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.

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.
