Themenquiz 1: TCF Canada format and scoring

Was Sie vor der Prüfung wissen sollten

IRCC lists TCF Canada and TEF Canada as the approved French tests for Express Entry.
TCF Canada has four tests: listening (39 questions, 35 minutes), reading (39 questions, 60 minutes), speaking (3 subjects, 12 minutes) and writing (3 mandatory topics, 60 minutes).
In IRCC's equivalency chart, TCF Canada reading and listening scores go up to 699, and writing and speaking scores go up to 20.
For NCLC 7, IRCC's chart needs 453–498 in reading, 458–502 in listening, and 10–11 in writing and in speaking.
Reading and listening use different score ranges: for example, NCLC 9 starts at 524 in reading but at 523 in listening.
For Express Entry, results must be less than 2 years old when you complete your profile and when you submit your permanent residence application.
The TCF describes French on a 6-level scale that matches the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is this the official TCF Canada?

No. This is an independent preparation course. All texts, recordings and questions are original and only practise the skills the test checks. For official information and registration, go to France Éducation international or an approved test centre.

What does the certificate of completion show?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not a TCF Canada result or an NCLC level, and IRCC does not accept it as proof of French.

Can my practice score tell me my NCLC level?

No. Only official TCF Canada scores convert to NCLC levels with IRCC's chart. Practice scores here are feedback that shows you what to study next.

How do the listening questions work?

Your device reads each French script aloud in a French (France) voice. Press play, listen, then answer. The script appears after you answer, so you can check what you missed. If your device has no sound, you can read the script instead.

Are the instructions in French or English?

Instructions, questions and explanations are in plain English. Practice texts, recordings and most answer options are in French, because that is the language you will be tested in.

How long is the final assessment?

It has 35 questions in 40 minutes, drawn at random from all five topics, so every attempt is different. Score 80% or more to unlock the certificate.

Ist die Bescheinigung akkreditiert oder offiziell anerkannt?

Nein. Es ist eine private Teilnahmebescheinigung, nur für Ihr Wissen. Sie ist von keiner Behörde, Zulassungsstelle, Aufsichtsbehörde oder Bildungseinrichtung anerkannt, akkreditiert oder genehmigt und ersetzt keine gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Lizenz, Zertifizierung oder Ausbildung.
