McGill’s School of Continuing Studies runs the largest accredited TEF/TEFaQ operation in Canada. The test centre is on the 11th floor at 680 Sherbrooke Ouest, directly above McGill metro.
Dates and registration are handled by the centre through the official CCI registry — Mocko does not sell exam seats.

McGill University: common questions
Where exactly is the TEF test centre in Montréal?
McGill University is at 680 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, 11th floor, Montréal, QC, H3A 2M7. Check your booking confirmation for the room number — larger centres run the exam in a different building from their main reception.
How do I book the TEF Canada at McGill University?
McGill prices the TEF module by module rather than as a single fee, so you can sit only the skills you need — useful if you are retaking one section. You can also go straight to this centre's session list in the official CCI Paris Île-de-France (Le français des affaires) registry.
Which versions of the TEF does McGill University offer?
This centre delivers TEF, TEF Canada, TEF IRN and TEF Québec (TEFAQ). That is what it is approved to run — the sittings actually scheduled vary month to month, so check the dates before you plan around it.
Which TEF Canada centre should I choose?
Any accredited centre produces the same, equally valid result, so choose on practicality: how soon a seat is free, how far you have to travel, and whether the centre offers the exact version of the test you need. Big-city centres run more sittings but sell out faster; smaller regional centres often have space when Montréal and Toronto do not.
Can I register for the TEF at the test centre in person?
Rarely. Most Canadian centres take registrations online only and explicitly say they cannot book you in by phone or at reception. Use the booking link on the centre page, or the centre’s own registration page where it has one.
What is the difference between TEF Canada and TEFAQ?
TEF Canada is the four-skill version accepted by IRCC for permanent residence and citizenship. TEFAQ (also written TEF Québec) is used for Québec immigration programs and is commonly taken as speaking and listening only. Most Canadian centres are accredited for both, but you book them as separate exams.
