Hi
mine took 16 months,

but I think they have link related to our interview date, cause i got it 1 month ago, and you can see our interviews are close

but as you have BE engineering, for sure will be 3+ years no need to worry

Hi Victor, i've just sent my papers for Evaluation Comparative...they received it last week and no sign from them yet. The officer during interview told me will take max 10 month.
Our friend Lemans has waited 16 month...but i think he did not sent all documents and they've asked for supplementary papers.
During the interview i had only my university diploma and grades for 3 years of study and i obtained full points
Good luck

well Mike, Ricoluna is right the test is not obligatory but it helps more that you can imagine... My TEFAQ(for me, the easiest) results lead me to be exempted from the interview. If you're intrested I submitted my test at ESA clemanceau, beirut in June 2010, as i remember it costed me arround 150 euros. they will give you results in one week or two as max and they do tests on a monthly basis.

Mike u have good points but i think u definitely must take the test TCF Quebec.U can call CCF Beyrouth.
about ur application if u have declared 12 and 10 in DCS this means level C1/C2 ..U HAVE DECLARED THE maximum!!!! level 10 = C1 and level 12 = C2 ! u'll obtain the maximum of 16 points in french !
U have already declared C1/C2 so i definitely recommend u to take the test and get those results !
Good luck, keep us informed
I am sure u'll easily obtain them in TCF Quebec.

Dear Mike

My experience says they always cont marks on documents you will provide. rememeber even if you are good in french but does not have any proof still he/she give you no points. so my friend always calculate your points based on documents so ultimately french exams is must

if you are beyond 55/63 points with french result there will not be any chance for them to refuse

they work on file well before interview and ask you questions where they feel you have deficiencey so do not leave any space for them to go into arguemnt during the interview

to me they asked questions about my french skills since i was at 61 with my A1/A2 result but to ricoluna they asked questions about her degree but not for french

regards

mazhar
