I was told that rprf was to be paid while submitting the docs post ITA... i dint know you can do it later as well...
I had not paid RPRF. Hence I got an email asking for RPRF payment on 4 Feb. But no updates after that.
Hi Neelam,
Does your profile show an acknowledgment receipt for RPRF under 'Messages About Your Profile'?
In my profile where it lists out 'Messages About Your Profile,' the last update is, request letter for RPRF but after that, there is no update. Should I expect the payment receipt like AOR.
Yes, true, I agree that the arrogance of Parisian Frenchies stands in the way of a lot of people wanting to learn the language. But at the same time they are easily flattered that anyone has made more than a passing effort to learn their language. Given what you're saying, I suppose they have a double standard for people who (they believe) "ought" to speak French fluently, such as people from francophone countries like yourself.
In any case, thanks for the opportunity to talk about something other than PPR predictions!

Yeah I guess it depends on each one's experience and what language one originally speaks.
However, being exposed to both of them at a very early age, I personally found English to be a walk in the park.
No accents. No gender. No auxiliaries. No verb Groups! and come on... there are even rules and exceptions for words and verbs when borrowed from other language for god sake
You gotta say that for someone to fully master French, one either needs to have been regularly exposed to it early in life, or had deep integration with native speakers for a long time. I come from a country where English is very far from even being the 2nd language. But with basic speaking skills, I swear I've had friends pick it up through 4 years of college, Netflix binge-watching, and now speak it fluently! Movies and shows are how I picked up on English actually... Can't really do that with French, because you simple cannot "hear" the conjugation, or whether the word takes an "S" at the end.
After going to French school my whole life, I today sometimes still have to look up whether this or that verb takes an "S" at the end
I do agree with the idea that English is a dynamic language, and I believe that's exactly what makes it accessible to many tongues, because it's very international and open. French on the other hand will not accept a single rule unless it was approved by 'L'Académie Française", a self-proclaimed guardian of French authenticity.
But besides grammar, I really think English has a major advantage. Real-life usability and adaptability...
I mean English sure has its little grammar gimmicks here and there like any other language, but they are not that often respected and nobody will ever look at you in a weird way because you said "I wish I was faster' rather than "I wish I were faster". Go to Paris and say "J'aurais aimé été plus rapide"
English speakers are very tolerant to twisting some rules here and there to adapt old ways of saying things, and just talk how it makes sense the most. French... not really.
Just look at how they are intolerant to Quebec French when used in France. They look at them like they come straight from a freak show.
The way French people simply pretend to not understand you when you make a mistake, makes mastering the language even harder. I've had many friends struggle with it...
About homographs and homonymes, I guess they are just common to any latin-based language.
Hey guys,
I am trying to contact cic but everytime it goes to automatic answer ,we are unable to attend your call due to high volume of calls.
Contact No:- +16139444000
What should I do?

Same as mine but paid rprf 10th Feb... now they are still reviewing the proof of payment and doing my background and eligibility check since 1st March. But I saw somewhere that if you have multiple employers it takes about 2 months
That's entirely typical. Sometimes I've had to try 10 times before I was put in a queue to speak to a human! Click on the link in my signature on how to call and what options to select - I know it will save you a lot of time on each attempt doing it this way.
Anyone got a ghost update today monday? Or do we need to send the ghost busters to IRCC to chase out all the ghost updates...
Can people who are not married use the family sponsorship menu tree for calling IRCC?

Yes. It goes to the same representatives, but you don't have to input all the application data and listen to the response.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind going through the "correct" route if it didn't say "too busy to put you in the queue" 70% of the time.
