Questions about sitting the TCF here

23 locations, spread across Montréal, Québec City, Baie-Comeau, Chibougamau, Chicoutimi, Drummondville, Gaspé, Kirkland, La Pocatière, Laval, Rouyn-Noranda, Saint-Constant, Saint-Félicien, Sept-Îles, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières.
Can I sit the TCF in one province and immigrate to another?
Yes. A TCF Canada result is national — where you sit it has no bearing on which province or program you apply to. Many candidates travel to whichever centre has the earliest free seat.
Which is easier, the TCF Canada or the TEF Canada?
Neither is easier in any official sense — both convert to the same CLB/NCLC scale and IRCC treats them equally. The formats differ: TCF Canada uses multiple choice for reading and listening with a fixed number of questions, while the TEF has more items and a different speaking structure. Most candidates choose on seat availability and which format they find more comfortable in practice tests.
Can I register for the TCF Canada online?
You register with an approved centre, not with France Éducation international. Most Canadian centres take registrations through their own website or by email; the contact details for each are on its page here.
What is the difference between TCF Canada and TCF Québec?
TCF Canada is used for federal immigration and citizenship. TCF Québec is aimed at Québec immigration programs. They are separate sittings with separate score reports, so book the one your program asks for.
How much does the TCF Canada cost?
Centres set their own fees, typically around $380–$400 CAD for all four skills in Canada. Always confirm with the centre, since prices change without notice.
