Basic French and TEF question, please help

[robertin75]

Hello:

Has anyone of you that have stated that your French level is basic (2 points) had the TEF test requested by canadian the immigration officer after you submit application?

I'm trying to find out if they will ask you to take the TEF if you only have a basic level of French.

Thanks,
Roberto

Hi all,

My application status:
Sent application to Sydney NS: 26th April 2009
Received AOR/recommendation from Sydney: 02 June 2009

Now i am facing great trouble. I can't send full application to islamabad since i have not taken IELTS and French exams yet and on my inquiry French Alliance told me that it would take a year to pass Basic french level 1 to 3 and later needed to appear in TEF exam too. I have only 120 days and it seems to me better if i withdrawl my case and apply again.

Any sugguestions? I am afraid in near future they would change 38 occupations. And without French i can't qualify for 67 points. What should i do now? How long would it take to get my fees back? and how to say to them return my fees? I have sent them email but they are not replying.

I also have been to 2 months cource from Alliance francaice.............But non can clear tef with only 2 month sbasic cource....For these 2 marks normally immigration officers give points if that advantages the applicant......... But not a Guarantee...I know many people who got marks against that cource but still no gurantee ...all depends up to the mood of IO. but to appear for tef is not possible with that limited learning of 2 months.

See From Nova Scotia Sydney my case has been approved recently and i have only 120 days to submit full application.

Now If i take two months basic french class from French Alliance and get certificate would that certificate be enough to send with IELTS result to Islamabad along with my full permanent residence application?

Is there any chance that CIC Islamabad would ask me TEF exam later?

I dont want to withdrawl my case. What should i do now?

If you don't submit the TEF with the exam, there is a 99% chance you will be given a 0 for french.  The Ministerial list and the 120 day time line was to speed up applications.  You get one shot, you include all the supporting the documents and CHC will make the decision based on the information received.  They are not going to come back and ask for a TEF.
