This is a new requirement that may help streamline their process due to past difficulties with ' dialects and slangs '.
We know it doesn't make it any easier..........Just comply and do what they ask.
In my area if your English is not good it would be difficult to survive.
Agreed.

of course. I will do what it takes, but I still have the right to voice my frustration with the process.
This will always be a requirement, and it makes sense. Canada is an English/French country, and those are the official languages. We are Afrikaans and English, and since we knew that we will be sending in proof we started chatting in English and we also made our FB posts etc. in English for the past two years before we applied. Worked out perfectly for us. We realized that we are moving to a country, through our own will, that is English - as such, we have started to communicate in English in our daily lives as well. It will just make your life easier when you get to Canada. Just my 10 cents.

You are wise.
Keep working at it and be prepared for challenges.
Many things to consider before moving....Location, environment, food, language, costs, etc.
It's not exactly like watching a western movie or seeing beautiful photo's in a magazine.
My area in the west is nice but very expensive and the vacancy rate is low. Newcomers are struggling.
There is no easy life here unless you are wealthy. Then you can buy a new Mercedes/BMW and the local government will love you.
My 10 cents doesn't buy a bag of peanuts or sunflower seeds any more.o_O

If you are healthy, willing to work hard and remain flexible, opportunity will exist.
Don't give up

Hi everyone,

So it seems cic updated the proof of contact a tiny bit. Any form of contact through phone, text, email and social media must be provided.

Translation to either English or french are required now for any forms of text message or communication via social media.

I'm running into an issue that most translator services cannot translate my language into English.
Hi

Did you finally translated your conversation?
I am in the same boat?
