What to expect in Delhi
Synthesized from recurring questions on the TCF and TEF Canada communities. Written in our own words, never republished.
Booking is a sprint. Candidates describe Delhi slots reserving within minutes once registration opens. Be online with your payment card a few minutes before slots open, refresh promptly, and have a backup date. Some choose the paper-based sitting because a computer-based slot would have meant waiting weeks longer.
The speaking examiner is often described as professional but lively. Expect cross-questioning on the warm-up (what you do, where you live) and the occasional interrupt during your turn. Speak as if it were a real conversation, not a recital, memorized phrases get spotted quickly.
On the day, bring the ID you registered with and arrive early. Centres typically hand out wired earphones and an individual computer for reading and listening, with a paper booklet for the multiple-choice answers. You cannot go back to review answers once a listening segment ends.
Plan for a wait of a few weeks for your official attestation, then convert your scores to CLB before you submit anything to IRCC.
