Good to know in London

- The TCF Canada here is paper-based, not on computer.
- Registration closes well ahead of the exam (for example, 12 October 2026 for the 20 November 2026 session), so don’t wait for the last few weeks.
- Sessions are almost always on Fridays, roughly monthly with gaps in winter and summer.
- The session list shows no oral date for the October 2026 session. Check with the exam centre before booking it if you need all four tests on the same day.
