TEF & TCF Canada result validity checker
Find out when your results expire and whether they’ll still count on the day you submit.
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
