Is this the official TCF or TEF?

No. The TCF Canada is run by France Éducation international and the TEF Canada by the CCI Paris Île-de-France. This site gives you practice in their formats, with questions and tasks we write ourselves, and AI grades that estimate your NCLC level.

What NCLC level do I need?

Express Entry's Federal Skilled Worker program needs NCLC 7 in every skill if French is your first official language. NCLC 7 in all four French skills also earns up to 50 bonus points. Citizenship needs NCLC 4 in speaking and listening. See the NCLC score guide.

TCF Canada or TEF Canada?

Immigration Canada accepts both. Listening and reading are multiple choice in both; writing and speaking tasks differ. Practise both formats here and pick the one that suits you.

The first set of every level and task, with answers and explanations, one NCLC grade for your writing, and one AI speaking test of each kind. A pass adds every set, NCLC grades for all your writing and up to 20 speaking tests a month.
