hello guys !
I've completed DELF A1 exam scoring 80% marks.When I Proced my application for Quebec , they gave me 2 points on frence langugae but I couldn't success in quebec. Now I'm planning to process for fedral goverment. and i'm going to take DELF A2 exam in coming jan 2009. I know fedral goverment wants TEF exam score but it is costly so I decide to take DELF A2 . Does it gives any number in fedreal processing.
If you have Delf score then cic will take this as a supporting documents ,it depends upon IO ,how much points they will give for your delf.One of my friend claim 2 points for french by providing DELF A1 and A2.but IO will not give you more than 2 points if u have upto DELF A2 score(may be 0 or 1 or 2).But if you have TEF score nobody would cut your points whatever u claim according to score.
According to cic website:
Proof of your language abilities
If you have some proficiency in both English and French, decide which language you are more comfortable using. This is your first official language. The other is your second official language.
If you claim to have language abilities on your application, you must provide conclusive proof of your level of proficiency. There are two ways to do this. You can:
take a language test or
provide other written proof of your abilities. We strongly recommend that you take a language test from an approved organization. You will find a link to a list of approved English language testing organizations under the Related Links section at the bottom of this page. You will also find a link to additional information on language testing.
bonne chance!!
