Immigrating to Canada

Savings all done, French learning going better.

Well, sooner than expected I have reached the savings that I require. As it stands at the moment my total savings are $10,342.97 with the current conversion rate. According to the official Canada Immigration Department (CIC) the funds needed to qualify are $10,168.00. I will have to keep an eye on it due to the inevitable currency fluctuations, but there is plenty of room to correct any negative moves in this respect.

Now on to my next and final hurdle. French. I have managed to start learning again,it's now just a matter of time before I get better at it. The question is whether I will have learned enough to apply in February. At the moment I don't think this is a real possibility. I may have to defer my application for another year, which means that I will not need such a high score to qualify for application as two extra points would have been taken up by the additional year in employment. However, no matter how long I defer the application there is no getting away from the fact that I have to know French to the basic level. There is always the option of taking the French test early if I feel that I'm ready, but once again, there is no point rushing things.
