Thank you so much OsamaR.
On the 'Language changes' link you posted, they haven't mentioned what IELTS exam must be given - General or Academic? I guess it'd be General for obvious reasons though. I am not sure where to find this information, but I know if you apply for federal part you need to do the general one.
Also, what about the points given for each level of DELF (i.e. A1,A2,B1,B2,C1)? Have they stated the breakups and respective points anywhere? yea these are mentioned in a document called (Guidelines Procedures for I. I have got it from other members, if you send me your email I will share it with you.re it with you.
Also, do post-application DELF levels completed by the applicant eligible for more points later? Or is it final at the time of the application? As per the new rules, if you want to get some points for language proficiency then you must submit the results of French/English with the application. But I think you can still obtain points for your language skills during interview from the 6 points for adaptability.
Finally, do they give points for 'admission receipts to (say) B1' or are DELF exam results mandatory? I don't think you can get any points for just submitting the admission receipt for the exams. However, if I were you I would still submit it, yo never know !
