TCF Canada sessions are organised throughout the year. The approved centres are authorised to organise sessions according to their possibilities.
It is up to you to contact directly the TCF approved centre closest to your home.
The TCF approved centre will inform you about :
– the dates of the sessions
– the registration procedure
– the place where the tests will be taken;
– the test medium (paper or computer);
– the fee.
You can take the TCF Québec as many times as you like. You must, however, wait 30 days between each test, regardless of the type of test concerned.
No diploma or preparation is required to take the TCF.
Results
Your results will be sent to the test centre within 15 working days from the date of receipt of the session material by France Éducation International.
It is the test centre that must give you your TCF certificate.
Your attestation will be valid for 2 years from the date of delivery of the results. This validity date will be indicated on your certificate.

What level do I need to reach to get points?
The levels of language skills required for immigration to Canada are detailed on the IRCC website.
In your immigration file, you will need to report these results using the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) corresponding to your results.
