QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[Quebecon]

Hi,

I filed for citizenship after having lived in Montreal for 3 years. I filed in July 2020. My timeline is:

Date	Activity
1st week of July, 2020	sent application
10th July 2020	received application
5th November, 2020	AOR/Application filed
June 1, 2021	Background verification activity status updated Background verification Background verification status has been updated to Completed
July 13, 2021	Citizenship test activity status updated Citizenship test Citizenship test status has been updated to Completed
	Citizenship test and background verification have been completed. Language skills, physical presence and prohibitions are still in progress.

The website says "In Progress" since July 14, 2021.

I am currently living in Vancouver BC. Does anyone have any idea when my citizenship will come through?

Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated

what is processing time

 

[T0pubo]

Hi I'm in Canada with a new study permit, and CIC in Sydney seemed to start processing my unpaid application after PEQ-path CSQ (they emailed AOR-like email saying I need to pay for it). I think it's strange, because I have submitted an overriding application according to PEQ conditions. So I'm wondering if I paid again (I withdrew it before study permit application) could I be considered but at some point refused a PR visa because of my hypothetical conditions, meaning is the application fee worthless? FYI I'm studying at a grad school in BC (STEM field, for another graduate-direct method PNP left), and I was asked to pay by April 21.
I tried to ask for any ideas in the after-CSQ thread but there was only one reply which just pointed out my careless mistake...

What happened in your case?

FRENCH ONLINE PRACTICE TEST MATERIAL

Hello everyone,
Can anyone help me to find online free french practice material for A1 level

Also if there are any websites for beginners and A1 level french learning with (translations n pronunciations).

I urgently need this.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Regards

I’ve been in your exact “I need A1 practice now” situation. I was prepping for Québec paperwork while juggling a newborn at home, so I needed materials that were free, beginner-friendly, and didn’t waste time.

What worked for me at A1 was using one structured source + one practice source:

• I started with Duolingo (https://www.duolingo.com) just to get daily momentum and basic patterns (it’s great for consistency when you’re stressed). My problem was that it can feel like you’re progressing fast, but you’re not always hearing “real” French at exam speed.
• So I paired it with TV5MONDE Apprendre (https://apprendre.tv5monde.com) because it has graded listening videos, clear levels, and lots of free exercises (much closer to the type of comprehension you actually need).

For A1 practice tests / exercises, also check:

• RFI Savoirs – Le Français Facile (https://savoirs.rfi.fr/fr/apprendre-enseigner) (short clips + transcripts, good for daily listening)
• Bonjour de France (https://www.bonjourdefrance.com) (A1 grammar/vocab exercises)

And for the “translations + pronunciation” part you asked about: I kept a simple tool in my routine so I could see and repeat correctly without overthinking. I used Avatalks (https://avatalks.com) because you can do quick sessions that combine listening/reading/writing/speaking, and it helped me stop guessing sounds at the A1 stage (especially when I didn’t have time to hunt for audio).





If you tell me whether you’re aiming for TEF/TCF/TEFAQ later, I can point you to a couple of free practice sets that match that format too.
