The definition of bilingual is very loose when you work in Government, especially in anglophone provinces. When you see a bilingual officer, it is not Trudeau-type bilingual. This simply means that the person can at minimum read in the second official language and with some help from colleagues or online translator can navigate documents. But not complex legal files. I am not even talking about speaking here. When I worked in Alberta for one of the federal agencies, I was the only one in the entire building actually speaking French, while many others just had "bilingual" designation but were simply taking French courses.
My sincere recommendation to everyone is to submit in English, as someone with two refused French HCs and two French appeals lost.

I'm sure that I have an excellent case but the officer was stupide and non-professional hos unfamiliar with immigration law and doesn't differentiate between humanitarian and asylum grounds....
I will get my PR one day....
May God help everyone
his inability to understand French is not my problem but it's the problem of the government.
I don't accept to lose my right to have a fair and equitable analysis of the file because of the incompetence of the government
@Swagzzy No i'm not.
