Ray of Hope 66th Draw

[Wandering Mind]

No draw again very sad ... its hard to wait for one more week

Like my mother says, waiting for something is a good character-building exercise

Ahhhhh-----YAWWWWWWWWWN--------IE

Trying to study french while waiting for the draw, verb conjugation is hell.

Now that's a great way to pass the time!

 

[Wandering Mind]

I tried watching French films... But every time I learned something else except French

Good for you I miss all the interesting parts when I watch a French film because I'm too busy reading the English subtitles

I recall reading a post (in the earlier pages) where a member received a call from the Immigration Minister. Don't know how true it was but he said that the draw was going to happen today. If no draw happens today, I'll be absent UNTIL i receive my Ray of ITA.

Ha ha ha. The honourable member of this forum was joking

Usually people who aren't confident about getting all their paperwork together within the 3 month time-frame decline their ITAs. So it's good practice to keep most of your documents ready while you're waiting for ITA.

Ohhh, that's true, I can imagine how tedious it can become especially if you are currently working (like me but i took today off). However my files may be a bit slimmer than most given that i've only been in one other country (for more than 6 months) and had two jobs.. Well the pcc and meds are out of my control but I already delivered pcc. If I do get ITA, I will accept it. If my pcc is still not ready, i'll just upload a letter of explanation requesting extension with proof and leave it at that. But for others, with more experience and even children/spouses and traveling, I can see where bottlenecks can arise in that 3 month timeline..

Its been quite a while i read or saw or heard that word conjugation. Actually since i finished my level 4. My teacher gave us an easy idea for that, Le Conjugueur app. Its magic lol

I'm sure it is! But I'm dreading the pronunciation more

We did 2 week intense study in February with someone who tried very hard to work on pronunciation. My husband does very well in that, but doesn't remember the conjugations as well as I do. I am not good at pronunciation, but do ok with grammar and vocabulary. If we could take TEF together, we'd be happy, lol.

I just can't believe IRCC! Seriously, they did this to us last Wednesday and we forgave them...and this again today. I'm done biting my fingers for today!

A fellow Nigerian in the house. We will be waiting patiently.

I must admit its a very romantic language

We're finding that watching Netflix shows that we've already seen in English, with both French dubbing and subtitles, is helping acclimate us. It also opened us up to watching a show originally in Russian, dubbed in Spanish with English subtitles, lol.

That what I am doing but it still painful when I see the results


I really appreciate that all of you altruistically help each other!! Thank you for the explanation!

I am familiar with scoring system in EE and getting max points for age, education, work experience back home, +15 points for education in Canada, for Canadian working experience 0 (only 6 months till now) but English is my weakness!!
Took CELPIP 2nd time on 17th of June. Patiently waiting for my results with fingers crossed!

All the Best for your results.

On a trip to Paris to celebrate our anniversary, my spouse and I tried very hard to communicate with the locals in their own language.

We got huge smiles every time and the locals switched to English to help us out
