Why now
Since January 2026, B1 is no longer enough for citizenship
Naturalisation now requires B2 French in speaking and in writing, and the TCF IRN was redesigned to test it. Many people who were "ready" last year discovered they are now one level short, and most do not know exactly where the gap is.
