CAF Presentation

VILLANUEVA CORTÉS José FranciscoÁVILA DE CASTRO Pedro Henrique

What is CAF?

● It is a French organization that allows tenants of regulated accommodation (HLM, CROUS, etcetera) to receive housing assistance.

● So, foreign and national students in France have the rights to get it.

How to get it?

● First of all, you can do online a estimation of the assistance ($) you'll receive, depending on the type of accommodation.

● The type of your accommodation should be given by your tenant.

● It is not necessary to do the estimation, it is just useful to imagine what CAF could do in your case.

● The link: http://www.caf.fr/redirect/s/Redirect?page=aidesEtServicesSimuLogement

The Beginning

● Now, have you done the estimation or not, you can do the online request here: http://www.caf.fr/aides-et-services/les-services-en-ligne/acceder-à-une-demande-en-ligne

And now...?

● That's all...

AND NOW???

● Just kidding :)● Now you have to fill an online form to calculate

the sum/amount of your future housing assistance. You will have to use the same link we gave you in “The Beginning”.

● You should be confused because there are this two options:– Vous êtes allocataire

– Vous n'êtes pas allocataire

Okay

● As it is the first time you are in Pays de la Loire, more exactly in Nantes, you will have to choose the option “Aide au logement : nouvelle demande” beneath the heading “Vous n'êtes pas allocataire”.

What is next?

● After you choose what you should choose you should do like us:

The date you entered to your residence

I made a mistake, it should be the third option “En cité universitaire, résidence pour étudiants...”

Just say yes

Documents needed● Contrat de location (ou bail) => Attestation of

accomodation● Déclarations de vos revenus ou Avis d'imposition des 2

dernières années => Not important because you are not paid in France even if you have a scholarship

● Relevé d'identité bancaire au format Bic-Iban => RIB from your French bank

● Si une Caf vous versait (ou à vos parents), des Prestations familiales : votre ou leur numéro de dossier => You don't have it, it is the first time you apply for housing assistance in Nantes

● Si vous accédez à la propriété : le certificat de prêt => Just junk!

Your mail

Yes if you got the SMEBA or the LMDA(?)

Empty for sure

You should know

It depends on you, but it is common the first one for a student

Yes, just 0.

Oui if you have a scholarship. Non if you don't or if you have an excellence scholarship

Normally the school obliges you to get it during the inscription, so Oui

Assurance from your country

Water Break... Yes, doing the CAF is annoying but it is very

USEFUL for you student!

Seriously, go eat and drink something

You'll get all that from your RIB, so, just copy the information. It is important to receive the assistance.

Just continue

● We couldn't continue because it is needed to enter valid RIB information.

● After that, everything is simple, except the section where you are supposed to enter information about your income of the last two years. You should put zeros or nothing if it is allowed, because you are not paid in France, even if you have a scholarship.

● Scholarship is not an income.

The End. El Fin. La Fin. GAME IS OVER

● After entering all that information, you'll be sent to “Fin”, where you will be said to save the pdf's of your request.

● SAVE THEM!

After printing the forms (pdf's)

● First of all, prepare your visa, your passport, your Attestation de Logement (Accommodation) and the form (pdf's you saved) you printed.

● Some photos and the Certificate of the School (Certificat de Scolarité) may be required.

● OFFI is also required, but you are not getting them now, but don't worry, you should be able to send it to the CAF later. (Scolarité is supposed to help you get your OFFI – on Tuesday and Friday).

Where is the CAF in Nantes?

● You should go to the CAF with all your documents, included the forms you should print.

● When I did CAF, I think I went to this address:

Caisse Allocations Familiales C.A.F

22 Rue de Malville

44100 Nantes● It is open from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, but be sure you will

have enough time when you will go.
