Langage Test nécessaire?

[hbataille]

I am a French native and graduated with an MA from France. I then completed a PhD in English in the United States. Do I have to take the language tests if these can proof I am fluent in the language?

If I do still need the test -- which one? Should I take both? Will it gain me more points?

Thank you!

Hello
-Yes, you should take the language test even though you are a native speaker
- It would be better to take both TEF and celpip to get more score in your express entry , elsewhere you should take one.
- for your Diploma you should do the evaluation with WES .

What do you mean by “elsewhere you should do one?” Are the extra points really worth the extra $300. Thats a ton of money!

That depends on whether you need the extra points. Have you calculated your CRS? If it is competitive enough with you either the English or French test then no need to take both.

So
You should do TEF or Celpip or both
It depends on the score you want to get

ok I'm not sure if I did the DRS right (I have been working in Canada for one year as a university professor, so that gets a lot of points, right?) Anyway, total was 545 with only one language test. Is that a good score, or should we do one more test? I could either do an English one, or my wife could take an english test (native) or a french test (non-native language but a good speaker.) Thanks!

If your CRS adds up to 545 that's more than enough. Current draws are around 440-445.

Tu dois passer au moins un test de langue au choix, soit le IELTS ou CELPIP pour l'anglais, soit le TEF Canada pour le français. Tout le monde est évalué sur la même base, même si l'anglais ou le français sont tes langues maternelles.

A mon avis, tu devrais passer le test pour la première langue officielle dans laquelle tu es le plus à l'aise, afin d'avoir un maximum de points.
Une option serait que, vu que tu es à l'aise dans les deux langues, tu peux par exemple passer les deux tests, et puis tout simplement choisir laquelle tu voudrais déclarer comme première langue sur ton profil EE, et l'autre en deuxième langue. C'est ce que j'ai fait. Un accident dans un test est vite arrivée, on sait jamais...

Pour les points CRS, si tu as 545 comme tu dis dans la simulation, c'est excellent comme score. Bien au delà de la limite des ces quelques dernières invitations. Si tu arrives à obtenir ce score avec juste une langue, pas de soucis. A ce moment là, ca devient vraiment une préférence.
