French: immigrants and locals
While immigrants work hard to learn French, native speakers of French who want to become teachers – in a province short of teachers – are blocked because they can’t pass the French test.

I dunno, those sample test questions seem like they shouldn’t be too hard for French-language education students.

Sounds like the pitch for a cynical Netflix comedy.

Some of the sample questions do require careful thinking and close attention, but having to get 7 out of 10 right answers doesn’t seem to be an unreasonable expectation for a teacher of French. Perhaps one problem is that the difference between the correct and incorrect form is not always perceptible when the sentence is spoken, and we tend to rely more than we used to on how things sound in order to decide if something is off.
