\nTEF and TCF Tests
\nFurthermore, the TEF and TCF are open to anyone 16 years or older who is not a native French speaker and their scores are valid for two years. The exams measure the quantitative and qualitative level of a candidate’s linguistic and communication skills that correspond to levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They are made up of three mandatory and two optional sections. The Reading, Listening and Vocabulary & Structures sections are mandatory and must be taken together, while the Writing and Speaking sections are optional and can be taken separately. There are different versions of the TEF and TCF for specific purposes.
\nTEF Canada
\nTo start with, the Test d\u2019\u00c9valuation de Fran\u00e7ais pour le Canada (TEF Canada)\u00a0is a test of general French which assesses the level of proficiency in French of francophones and non-francophones alike. The TEF Canada is a specialized exam for all persons wishing to immigrate to any province in Canada outside of Qu\u00e9bec. This test is similar to the TCF Canada as well.
\nThe TEF Canada is recognised as official proof of language proficiency by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for permanent residency applications, Canada Immigration and Canadian citizenship applications. The only accepted exam for proving French-language proficiency in Express Entry is the Test d\u2019\u00c9valuation du Fran\u00e7ais (TEF Canada) so if you want to claim points for French, you must take this exam.\u00a0
\nAll Express Entry candidates must include a language test. However, those including French-language test results from the TEF exam may have a few advantages. First, if a candidate submits TEF results showing Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) Level 7 or higher, they will receive additional points for French-language. As well, French-language proficiency may make candidates eligible for some French-speaking\u00a0Provincial Nominee Programs\u00a0(PNPs), like that of Ontario.TEFAQ
\nThe Test d\u2019E\u0301valuation de Fran\u00e7ais adapte\u0301 au Que\u0301bec (TEFAQ) is recognised as official proof of language proficiency by the Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Immigration et des Communaut\u00e9s Culturelles du Qu\u00e9bec (MICC)\u00a0for certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec applications.This test is quite similar to the TCFQ (Test De Connaissance Du Fran\u00e7ais Pour Le Qu\u00e9bec) test. It is valid mainly in the Qu\u00e9bec Immigration\u00a0(Certificat de s\u00e9lection du Qu\u00e9bec).Those who speak French may qualify for other Canadian immigration programs as well. Specifically, Canada\u2019s French-speaking\u00a0province of Quebec, has a range of immigration programs for French-speaking skilled workers. For example, the\u00a0Quebec Experience Program\u00a0(PEQ) requires that all candidates are proficient in French. As well, the\u00a0Quebec Skilled Worker\u00a0(QSW) program is a competitive program, giving an advantage to those with demonstrated abilities in French.Notably, the Quebec immigration programs do not use the TEF Canada to assess candidates. Rather, Quebec uses the Test d\u2019\u00c9valuation de Fran\u00e7ais pour l\u2019acc\u00e8s au Qu\u00e9bec (TEFAQ).
\nTEF Pour les E\u0301tudes
