Good to know in São Paulo
Posts one TEF Canada and one TCF Canada session at a time in its online shop, shown as in stock or sold out (no seat count). Payment is by boleto.
- Payment is by boleto bancário only, in a single payment, so budget for the full fee up front.
- For TEF Canada, the centre won’t transfer a registration to another exam type or another date, so pick the session carefully.
- Transfers or refunds are only possible with a medical leave certificate, with a sworn translation, delivered within 48 hours before or after the exam; 10% is kept for admin and refunds take 4–6 months.
- The centre sets a 2-month gap between TEF attempts and a 30-day gap between TCF registrations for the same exam.
- For the TCF, bring an original photo ID and your own headphones with a P2 (3.5 mm) jack.
- Certificates can be collected at the Faria Lima unit or posted to you for a R$45 fee.
- For TCF questions the centre also lists a WhatsApp line: (11) 3572-2377.
