I practiced my french speaking ability mostly in my part time classes I took on the weekends. There were other students like me in the class. We also hung out after the class and made it a point to speak only in french. I also went to some local meet up events in my city which included french...

@engMostafa - Getting a 9 in IETLS was easy for me as I studied in an English speaking school since I was a kid. To me this was a natural. I prepared only for a week to familiarize myself with the test format. I didn't do any special preparation. If English is not your primary language, I highly...

It is a personal choice. Based on my research, I found that there is plenty of racism in Australia. So, I wasn't interested in a place where I am not treated equally & fairly. I would much rather contribute to a society which treats it's citizens in an equal manner. Canada on the other hand has...

I am trying to understand this. A question to you: If you applied for QSW and signed a statement saying you intend to live here, why would you want to move to another province right after landing? what was your intention of applying to Quebec if you do not intend to live here even for a year?

Yes, B2 in listening and speaking in TCFQ is enough for proving your french knowledge. Also, from August 1, 2013, Quebec is allowing an additional 2 points for writing as well. If you need more points, then you can opt to take the writing part. Otherwise, speaking and listening will suffice.

You can take either one of the exams listed in MICC's website i.e. TCFQ, TEFAQ and DELF B2. If taking TCFQ or TEFAQ, aim to get B2 in those exams. If you are taking DELF exam, you should aim to pass DELF B2. DELF B1 won't carry any points towards your application and certainly will not help...
