The Test de connaissance du français (TCF) is a language placement test for non-native speakers of French. It is administered by the Centre international d'études pédagogiques (CIEP) for the French Ministry of Education
The Test d’Évaluation de Français pour le Canada (TEF Canada) tests the French language proficiency of both native and non-native French speakers.
TEF Canada is recognized as official proof of language proficiency by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) as well as the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI) du Québec for permanent residency applications, certificat de sélection du Québec applications and Canadian citizenship applications.
TEF Canada assesses the candidate’s level of proficiency using a 7-level scale based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). These levels are described in detail for each skill (reading/listening/writing/speaking).
EXAMINATION
The TEF Canada consists of 4 modules: listening, speaking, reading and/or writing.
Compréhension écrite (reading)
Compréhension orale (listening)
Expression écrite (writing)
Expression orale (speaking)
For immigration to Quebec only, two modules are compulsory: Compréhension orale and Expression orale.
For immigration to Canada Federal (including Quebec) 4 modules are compulsory
It is a French Language Proficiency benchmark specific to Canadian and Québec Province in Canada for immigration procedures.
