The Visa Tales

English lessons

One mistake at a time: the ones Indian speakers actually make, what to say instead, and the dictionary or exam guide the rule comes from. A new one most days.

If you are improving your English for a Canadian application, the score is worth points rather than just a pass: work out what yours is worth. And if it is for a study permit, the English test is rarely the reason one gets turned down.
