QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[Ievgen]

Hi Ievgen

Thanks for replying, however I assume that there's a negative marking in TEFAQ but same is not in TCF..

Also I think TCF is also having 2 modules; listening and speaking only... So I'm getting confused now between both the exams.. :-X

Pls check out below link... http://www.ciep.fr/en/tcf_quebec/index.php

From what read about TCF there're 6 questions in speaking part and 30 in the listening. Also the overall duration of both sections is 45 min which is less than TEFAQ. I don't know the estimated level of difficulty for TCF because it's not offered in my country. Based on what I read in different threads most of applicants took either DELF or TEFAQ.
As you mentioned negative marking in TEFAQ, this is the case for listening part. You should answer only if you're confident. Otherwise it's better to leave a blank because incorrect answers are penalized. This is different from other standartized tests (TOEFL, IELTS, GRE) where you shouldn't leave any blanks as guessing might give you credit.
However, if you're trying to prove beginner/intermediate level then the type of test to be taken doesn't make that much difference.
Best of luck for you in any case.

guys instead of everyone giving opinion, there is chance to make equivalence for you degree in Quebec
I done so

It took 18 months

adv. you can grant 10 pts for education

Can this Equivilance be in English ? or it must be in French too ?

Yes call center jobs are considered one of the most stressful jobs and I have not yet mentioned the attitude of clients - that is the key to all stress
There are english call center agent jobs too but they are worse paid than bilingual agents. So you will be able to apply if you do not have a better option after landing. Thanks for your kind wishes.

I'm sure there're students like that in every country . However, that's a shame when they manage to land good jobs while skillfull graduates are unemployed because of overqualification. I think that it takes so many years in Canada and US to earn PhD because applicants go for doctorate directly after completion of their BS. In contrast, in UK an applicant must have a MS already before enrollment. I started my PhD in the US, but then decided to quit after 2.5 years and obtained a MS instead.

Never thought that call center jobs might be that competitive. I wish you stay well in your present occupation while your degree evaluation is in process. I wouldn't be able to get such a job as I just started learning french. So far I applied to order that regulates my profession for obtaining permit. Even though I don't mind taking "survival jobs" for the first time I'll to do what's possible to avoid becoming a cleaner in Walmart ;D

hi can anyone help me on this

If it has English in the document, you need not get another translated document. Also, for any document if its in local language, you have to necessarily get it translated even for the Birth Certificate. But not sure how you got a Birth certificate in Tamil. I got my son's and it was in English only.
