Congratulations more wins!

Obtained my Canada Citizenship last week 3 years 5 months after i landed . Don’t listen to those anti japa people , some of their kids have USA citizenship already.
The Canada immigration has changed a bit since I applied in 2019 but if you meet the requirements and have in demand occupation abeg pursue it o. If you can learn French too please do.

Most of what i learnt about express entry was from Nairaland. I found out a certification i did in 2009 qualified for two or more degrees here. I learnt about gift deed here etc. Canada also has its own challenges but it cannot be compared to Nigeria. The quality of life, access to healthcare, peace of mind and amenities etc.
Me i don signout o. One love 😁

Well said ma ...it also a source of motivation for me.

Felicitations!

Thank you very much. It's been an intense year, but I'm so grateful to God. It also goes beyond the results; I wanted my daughter to know that it pays to be hardworking and never give up on your dreams, no matter how challenging it gets.

Felicitations!

I'm certain it still feels surreal to you. I feel all you've said is a summary of the pain of the process, which has yielded a positive result.

Congratulations once more!

Hello house,

I am back with my testimony. After three attempts of being stuck at band 6 in EE and changing structures, I have finally shattered the nclc 7 ceiling at my fourth attempt! CE B2 CO C1 EE B2 EO B2. Just for someone here, please don't give up and always believe you can improve. I threw in the towel many times and picked it back up because... 50 points makes a world of difference. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me here. So, what I did for this last attempt:
1. Registered for a McGill online TEF writing course structured by a former TEF examiner (this demystified the entire EE for me)
2. Kept my former Cameroonian tutor. She's very patient; she will deal with your grammar warmly, making you want to learn. I can drop her contact if anyone is interested. She followed me through all my ups and downs and never let me go.
3. Attempted Madame Bizang, but after a few classes, I realized that her attitude was not tailored for me. I did all my homework and attended classes early, but she'd talk down on every piece of classwork I produced, saying my grammar was pretty much zero without offering any solid solution. She once told me I couldn't get the desired score in her opinion, and I started losing confidence in both my written and oral French. So, I quietly quit.
4. I listened to 8 milliard de Voisin on RFI daily. Anytime I heard a new word, I'd stop, check the meaning and how to use it, and then use it in conversation with my tutor. I also watched French movies on Netflix.
5. Prepmyfuture is a powerhouse. I cannot overemphasize the content there. Please NOTE: they have now updated their content to suit the new format of the TEF starting from Dec 11, 2023.
6. Joined a Cameroonian TEF prep WhatsApp group called Dr. Manfred C2. I used it to study how the native French write and just followed their convos.
5. I praised God ahead of test day. I almost missed my test due to unforeseen traffic, but we thank God.
If you've followed my story, you'd know I have been through the fire... but other testimonies encouraged me, so I'm encouraging someone else; it is worth every sleepless night, frustrated days, tears, mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion. In total, I got an extra 62 points from TEF.

Apologies for the long write-up; I promised to come back with my praise report, and here it is. Have a blessed evening, everyone!

Good morning boss,

Trust you're doing great

I sent you a mail via nairaland about the telegram speaking group I don't know if you have received it?

I want to be added to the telegram group

I look forward to hearing from you in your earliest convenience.

Do have a nice weekend

aurorae1:


There is a telegram group strictly for speaking in the evening. Someone will have to add you to the group. If you aren't on it yet, you may send a PM.

Good morning,

I will check my mail.

Just as #Aurorae1 said, 'he belongs to a Telegram group where French is spoken every evening.' Why not we join the Telegram group to connect with a large pool of French speakers? This will help us stay updated on the language and provide an opportunity for practice.

Once we have those who are interested on this trend , either our boss or anyone else can create the WhatsApp group.

I believe we should follow due process before creating a WhatsApp group chat, considering we have leaders who pioneered this trend."

Boss this french journey must work 😊😊

Welcome24:
Please check your mail

Thank you

Thanks boss,

Just as "#Suzzyrims #Canadamustgo" righlu said it would be a good plan.

Boss thanks for replying.

Hello everyone!

Are you looking for a place to improve your speaking, listening, and writing skills in the French language?

If you're interested, please let us know, and we will add you to our Telegram group.



"Bonjour à tous !

Si vous cherchez un endroit pour améliorer votre expression orale, votre compréhension auditive et votre écriture en français, vous êtes au bon endroit !

Si cela vous intéresse, veuillez indiquer que vous souhaitez être ajouté à notre groupe Telegram."

Thanks boss for this it really insightful.

Thanks also for the advise you gave me previously which I believe as been a source of help & motivation.

Pls I have a request with regard what you said about this trend which has untapped potential

I don't know if there is a way all our bosses on this trend who have aced their french exam can come up with insight on how to manoeuvre this journey & it could be weekly mentorship webinar
as well as even pairing serious french learners on this trend together via zoom or any other. Platform so as to really improve our french competence. In return,we get to be given weekly french target to accomplish which will enable everyone improve. , but I know all our bosses over there in Canada have tight schedule.

All have said is just a suggestion

Warm regard

Replieed you.

This thread is supposed to be aimed at TEF Canada students. I feel it is extremely dry. Are people studying on their own? Do they know what to study? Where are the discussions on exam questions, exam tips, questions asked recently? I understand that people get banned when they type in French but surely people should be exchanging more on here.

It should not just be about French schools and French teachers. That's 60% of what I see on here. The TEF Canada Facebook page is a good one but this page should provide a good supplement to that one.

A candidate can take action to produce a document containing a bank of all TEF questions and answers for instance. This info can be shared with candidates intending to write their exam soon.

There are loads of potentials for the thread. Sadly untapped.

soulmate19:

You need a mentor for sure. Someone to guide you through. So if you have 24 hours, absolutely no excuse for you not to smash.

This is what I did in my early days learning French:

I attended a French church and I had a French Bible. Even though I did not understand all the sermon, the songs, the prayers, I continued loading my system.

I watched many French films and French series. "Le diner de cons" and "Paris Je t'aime" were my first. I also watched Kad Merad's movies.

Watch the news. Watch French news and news from Canada and Montreal in particular. Get used to French Canadian accents. Watch clips on the trains, the metro, airports, the cinema, French meteo. Get the transcripts from the news. I guarantee than if you do this, you will go very far.

I read many French kiddies books and graduated to leading adult books, novels, etc.

I joined forums on Facebook and read people's conversations, replies, etc. By just reading comments on the TEF Canada Facebook alone, you learn a lot. Ask for groups you can join.

I had French PenPals from a Polyglot site. One of the chics there ended up being my very good friend. Still friends till this day.

I had the advantage of being in the system so I was exposed to French everyday but if you are in naija, or in an anglophone country, no excuses. You got the Internet. You can connect with people. People need to learn English. Teach them English and they teach you French.

During the 3 months, see yourself as French, see yourself already speaking French and in Canada. Visualise your scores.

Above all, avoid the "branleurs". Too many branleurs exist especially in naija and they will steer you away from the path to success. Avoid many naija contents on FB. Waste of your precious time. They will steal your TEF Canada time. I had no "branleurs" to distract me.

All the best and hope we drink red wine to celebrate.

@ Enculer,

Thanks for the detailed explanation I'm happy you did.

I will do as you have instructed me.

Good morning sir/ma,
Trust we all had a lovely night rest

Thanks for this trend it's really informative and a source of motivation.

Pls I just saw what @enculer wrote
For me , I have a basic knowledge of french grammar rules, I can conjugate verbs, whenever I listen to french podcast I can understand like 30percent of the conversation, whenever I read a written french text I tend to understand not all ,but some to a good extent.

For now as I speak I have 24hrs to my daily for the next 3month .

Pls I have questions and I really need our boss & oga overhere to respond

1) how can I really immense myself within three months as enculer stated?

2) will it be wise for me to just start reading comprehension écrite text as it will enable me understand written comprehension well rather than french newspaper website- my intention about learning French is to understand daily used french vocab.

3) @ eden2018 ones talked about his speaking habit shadowing and other pls I really need to improve my speaking ability our boss in the house how did you all do it?

4) comprehension orale pls what the trick behind to take my listening ability to the next level- I use podcast, but I thought of gathering as many exam specific I can lay my hands on will this help?

5) writing i read on page one and it really works- a guy testified " he prepared the essay and did active recall on it - he kept rewriting it which I feel made him immense the structure of the essay? Pls those who have written how did you all make a mastery of the task.

6) the "asking questions" I have downloaded the pdf my question is how did you all master the way of asking questions & the EXPRESSIVE TONE used in asking questions.

Sorry for the lengthy questions .

Thanks to Mummy Gracious words & everyone who has made this trend work.
