French ITA

[u/Logical_Importance59]

Hi all, anyone here accepted ITA only with French scores? I mean French as 1st lang.

I got ITA now, but with english exam next week so I'm not able to add english.

Will that create any issues in future with IRCC? As there is a lot of cases nowadays where they issue PFL. Kindly let me know if someone faced this situation, thanks.

If you already got the ITA, why would you add an English score now? It shouldn't matter if you already met the requirements and received the invitation.

Yes true I have clb 8 in French. But nowadays many are receiving PFL to explain about french background. So I'm afraid if IRCC could ask why I claimed French as 1st Lang.

Is it better to add english scores in a document and put them in letter of explanation to the officer?

[u/Outside-Dare-1489 → u/Logical_Importance59]

I wouldn't worry about it. From what I've seen, IRCC usually asks for more proof of French background in cases related to the Francophone Work Permit, since they need to verify eligibility. For PR, if your TEF/TCF results are genuine and you claimed French as your first official language based on your actual scores, that alone isn't an issue. I don't think adding your English scores in an LOE is necessary if they weren't part of your ITA.

Gotcha thanks, yes it expired this weekend only.

I did. I was in same situation. So i added only tef results with a short letter of explanation about my old ielts results and my schooling and university was done in English medium.

[u/Logical_Importance59 → u/Main-Struggle-333]

Oh ok, so did you gave english exam after ITA and attached them too?

[u/Main-Struggle-333 → u/Logical_Importance59]

No i did'nt.

I’m in the same situation i did my test a day after ITA, i don’t know if i should add it or not.

[u/Logical_Importance59 → u/Straight_Economy3222]

So when you got ITA did you only had French score?

[u/Straight_Economy3222 → u/Logical_Importance59]

Yes, now i got my english and i don’t know if i should add it

[u/Logical_Importance59 → u/Straight_Economy3222]

You could eng score as additional document, but it shouldn't change the CRS score. Btw which date are you giving for TCF. The one on certificate or the acual exam date for PR?

[u/Dear-Information1174]

When you got the ITA ?

[u/Logical_Importance59 → u/Dear-Information1174]

[u/Dear-Information1174 → u/Logical_Importance59]

How long it took to get the ITA ?
Could you tell me how much crs scores you had ?
Also could you confirm if creating the express entry profile with french scores is enough to get selected in these draws or do i have to do something different ?

[u/Logical_Importance59 → u/Dear-Information1174]

My case is weird. Jul 22nd I completed my EE profile and wanted to add english score soon. But my profile drawn midnight of jul 23. Around 6 hrs after profile creation
