accuracy

FrenchPunjabi is educational content only. It is not affiliated with IRCC or any government body, and nothing here is immigration or legal advice. Always confirm current requirements on official government sources before making decisions.
