People and shutting someone up ehn. Allow people to be pissed off with what they want to be pissed off about. Businesses were disrupted today. Not everyone got a holiday. Some turned back on the road cos the roads were blocked. If you had a normal day, it doesn't make some else's rant invalid. I had a swell time sleeping at home today. Hubby went to work and got there very late cos he couldn't pass some roads. But will I tell someone to stop complaining because I had a good day? Nope! Abeg make we chill and waka pass sometimes.
Nobody should quote me this night. I slept very well, I have plenty strength for y'all

My brothers on this forum looking for a way out of the Cyprus PCC problem, kindly share when you finally find a way through.

I ran into a friend yesterday, who I thought was in the UK for years only for him to tell me that his UK plans fell through and then he landed in Cyprus. I later found out that he's also been in the EE pool too. He had been refused once and declined ITA due to difficulty in obtaining this same PCC. When I asked, he said he sent details/proof of his efforts in trying to obtain one (I can't tell how sufficient they were anyway).

I'll ask him to make more efforts and receive responses, whether positive or negative before submitting again. I think the first was refused because he sent only his communication without any responses to show that the PCC couldn't be obtained from diaspora. I pray that you guys find a way out but please keep us up to date.

Good Friday morning

Baba please do. You might be saving someone from a heart attack. My guy's countenance changed completely when I tried to talk to him about Canada EE, not knowing he had already suffered a heartbreak at their hands.

Alliance Français is your best bet and they don't have online courses. Not sure you can learn French up to B2 (tef level) without physical contact.

Fuzzyman:

Use duolingo on your PC, it has lessons on grammar, proper writing tests unlike the app on the phone.
There's also duolingo stories, also on PC. It is not basic at all. Its legit.
Watch french short films on youtube. I want to write an exam in December myself. Best of luck

Good morning ma'am

I'm back again, I hope you remember me

The guy you helped to calculate his age and points

I scored 66/100,i would be 24 by September would it

increase my points to 67,you calculated it with my age at 23, no masters, just my BSc certificate and 1yr nysc

teaching experience would be through by October.

Finally, I like to ask, does this process need a block account? like a certain amount in my account.

Thank you and gracias.

. Not again! I hope I'm forgiven this time. Babe no vex

Thanks for this...but to the best of my knowledge they don't have a branch in my location...I'm in Benin City

Tojued:


Then my next best advice is take a vacation and go for intensive immersion classes at French village badagry or even for a course in Cotonou.

Otherwise private tutor things... Maybe a lecturer at UNIBEN or a very good final year student. They should teach you using tef curriculum.

sincerely though, can you imagine taking ielts based on if you start to learn English now? And even the French say English is easier than their language... But I won't be a naysayer, nothing in life is actually impossible.

Thank you...Will try this. Were you a french "novice" when you decided to learn the language and how difficult would you rate it? Best of luck to you too

Linzo:
Please friends, someone should help me with some other certificate evaluation agencies that have shorter processing time and are acceptable in the EE program apart from WES
Thanks in anticipation

I think candidates with low points should be encouraged to write TEF.

There are quite a number of benefits:
1. Consider this scenario where a 44 year old PA with 3 years work experience and a wife who wrote IELTS. Both of them made the minimum required score of L,S,W,R:8,7,7,7. CRS score-336.

Immediately the PA takes TEF, the CRS score increases to 378 just by "passing the TEF averagely with a band of 5/8".
L,S,W,R:249,310,310,207. I believe this can be achieved with 6 months of determined practice.
Maximum score would give additional 52 points in this scenario.

So the question is what would you do for an additional 32 CRS points? Alliance Francaise in PH will charge about 120k for the exam.

2. From my discussions with friends and family in Canada, knowledge of French does not necessarily give you an advantage over others but then, when you consider the rate at which immigrants are moving to Canada, you will realize that it is only a matter of time before the competition starts to heat up. French may give you some advantages. I have started seeing bilingual requirements on some of their job sites already.

Conclusion: Stop languishing on that sub-400 score when you can catapult yourself into your dreams. I rest my case.
