May I ask starting from when did you start to understand their talks? Many thanks!
FSW WORLDWIDE
- Thread starter js555
- Start date
I would say on my 10th month and upwards. By the 15th, I was understanding at least 80% of the conversation.
To be clear, you could understand individual words or sentences much much earlier, but you would struggle to understand the whole picture.
So, by the 10th I was able to comprehend the topic, some more details, different synonyms of words I already knew, etc. Like the word "Oui", which most of the times in conversations is "Ouais", and so on.
You should also watch TV shows like "American dad" or the "Simson's". It is a good way to relax and you can understand most of the narrative from the pictures so you are not lost in too complicated stories.
Canadian Supreme Court updates process for making a reasonable decision on immigration applications
Canadian government lays out parameters and procedures to ensure IRCC officers make fair and reasonable decisions.

If the backlog is 2.7 million right now, I won't be surprised if it increased to 5 million in the coming months due to this decision by the Supreme Court. They will likely approve faster the applications that they deem trustworthy/verifiable and probably let others rot without a decision.

How badly do you want it? If you can get a job via lmia, that's the best. Otherwise study permit is okay as well but it will cost.
And Canadian schools will milk you cos they know they can. Cheaper options are all diploma mills that will harm your employment chances than help
If your fiance is in Canada, you have a high chance of having your TRV refused since they'll believe your real intent is not to visit or study for to stay with your to be spouse until your own application is resolved
I received a TRV without issues while my wife was studying in Canada. It's possible.
Getting a TRV when your spouse is a PR is very difficult because the visa officer needs proof that you will return at the end of your stay. It's easy when your spouse is also a temporary resident in Canada.
Didn't you say you are doing a PhD, I highly doubt one would fake a PhD acceptance to enter country for other purposes. I mean if you did then good for you, that's some next level @dankboi shit.
Most TRVs refused are visitors or diploma students
Does that applies to PR applications as well? So they can basically hold off PR applications at whim if they don't "feel" they're genuine?
@Jasleen_t if you can try for French and claim extra 50 points your probability might be better if CRS goes to 540. Have you considered so?
I have started it just a few days back. It would take me a long long time to reach a B2 level to be able to increase my CRS. So, I believe not happeninh atleast this year.
Well let's hope it works out. IRCC is unpredictable & anything can happen.
