FSW WORLDWIDE

The problem is the wind, last night was 3 degrees which is fine, but when the wind blows, cuts through you like a knife.

Yeah, I had an encounter a few weeks ago, windy and drizzling evening. 6 degrees felt a lot worse than last night. But still I dealt with it without any complaint, so I bet my own attitude did make some difference. Haha.
By the way, good to know you. It's been 2.5 years. Catch up with you when we have a chance.

 

[Islander216]

Yeah man, I'm downtown, anytime you're there let me know.

I don't know where you guys are, but it's been a very mild winter so far in the 6. It's getting colder now, but we're still in positive temperatures.

Not to say it's not cold, but it's not freezing by any stretch either.

-21 today in Regina. Freezing our asses off already.

Couldn't do it.

Montreal is too cold for me, can't even imagine Regina or Winnipeg. Toronto for the most part is okay.

I guess they're really taking their time with FSW-O application. My AOR was Oct 2020. Ottawa VO decided to transfer my application to Montreal VO when I added my spouse in Dec 2021, and that was the last activity in the GCMS I received last week.

Good luck, but don't stop the French.

 

[ImpatientDragon]

Do we update TEER code on Nov 16?

 

[armitabbsn]

Good luck, but don't stop the French.

Yea . Will continue

 

[armitabbsn]

Good luck, but don't stop the French.

How should I add tef results into my profile
In language section it only shows my ielts score, there is no place for add tef

Good job. Now you know what your weak points are if you choose to attempt it again. And I honestly think with 487, you have a very good chance at an ITA before TEER is implemented.

It should be in your profile. Something along the lines of what languages do you have scores for, and you choose TEF Canada. I don't remember exactly, but it's in the languages section. Just go through every line carefully and you'll find it.

It took me 10 months from complete 0 to to passing TCF (I even got C1 and C2 in a couple of categories).

That's really impressive. Would you mind sharing the resources you used? I'm struggling with putting a daily schedule and finding actual useful resources.

I had an online tutor for 45min or 1h per day, 5 times per week. I found her on Superprof and chose someone who was a native French speaker, former TEF examiner, professional tutor and most importantly - she believed that with enough effort, it could be done
We followed Cosmopolite 1-3 books and Grammaire progressive for grammar exercises. I spent every possible idle time (commuting, between sets at the gym, literally whenever I could) to practice conjugating verbs and learn vocabulary (I used a few different apps - there are plenty available so just pick whichever one you like the most) and listening to Coffee Break French podcast. I kept reading the news in French and tried to watch French movies etc.
Overall my schedule was - approx. 1 h lesson with around 1-1.5h of homework plus additional homework for weekend (usually a lot of writing). The rest was the stuff mentioned above (podcasts etc.)
The last 6-8 weeks was pretty much just pure exam prep - you can find a lot of exam papers online - I was doing 1-2 full exams per day.
Hope this helps! It's hard but it can be done
