DAramis:
AIPP is not easy. I have done my part and I think it is time to sign out and focus on other things ahead.

Grace to all in this journey.

Hey!
Why do you sound like you've given up?
Take a break.
Then come back.
As long as you don't give up, it will work out.
Keep dropping those letters. And do some follow up.
One day, someone will answer you.
No one said it would be easy.
Okay?

Ligxy:
I fainted and had to be rushed to the hospital three days ago during my French class, I'm much better now, but I want to ask if I can get any online help from here cos I may not be able to attend my private lesson till next year....

So sorry to hear that.
Please,health first.
Rest well and find a schedule that will be convenient for you.

What Ayandee said in italics: personal study will go a long way to ensuring success.

I would also say your choice depends on your temperament.....a tutor is another option....if you don't learn well in groups and prefer a one on one arrangement....or if you need to focus on specific areas....this may not be possible in a class with others who do not have a similar learning difficulty. On the other hand, some people thrive when they are surrounded by others, learning together.

From absolute beginner to B1 level, I'm not sure it makes a difference where you learn because you are initially only getting a grasp of the language. Exam preps only come in afterwards.

All the very best!!!

Well noted.
Thanks a lot for your response

ayandee:
thanks for the mention. As regard your question, much would depend on your peculiar circumstances. If Alliance Francaise is close to your office or residence, it may be convenient for you to go to AF.

I studied at IEF and I must confess I got good value for money spent. The classes were intensive (everyday classes) and they were small (4 or 5 students) so participating in class discussions/work was unavoidable.

I observe that irrespective of the class, the curriculum is structured towards preparing students for TEF as almost everyone is there for the same purpose- learning french to pass TEF. I also observe that listening forms an essential part of the learning process.
Also, students are evaluated from time to time to monitor progress. Even before registering for TEF, you are assessed internally to ascertain your level of "preparedness".

However, I must warn that whether you go to AF or IEF, you would do much of the work yourself. While classes are important, learning French to pass TEF goes beyond the classroom. The activities you do outside of the classroom to improve yourself daily would determine how fast you would progress.

Bon courage!

Thanks so much for your response.

Congrats to Mamaroon and Ayandee.
You don't know how you both have encouraged me to learn French to boost my scores.

I'd like to ask the house and I won't mind your contribution too between Alliance Francaise (the Ikoyi one to be specific) and IEF Yaba, which one would you recommend for someone who only understands a bit of French.

Thank you in anticipation

And...... that's a wrap!!!!!

This thread is still very short.
Please let's fill it with only relevant posts. I can assure you that the answer you seek is on page 1and you'll find some more before you get to page 10.
We can't keep asking the same questions over and over again and not expect Frankrobbn1 to run away from here.
One day we will just wake up and see Nobody on his posts.


AIPP route is dependent on getting a job offer.
Work with the designated list. Go through the list and write out the companies that need your NOC, search for them on Google Ẹ.g. PepsiCo Nova Scotia Canada. It will bring out the exact website for that company.
Make sure your experience aligns with the NOC and if you're in a regulated profession, you may want to get licensed or be prepared to anyways.
Your qualifications must also be same with what they need.
Prepare your resume in a standard way (search for resume for teacher, resume for dressmaker, resume for secretary.... Google has all the answers!)
Get your cover letter ready using the same format as above.
Update your LinkedIn. Some of these jobs are in LinkedIn, with your personalized list at hand you can easily see those that are on the AIPP and apply to them.
Go to Indeed.ca and search for the job or company. If there's an opening, drop your CV with them.
Tick as you drop.
Then wait for the response.
Remember to include the AIPP clause in your cover letter (don't ask me where the clause is, find it on pages 1 or 2 )

While you're waiting for their response, get your ECA, POF and IELTS ready.

Looking at the list, there's a lot of restaurants and co on it. You may want to get a reference letter if you've ever worked in an eatery, fast food, hotel or restaurant before. That is if you don't mind going in through this job. Remember the pay isn't so great but the good thing is you're leaving and it's only a matter of time before you get another job.

Remember that the list usually gets updated, so be informed and update your personalized list too.


NB: I won't answer questions on this epistle I've written ó. I'm back to my MUTE MODE

Churchgeh:
Egbon Frank you are simply amazing, those who raise others can never go down, they will surely remain on top .

On to my question,

(1) As an experienced ECE( Early Childhood Educator) I realized most of the job posting on indeed.ca does not belong to the designated list, do they have to before I can forward my resume?

(2) To stand a good chance, can you please assist with the acceptable format for writing a resume and cover letters for schools in Canada generally.

Email is ololayimika@gmail.com

Thank you for your time.

1. You're doing it the other way round.
Let the list guide you on Indeed.ca

2. Google will easily solve this question.
Just substitute your skills and details in the template.

teesquad007:
Hi Frank, most of the companies i saw on the designated employer list are either a Restaurant and Hotel which doesnt fit into some people's like me job description who happen to be in a Building related field. What do you suggest i do? Should i just forward my resume to the restaurant or hotel and apply as?

Why would you do that?
There is a reason a list of designated employers was released. Only employers who need specific positions to be filled are on that list. If your job isn't on the list you may have to go back to the EE or PNP route or wait for the RNIP to commence.
Also on the list, some companies don't state out rightly what they do, you may have to search them on Google to see what they do in their company.

julietpearl:
I am so glad to have chanced upon this thread.

Congratulations on the latest victory.

I would like to ask please which of the IELTS is required for the AIPP programme (Academic or General). Also, could you please assist with recommending anyone who can update Resume's and Cover Letter to the Canadian standard?

Thank you Frank.

General IELTS
Just Google Canadian resumes and you'll see countless options.

Thank you!

Pebo:
Wow! Congrats! I am really encouraged by this. I have been following the Canadavisa thread too but must confess that at a point I felt jobs were only given to the Indians. Now I definitely will not relent on this pathway...

Could you please share the link?
