TEF Canada is administered by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIP) and has 60 listening questions in 40 minutes. TCF Canada is administered by France Éducation International and has 39 listening questions in 35 minutes. Both test the same four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

Both exams are equally accepted by IRCC. Your choice may depend on: test center availability in your area, exam fees, test format preference, and scheduling convenience. We recommend trying practice tests for both to see which format suits you better.
