Ray of Hope - 117th Draw

[veritas1994]

Hi, An advice to all, if you have studied French earlier or have inclination to learn a new language you should attempt TEF or TCF. Before i attempted TEF i was told it is very difficult and would not get me any points. But the reality is that TEF scoring is possible for each module with minimum B1, for example if you get B1 in listening you endup with 1 point minimum even if you have scored A1 or A2 in others. And B1 in all you would get 4 points which isn't very difficult if you have basic understanding of French. I gave TEF and ended up with 5 additional points (L1,R3,W1,S0) to take my score to 447. Would be reappearing for the exam this month to get few more points to get to 450. With three months of study i managed to get five points and now trying for more. My last TEF exam was computer based, but now opted for paper based at a different center hoping that it would be easier. Hope this helps anyone who is thinking of French to increase your score.

Wow that is amazing work though. I was always told it was easily 10-18 months to get a decent score. 3 months is really impressive! Congratulations!! How much would you say you studied during an average day?

Thank you Studied on an average for about 4 hours a day and the week before the exam I was studying for atleast 6 hours daily. Had an A1 level of French before i started though

You have seriously given me some thought. I was somewhere around A1/A2 as well when I graduated high school. If CRS does not drop down to 448 in the next few months I might have to consider this option too

Hi folks

First post here. Been following the forum for quite a while.

My CRS score as of now is 441, have no scope for improvement, with my IELTS score being (L:8.5, W:7.5, R:9.0, S:8.0)

My credential evaluation report is expected on the 4th of next month as per the last status update.

Is there any chance that I get an ITA before the end of the year (I had earlier hoped to get an ITA sometime in Aug/Sep ) but does not seem to be the case considering the trend going on at the moment with the draws

yes b1 is very easy to score but the person who asked about studyingFrench for a year said that he will be targeting an overall nclc7 which means he has to get 7 or more in all modules. this is not realistic. I understand getting nclc7 in reading after a few months of study since it's considered as the easiest module and there is a tef preperation fb group in which you will find almost all the reading texts . These texts are frequently repeated in the actual exams with the same comprehension questions.

I was not able to find the group on fb. Pls do share the link. It would be a great help.

Maintenance of site has nothing to do with the draws. Its not always true! There has been instances in past, when draws were conducted with or without the maintenance being held.

Is it?? That's an interesting thing i never knew before. Thanks for sharing. Let's hope for the best.. good luck to each one of us here.

Need some help!!! I updated my NOC today because I found a better match and it made my profile ineligible!! Why did this happen?? Any ideas??

This is most likely because the new noc is not listed as a job in demand

Check if u have atleast one year of experience in the NOC if chosen as primary.

There is no such thing. In demand applies for PNP nominated candidate.

What I mean is that it is not every occupation that is eligible under the express entry system. Any example is customer service for financial institutions

This is most likely because the new noc is not listed as a job in demand

The NOC may not be A. B, or O category. For example, data entry doesn't work.

Hello guys, i have a question please :

I'm going to apply to express entry via an immigration agent. In our meeting, he was talking about applying to provincial programs. I don't get why he would suggest that when my CRS score is above the 450 points. Any ideas why he's pushing for the PP ? i don't want extra fees if it's not needed so i'm asking if i have to go through with this or if it doesn't really add anything if you're above CRS 450 ?

Thanks in advance for your advice and thoughts
