QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[sanity]

Please can you help as I am confused with the different views on the test I should take to prove french language learning ?

1. Does CIC accept DELF and TEF certificates? as I have read posts from the forum that TEF is mostly advised due to fixed marking grades unlike DELF which is provided points as decided by the case officer ?
2. As the testing is done for Listening, reading, writing, speaking - do we have to score a certain minimum for each section as I also saw that we only have to sit for listening and speaking ? If yes, can we ignore the remaining two i.e writing and reading ?

Thanks very much

1. Does CIC accept DELF and TEF certificates?( for Federal then only TEF and for Quebec then both) as I have read posts from the forum that TEF is mostly advised due to fixed marking grades unlike DELF which is provided points as decided by the case officer ?

for federal, each module points are to be counted and for Quebec, Only listening and speaking. But please note that if you appear for delf exam then there is a pass/ fail criteria. To pass this exam you need 50 out of 100. Each module has 25 maximum marks. So 25X4=100. In delf you can't appear for only 2 modules)
Thanks very much

[blue] @ sanity,

As rightly said by francaise, for DELF, you must clear all sections with minium 5/25 marks and with overall passing score of 50/100 marks. This is not the situation with TEF.

Also in TEF, you can get different scores for different sections of assessment, but DELF gives you overall score of all sections, for ex. passing DELF A1 will give you points at A1 level, but in TEF, you can get different points for sections, based on your score in the test for each section, and thus you will be getting points for different levels for each section in TEF. which is not in DELF.


hope your concerns are answered. [/blue]

Hey Angeleye..

Don't have to know all of these..it's not a test about Quebec culture/history.

Just know the normal fair knowledge about the place you intend to live in.

Easy!

I think we're on the same boat now my friend. I'm also starting to become anxious about the interview! Are you scheduled on the 12th? I'll be interviewed on the 14th. I hope we'll both have good news to share after the interview.

Cheers!

hi friends!
I am asking here this very distinct question. But surely it holds some importance.

Seeking ur true and valuable advice on this.

If a person has filled for his divorce application, then what should he send for documents with initial application?
Because he will not able to get any documents from his spouse.

Also in this case, will he be considered as single applicant or married appkucant.

Also, if a person has kept file as married applicant, but then he gets divorced, so what will happen here.

Pls advice.

Thanks very much Francaise and mkshah .
Does it mean that TEF will allow us to sit for only listening and speaking ( and ignore the other two) as the points will be allocated independant of each other ?

thanks again for being so helpful !

 

[mannemv]

mannemv,

I remember that when i needed to change my address i simply called the MICC at 1-514 873-5760 (then press 5).
The person i spoke told me i could simply give her my address and when i did (on the phone that day) she entered it to the system.

You need to call btw 8:30 and noon. Sometimes, i tried many times as they seem always busy. I believe they will be able to verify if your contact is updated without difficulties.

Thank you and I will do that...

one more question that for USA residents there is no selection interview is that true?
