Hello all

Greetings!! After waiting for 1 year in EE and not getting through I renewed my application few days ago and here are my stats:

CRS: 366
NOC: 2171 (Over 10 years of work experience)
IELTS: L: 8.5; R: 8.0; W: 7.5; S: 8.0

Realising that I may not stand a chance again this year even with the new system, I have decided to learn French and appear for TEF, please suggest if its a practical and useful option? Will I stand a chance with TEF scores added?

What else can I do to improve my chances? Advice, Suggestion, Comment please.....

The problem is that the maximum points you can obtain with TEF is 24 (as a second language) and IMO it would not be enough to get an invitation.

Thanks DelPiero07 for the clarity. But wouldn't adding French to my language skills give me a shot at New Brunswick and Ontario as well?

if you get clb7 in french you cant go with ontario pnp that program never closes and processing times will be faster in 2017

Yes, just like betty said if you obtain CLB7 in all 4 sections you could get a nomination for the french stream in Ontario.

yes for ontario is french clb 7 + english clb 6 and for new brunswick is english clb7 + french clb5

yes for ontario is french clb 7 + english clb 6 and for new brunswick is english clb7 + french clb5

But for New Brusnwick it is not as direct as Ontario. Right? Is job offer required?

you must have a conection to the province like past studies, relatives , a job offer or assist to one of their immigration session which i find very stupid considering the fact that they can not provide those session all around the world.

Their immigration session is weird though as they did not even attend Francophone countries, although they are desperately looking for French-speaking applicants.

For NB yes and no. French be lower or even non existant if you have other ties with this province (eg. you have studied or work there or you have family ties there). But if you claim as your only tie French as language than required CBL level is 8 on all 4 skills. Funny enough this is nowhere written on their website, but I got a page from NB stand from the job fair, that does require this for EE.

I did the e-TEF a few days ago, after learning french from scratch for a year I got

C1 - Comprehension ecrite
C1 - Comprehension orale

I'll have to wait couple weeks for the results of the other 2 sections.

Cheers

Congrats,is it a high score?

I am a native french speaker and i found the test a bit challenging. I had to practice quite a lot in order to feel comfortable. I had very high scores, but without good practice I will have been in the middle range. This test will be very challenging for a beginner, but it's doable. You will have to give yourself a lot of time, you are learning a new language. Good luck!

 

[DelPiero07]

I think so, only C2 is higher than that.

Cheers

I thought CLB 7 was enough to prove a tie and that's it. Well live and learn
