How to book in Toronto, step by step

  1. TEF Canada sessions are released quarterly at 10:00 a.m. Toronto time, about a month before each quarter; the next TEF release (Jan–Mar 2027 sessions) is December 1, 2026.
  2. Create an Alliance Française account online first. Registration is online only, not in person or by phone.
  3. Pick a date at one of the four GTA exam centres (Spadina, North York, Mississauga or Oakville), fill in the questionnaire and pay the $390 fee.
  4. You can hold only one active registration at a time across all four centres, and two sittings must be at least 20 days apart. Duplicate bookings inside that gap are cancelled without refund.
  5. Full sessions disappear from the list. There is no waiting list, so returned places show up again on the booking page first-come, first-served.

Good to know in Toronto

Books online only, across four GTA exam centres (Spadina, North York, Mississauga, Oakville). TEF Canada and TCF Canada sessions are released quarterly at 10:00 a.m. Toronto time; the next release (January–March 2027 sessions) is December 1, 2026. There is no waiting list: returned places reappear on the booking page, first come, first served.

  • The same account and the same one-booking rule cover all four GTA sites, so if Spadina is full, look at North York, Mississauga and Oakville in the same release instead of waiting for the next quarter.
  • Exam questions go by email to the coordinator at the campus you booked (for example northyork.exam@ or mississauga.exam@alliance-francaise.ca). For TCF Canada the centre says it does not take phone calls.
  • There are no cancellations or refunds. A transfer to another date or campus costs $100 and must be done at least 15 days before a computer-based session (30 days for a paper TCF). You then have 6 months to rebook with the credit.
  • Latecomers are not admitted once the exam starts, and it counts as an absence, so you pay the full fee again.
  • The computer exam uses a US QWERTY keyboard, with an on-screen keyboard for accents. Practise typing French accents that way beforehand.
  • Bring photo ID showing your date of birth (passport, driver’s licence or national ID card). The centre also takes your photo before the exam.
  • For TCF Canada, France Éducation International no longer accepts recorrection requests for sessions held on or after September 1, 2026.
