TEF Canada and TCF Canada in Morocco: booking in Casablanca and Rabat

Morocco is one of the easier places to sit a French test for Canada. Both Institut français centres run TEF Canada and TCF Canada, both on computer, and both show how many seats are left on each sitting. IRCC treats the result exactly like one taken in Canada.

MAD 2,900

TEF Canada or TCF Canada, 4 tests (2026)

3–7 days

Before the exam, online registration closes

The Institut français du Maroc has other branches, but these are the two we have confirmed for the Canada versions. If you live in Marrakech, Fès, Tangier or Agadir, ask your local institute first, then fall back to Casablanca or Rabat.

The Institut français du Maroc asks TEF and TCF candidates to register exclusively online, on the website of the institute where you want to sit. A Casablanca booking won’t get you a seat in Rabat, so choose the city first.

1. 1Open the TEF Canada or TCF Canada booking pageGo to the certifications page of the Casablanca or Rabat site and pick the Canada version of the exam.
2. 2Choose a sitting with seats leftEach sitting shows its remaining seats. Casablanca usually runs two sittings a day, at 08:30 and 10:00.
3. 3Have your ID and photo readyBoth are required in the registration form. Use your name exactly as it appears on your passport or CIN.
4. 4Pay MAD 2,900The fee is the same for TEF Canada and TCF Canada, in both cities.
5. 5Keep your convocationThe personal convocation issued at registration is what you show, with photo ID, on exam day.

IRCC needs all four skills taken on the same day, so book the full exam, not single tests. For how Morocco compares with other countries, see TEF and TCF Canada fees.

• No refunds. Fees are not refunded if you cancel.
• Date changes are possible only while registration for that session is still open.
• After registration closes, a change is granted only for illness, a death in the family, an accident or an official exam. Ask in writing within 5 working days of the test. It costs MAD 500.
• 30-day rule. The institute cancels any TCF or TEF registration made less than 30 days after a previous sitting, without refund. That is stricter than the 20 days some centres apply (see retake rules), and in Morocco the 30 days is what counts.
• Adapted conditions for a disability are the one exception to online booking: register in person at the desk with a medical certificate.

Because the pages show seats left per sitting, you can see a session filling in real time. Online booking closes 3 to 7 days before each exam, but a sitting can sell out long before that.

• Check both cities. Casablanca and Rabat are a short train ride apart, and one may have seats when the other is full.
• Check more than once a day. The seat counts change as people book, and new sittings appear on the same pages.
• Have your ID scan, photo and payment ready before you open the page, the same way you would on a registration day.
• If both are full for months, work out how much time you really have with the earliest seat finder and the best time to book.

Elsewhere in the region, Beirut and Cairo publish yearly calendars. See TCF Canada in Lebanon and Egypt.

You collect your attestation at the reception of the centre where you sat (in Casablanca, at the 123 Bd Zerktouni desk). The full exam-day list is in documents for exam day, and your result stays valid for 2 years from the test date.
