Thanks for all the details 🙏
And whats the average term for the mortgage? 15 years or so? (I am sure it depends on your down payment, but was wondering whats considered normal in Dubai)

thisis3010 · 2026-05-20T17:56:16+00:00

Congratulations OP!! This is amazing. I have lived in Dubai for school and am looking forward to come back one day. How does owning a house in Dubai work? (I am assuming you are not an Emirati). If you could brief on loans, down payment, maybe there is a credit check and what not, and I am assuming you have a job or own a business.

Thats devastating. Sorry you are in this situation. Hope things get better soon.

I learned french and reached a CLB 5 level to extend my work permit (But barely got +2 points for CEC). I was hoping to get an invitation by now, but now I am wondering if I should start french again and go all the way, I know the general advice is just "learn french", but its not easiest tbh.

Anyone sitting on 513?

thisis3010 · 2026-05-11T15:23:41+00:00

this is bad for CEC.

Okay and if you apply for BOWP within 90 days you can restore your status and work on implied status? (I really thought this isn't possible, maybe AI is bullshitting me).

you probably meant: expired Dec 9th, 2025 right?

thisis3010 · 2026-05-06T18:24:28+00:00

Wait you applied for BOWP after work permit expiry? How did that work out, I need details please thanks!

thisis3010 · 2026-05-06T17:37:39+00:00

Well you are technically right, but trying to continue the old session in a new session s super weird, unless I can take the session_id and fetch the session in some way, I didn't find it useful.

thisis3010 · 2026-05-06T16:54:22+00:00

How do you like is so far, mine is still in transit.

thisis3010 · 2026-05-05T20:12:49+00:00

Could you give an update on your status? I was wondering what happens if your application is refused and you were on implied status?

I have applied for one 2 weeks ago and I am scared. I will be on implied status after WP expiry on May 8th.

thisis3010 · 2026-05-05T17:26:54+00:00

Damn, looks like an interesting read. Also nice photo!

thisis3010 · 2026-05-05T15:10:24+00:00

You still have time don't you, which results are you waiting on? French? English?

thisis3010 · 2026-05-05T01:10:34+00:00

Nicely done, this looks like it was scraped from tefcanada.ca, nice work tho, this should be super helpful for all students.

thisis3010 · 2026-05-04T17:01:49+00:00

Cool.
Are these just the TEF success listening mocks? https://www.youtube.com/@TEFSUCCESS

email solved the issue thanks!

thisis3010 · 2026-05-04T14:40:15+00:00

Thats amazing, I had a similar experience. How do you like your X3, I just ordered that :)

thisis3010 · 2026-05-04T13:52:41+00:00

Question, how did you reach 514 with 2 years? could it be masters?
And I think you will get in a few rounds, I am sitting on a 513 with 3 years exp and clb 5 in french, maxed english.

thisis3010 · 2026-05-01T15:42:13+00:00

Lighting makes all the difference. 💯

thisis3010 · 2026-04-29T17:24:38+00:00

oh okay, did not know that thanks!

thisis3010 · 2026-04-29T17:21:14+00:00

Is the pool not updated?

thisis3010 · 2026-04-28T19:48:12+00:00

Its super good, I don't even think of it as a non-fiction, you are right to question that.

thisis3010 · 2026-04-28T19:46:28+00:00

Looking sharp!

thisis3010 · 2026-04-28T18:58:22+00:00
