Just landed Calgary, Canada... and one of the shocking things we experienced was getting free food and groceries. Hunger no fit catch you.
We just had to document the experience in a video. You can watch to know what to expect and share with others.

[color=#006600][/color] good day everyone please I want to ask a question. I submitted my study permit application last week and on Monday ,my application is in progress, my eligibility is being reviewed I want to know how long it will take for it to be approved. Also my medicals and biometrics has not been updated, my background check is in progress. So since they started reviewing my eligibility status early how long will it take because I'm going for may Intake. Your kind response will go a long way, thanks

ednut1:
oh i see. IRCC is paying people to go write TEF As more and more people want to japa people will try every possible available means to increase their scores. The so called bill C-19 already shows us that high scores does not necessarily solve labour shortages. If they cared about scores there will be no bill c-19.

Congrats to those who got ita and ppr 😅

Thanks a lot. I started in July last year when someone enlightened me on the impact of french on CRS score and gave me his echo A1 book. But the book was so boring to me until I stumbled upon a post by @Cooooooks about vite et bien and it was a game changer. I employed a private tutor that same month and she was like the perfect icing on the cake. I did a month subscription with ‘learn french with Alexa’ too while I was also listening to the Michel Thomas series at any spare time both at work and at home. Immediately I finished the vite et bien B1 book, I focused my attention on ‘the communication progessive du français ‘ by the same author of vite et bien and also started streamlining my practice towards the TCF exams bécause I discovered I had learnt enough vocabs. My tutor was a major booster and I couldn’t have pulled through without her efforts.

So in summary, I used

Books:
Vite et bien (A1 to B1)
Communication progressive du français
Essential French grammar
The Ultimate French (couldn’t finish reading this)
Vocabulary in dialogue series (Couldn’t finish this)

Audio:
Michel Thomas series
Frenchpod101 (didnt finish all)
Coffee break (didnt finish all)
RFI
TV5monde

YouTube videos
-french extra series (very funny)
-french in action series (didn’t finish this)
-french avec pierre
Some other French channels

Subscription
Learn french with Alexa
Réussirtcf canada
TCF prepmyfuture (I didnt use this one at all. I later gave out the login details cos I didn’t like it)

GROUPS
-Several Telegram French groups especially for speaking
-Several whatsapp groups too

APPS
HelloTalk ( Didnt use this more than once cos I could easily speak french with my tutor everyday)

MOVIES
The African Doctor
Lupin (this is a series)
Some others.

Private Tutor: For the entire learning period. Also, my Tutor was very determined to ensure I succeeded. We became very close. I got to know her through a website called Superprof which someone recommended for me because I needed a physical tutor and not an online one.

Also, I already knew I was writing TCF , so no need studying TEF materials but I participated in their speaking sessions in various platforms.

Overall, the best way to learn the language is to love the language first and then immerse yourself. I’d sometimes speak french to my colleagues and patients at work just for the fun of it LOL. The books and michel Thomas Series made me keep going back for more. Each time I felt like giving up, I’d come to this thread to read People’s testimonies and that would fire me on again. So this thread played a crucial role too. Since my colleagues knew I was studying french, they easily covered for me at work too. Not failing to acknowledge the help of God who is the orchestrator of all things.

Good day,

Please I received a notification of interest from Ontario,

But I'm confused with one of the requirements

One of the requirements is that if you worked in a regulated occupation, you must scan and upload a copy of your license or authorization

I'm a pharmacist here in Nigeria,do I need to obtain an authorization or license from Ontario or is it my Nigeria license?

Please anyone that has gone through this process, I would appreciate if they can assist me.

Thanks.

Dear @Makano, aestake, DrAFOgons, Profgordons, HEADYWORLD, Lizzy et al,

I have submitted my application for SOWP and the kids' SP.

Please I didn't fill out IMM5646 (Custodianship Declaration - Parents/Guardians for minors studying in Canada).

Is this a MUST or can this cause me any problems? I just remember that I saw something about it earlier on that " you may fill out the IMM 5646 form" and I can't remember filling it out before submitting my application.

Is it an idea to fill it out and send it through webform?

Please, team please guide me here.

Thanks in anticipation.

Treasure134:

hotboss:
Hello house.

My wife's application got a BVL on 10th of march. Till now no update at all.
Sowp for wife
Vv for daughter

Applied October 27th. I noticed the BVL came from Ottawa.

Any heads up pls?(

ChiPromise:
Okay thanks a lot.
Waiting for the PGWP would be adding extra 6months on top of the time I would have applied after the wedding. Probably the only option is to apply during study permit validity and then apply for an extension.

ChiPromise:
In that case, is it better to apply for his SOWP when I'm applying for my PGWP?

ChiPromise:
Pls house, sm1 should advice me. I'm in Canada on a study permit but my wedding is in June for which I'm to travel to Nigeria. My study is ending in August and permit expiring in November b4 which I'll apply for PGWP.
The question is, should i apply for SOWP soon after the wedding? And what length of visa will he likely be given? Would it lap into my pgwp or would I have to apply for extention for his SOWP?

Treasure134:

Hi everyone,

For those that have submitted their passport, please, is the transmission fee the same at 9410, and if I'm sending it to Abuja for stamping, how do I get their passport back since DHL doesn't do two-way couriers anymore? I need clarity on this.

Thanks, guys.

Utong:
This is a fact. I was not given medical request and did not do medical before moving. My medical was written N/A meaning not applicable.

Utong:
No go waste money. If medical was not requested, don't do it. You only do medical if that was requested.
I am here in Canada. I was not given medical request neither did I do upfront.

soulmate19:
Hello, can the Unilag French course be used to write the TEF exam or would you advise one get a private tutor? I am already self-studying French but I want to go to physical classes to prepare for the exam.

DrAFOguns:
Guys, I need your help. I initially sent my passport through DHL and they didn't do two-way, hence why I am stuck.

Do I just make payment to VFS and send them the receipt with delivery address?

Ibizer:
Hello guys, I'm not in the pool yet or anytime soon but I just want advice. I'm a young man in my early 20's in Lagos. Completed Nysc and got a job. I want to get at least 2 years experience before applying for EE so am looking at the next 3-4 years but due to how competitive and difficult the system is currently, I'm scared that in the future when I want to apply, it might be harder and unattainable.
Maybe I'm overthinking based on how naija is or it's actually a reality.
Just need advice. Thanks

kennyjoy:
Ok Thank you so much. How many days interval after the medical can they send off their passports for stamping? Their medical is on Tuesday, can they sent it Friday.

DrAFOguns:
Good evening, House.

I have just received a message from VFS that my passport is ready for collection. How do I engage their courier service?

Thanks in advance.

aestake:

Hello everyone, I’m finding it hard to get my bank reference letter (letter of good standing) from Zenith bank. My pof is in my Zenith bank dom account , I have gotten my account statement but they’ve been turning me for that letter for about a week now, saying they need various approvals. Is there anyone that used zenith bank as pof or has anyone that can help fast track this letter from zenith bank please? It’s only this letter that is holding me from submitting my application. Please help. Thank you

Dear All,

If really the allowable MB size is 4MB, how then are people able to add Credentials, pictures, Car docs, landed docs, marriage certificates, etc...

I also know you can reduce the size of your .pdf documents. How do you reduce the size of more than 42MB to 4MB?

on a lighter note, nor be juju be that?

abeg someone should help a brother.
