The TEF (Test d'Evaluation du Français) is an assessment of proficiency in the French language, used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada to assign points for the language factor when applying for citizenship.

For immigration inquiries, please visit the CIC website. Our staff isn't trained to answer immigration questions.

Applicants may be required to take the QCM: multiple-choice questionnaire tests (written comprehension, listening, vocabulary and structure); the written expression test; and the oral expression test.

The Chamber of Commerce from Paris (Ile de France) is working on a lighter version of the TEF. Starting January 1st, 2019 the oral expression part of the full exam will be simplified (the jury will consist of 1 examiner instead of 2). As the result, the price of the full exam will decrease from $440 to $380.

Prior registration, please make sure that you need the TEF for your application as registrations to the TEF are final.
*The candidates will be notified of the exact time of the TEF exam on their convocation.
