TCF and TEF Canada exam centres by city
You sit both exams at accredited centres. In Canada that is often an Alliance Francaise or a college; abroad it is usually an Alliance Francaise. The exam content is identical wherever you take it. The venue, the schedule, the local fee, and whether the sitting is paper-based or computer-based all depend on the centre, and you book directly with it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TCF Canada the same exam everywhere?
Yes. The TCF Canada and TEF Canada use the same format and scoring wherever you sit them, in Canada or abroad. Only the venue, the available session dates, and the local fee change.
How do I book my exam date?
You book directly with the centre through its official page. Popular centres fill up, especially before Express Entry draws, so reserve your seat early and have a backup date in mind.
Which cities have a full guide on this site?
We publish a detailed guide only when we can verify the centre and add real, specific exam-day guidance. Cities without a full guide still link straight to their official centre page.
