Before you book TEF Canada
TEF Canada is one of the two French tests IRCC accepts for Express Entry and citizenship. It’s run by Le français des affaires (CCI Paris Île-de-France) and has four sections taken on the same day, about 2 h 55 in total. IRCC uses the Équivalence ancien score on your results, not the /699 score, and results are valid for two years.

Common questions
The soonest session with seats is Sat, October 3 (TEF Canada) at Alliance Française of Madras, India. Seats go fast, so check the centre page soon.
We check each centre’s public booking page every 90 seconds to 15 minutes, depending on the centre, and every 30 seconds around announced openings. This page shows what we saw on the last check. Dates can change, so always confirm on the official page. How we monitor explains the details.
The centre has published the date, but you can’t book it yet. With an alert, we email you when registration opens, plus reminders 24 hours and 30 minutes before any announced window.
Don’t rely on refreshing one page. Watch every centre you could travel to, because returned seats and new dates appear without warning. The sold-out strategy guide walks through it, and a free alert does the watching for you.
We monitor 43 centres that run TEF Canada in 19 countries. Pick your country below to see its dates. IRCC treats TCF Canada the same, so it’s worth checking those dates too.
