The TCF is a language exam designed to determine and certify your level of French competence. While the DELF and DALF offer
different exams to prove a specific level of ability, the TCF evaluates your level through one exam. TCF exam results remain valid
for two years. There are three types of TCF Exams:
Test
de Connaissance du Français (TCF)
The TCF assesses
a person’s level of French language for general purposes and is intended for people who are not native French speakers and who, for
professional, personal or academic reasons, wish to have their competency in French assessed and certified.
TCF Intégration, Résidence et
Nationalité (IRN)
The TCF IRN is used to demonstrate French proficiency for French citizenship and permanent residency applications. This test is
composed of four compulsory sections: compréhension orale (20mins), compréhension écrite (25mins),
expression écrite (30 mins), and expression orale (10mins).
TCF
Canada
The TCF Canada is recognised as official proof of language proficiency by Citizenship and Immigration Canada as
well as the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion du Québec for permanent residency
applications and Canadian citizenship applications. The exam is composed of the following four tests: compréhension écrite (60mins), compréhension
orale (35
mins), expression orale (12mins), & expression écrite (60mins).
Please note that le Ministère Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada requires that candidates sit all
the tests on the same day if
they wish to apply for ’une demande d’immigration’.
Your individual oral exam time will be indicated on the Convocation Document, which you will receive
before the exam day.
