Planning to move, study, or settle in Canada or Québec?
The TCF Canada / TCF Québec exam is an essential step in your journey.
This internationally recognised test will evaluate your French language skills for immigration, permanent residency, citizenship, and academic admission. Through the TCF exam, your ability to understand, speak, read, and write in French is assessed in real-life contexts.
A high TCF score can greatly enhance your chances of success in the Canadian Express Entry system, with the potential to add up to 74 CRS points when combined with your English test results (IELTS)!
Whether you aim to build a future in Canada or Québec, excelling in the TCF exam can open doors to new opportunities and bring you closer to your dream.
