TEF & TCF Canada result validity checker
Find out when your results expire and whether they’ll still count on the day you submit.
Results are valid for 2 years from the test date, not from when your attestation is issued. They must be valid when you create your Express Entry profile and when you submit your PR application — IRCC refuses applications with expired results.

How it works
Results are valid for two years from the test date. IRCC checks twice: when you create your Express Entry profile and again when you submit your permanent residence application.
If your results will expire before you submit, book a retake now — seats can take months.
- ✓ 2-year expiry date
- ✓ Margin in days
- ✓ Retake warning
