No — a score can be worked on. Language is the number one lever: moving from CLB 7 to CLB 9 (the Canadian Language Benchmarks) can be worth more than 90 points on the CRS, the Comprehensive Ranking System. That is exactly what our TCF/TEF preparation courses are for (immigration-voyages.com/en/services.html#prepa), and our online Prépa TCF, whose topics come up again at the exam: working through all of them maximises your chances on test day (immigration-voyages.com/en/prepa-tcf.html). On top of that come the French-language category, having a second credential assessed, or a provincial nomination. Start by measuring: the eligibility test (immigration-voyages.com/en/admissibilite.html) and the CRS calculator (immigration-voyages.com/en/admissibilite.html#crs), both free.
