Online French Classes For Canada PR – Where Should I Start?

I’ve been thinking about learning French to improve my options for Canadian immigration, but I’m not sure which course would be the right starting point.

While researching online French classes, I came across Learn French With Avani. I’m comparing different learning options and would love to hear from anyone who has taken online French lessons, especially those preparing for TEF Canada.

Is it better to start with general French classes and build a strong foundation first, or join a course focused on exam preparation? Also, how much time should a beginner realistically set aside for studying each week?

Would appreciate any advice from people who have been through this process!
