TEF Canada or TCF Canada? Take the 60-second quiz
Five questions, no email. We’ll recommend the exam that fits your deadline, your centre and how you perform.
How it works
IRCC treats both exams equally, so the right choice is practical: which one you can book soonest, and which format suits how you perform.
The quiz weighs your location, deadline and strengths, then explains its reasoning — it never just says “it depends”.

Common questions
Neither is officially easier. Many candidates find TCF speaking friendlier (it builds gradually), while TEF’s multiple-choice sections feel more predictable to others. Availability usually matters more.
