Yes. A TEF 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.

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.

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.

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.

Centres set their own fees. Across Canada the full four-skill TEF Canada is typically about $390 CAD. A handful of centres, including McGill, charge per module instead, which can be cheaper if you only need to resit one skill.
