TEF & TCF Canada guide

Two exams, one goal: your NCLC score

IRCC accepts both TEF Canada and TCF Canada for permanent residency, citizenship and Express Entry. Results are converted to the same Canadian levels (NCLC), so good results on either can add CRS points. We prepare you for both.

Test d'Évaluation de Français, run by the Paris Île-de-France Chamber of Commerce (CCI).
