Canadian Visa

[bookboo]

Out of curiosity does anyone know how language proficiency is checked during a visa application? For example, my husband's french is probably intermediate and so we would state that, but would he need to prove it? TIA

I think you'll find that the Canadian Immigration Office does not ask for proof of French, but MAY require proof of English proficiency.
French-speaking Quebec may be different.

Applicants for immigration to Quebec are required to submit the results of the following four TEF tests:
compréhension écrite
compréhension orale
expression écrite
expression orale

The TEF tests used are those set by the Centre de Langue Française, in Paris, which may well be explained here on their website (but I did Spanish at school, rather than French, so I'll leave it to you or your husband to see if it helps!)

My french friend went to Quebec and said that they were speaking old French which she could not always understand.

Thanks guys. English is fine as it's my native language. We're hoping to go to Nova Scotia. We're going to have to wait though as my husband has to complete the required 9000 hours in his trade before we can apply.
