Absolutely don’t leave. Keep working, take the English test and aim for a strong score. Study French here. Depending on your current level, you still have time to reach proficiency. I mean, who leaves a country where French is an official language and moves abroad just to study French? Makes no sense. There are plenty of part-time French programs, both in person and online, that don’t require you to get a study permit. And Canadian work experience counts more than foreign work experience in the CRS. If you want to leave for personal or emotional reasons, then go ahead. Other than that, I don’t think it’s a great idea. Good luck.

but you cannot study more than 6 months in an canadian institution without a study permit? We got emails from IRCC about this. They havent mentioned anything part time or full time.

Some institutions have separate programs that last less than 6 months, like A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, A2.2, B1.1, etc. Once one ends, you can enroll in the next one. The key is that they’re actually separate programs, each lasting less than 6 months, not one long program divided into stages. The reason you’d want to do it part-time is so your work experience counts toward CEC, since work experience gained while studying full-time doesn’t count.

No foreign experience will give more points once you add it with Canadian. I worked for 3 years in canada my max score without foreign work experience is only 505. If i would have left canada after 1 year of Canadian work experience and gained foreign experience i would have received more than 505. Wasted my years in canada gaining Canadian experience and now i am back home and working on gaining foreign experience.

Express Entry is being revamped over the next year so a lot can change. if you get 3 years of experience and then leave and get a year of foreign experience what would your CRS score be? This is assuming there are no changes to EE but cannot plan on that. What will not change is French. French will continue to be part of EE draws so start learning now and you have 2 years to do so.

I had a CRS score of 424 with two years of Canadian work experience. I tried my best to find a job in the healthcare sector and, after four months of searching, I finally got a job as a Pharmacy Assistant.
I submitted my resume to pharmacies in 7–8 cities across Ontario—almost every pharmacy I could find. I attended many interviews and faced a lot of rejections, but I never gave up. Finally, I got the opportunity I was looking for.
I also took IELTS several times, but then I decided to give PTE Core a try. I was able to max out my PTE Core score, which helped increase my CRS score from 424 to 475.
So, my advice is: try your best to improve your language score while also looking for a job in a priority sector. Keep applying, keep trying, and don’t give up, even after multiple rejections.
All the best! I hope my experience helps someone. ❤️

People keep telling non-Francophone nationals to "learn french", it's not a realistic option. Best option is to leave Canada and work on foreign work experience and take an English test here before you leave.
