How Vancouver releases seats
Publishes each session with a seats-left counter. Returned or unpaid places can reappear.
Checked every 90 seconds to a few minutes. You get an email for any new session, and whenever a sold-out session gets a seat back.
How to book in Vancouver, step by step
- Create or log in to your Alliance Française Vancouver account before the window opens, with your passport number to hand.
- Each session lists its own registration window; recent windows opened at 3:00 pm Pacific, between about 5 and 14 weeks before the exam, and stayed open only about a week.
- Pick a session in the table — the location (Cambie Street or New Westminster) is shown on each line — then fill the form and pay online.
- Bookings are online only; the centre does not take exam registrations in person or by phone.
- Your exact start time comes in a notification letter about one week before the exam.
Good to know in Vancouver
The centre warns that opening several tabs or repeatedly refreshing can cancel your reservation. Log in early with your passport number ready. TEF and TCF workshop participants may get priority access to selected seats. Sessions run at Cambie Street and New Westminster; each batch has a short registration window that recently opened at 3:00 pm Pacific.
- Don’t open the booking page in several tabs or keep refreshing it: the centre says this can cancel your reservation.
- Look at New Westminster sessions too. In September 2026 the December Cambie Street dates sold out while the New Westminster dates had a later window with 8–16 spots each.
- “Written & Oral” means all four components happen the same day, so plan to be there from morning to about 4 pm.
- Members get 10% off exam fees, and PREPmyfuture practice can be added to the exam for $70 instead of $80 separately.
- Signing up for a TEF or TCF prep workshop can come with priority access to a reserved exam spot; you then have one week to confirm and pay.
- Email replies can take two business days, so don’t count on a same-day answer close to a deadline.
