About the TEF
The TEF is used to assess French comprehension and expression skills in people who are not native French speakers. It can be used for Quebec Immigration purposes and is the only French language test accepted for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP).
In most cases, TEF is mandatory to prove French language ability in the following cases:
To Immigrate to Canada and become a Canadian citizen
To immigrate to the Canadian province of Quebec
To study in France (TEF for studies in France)
To obtain citizenship in France (TEF for Naturalization)
To certify one’s French language ability for work; and
To enrol in certain programs and study abroad as an international student
The test consists of three written sections: reading comprehension, written expression and vocabulary and sections. The test also consists of two oral sections: listening comprehension and oral expression. Depending on your situation, some sections may be optional. Each section can vary between 15, 40 or 60 minutes.
Finally, the cost of the TEF depends on the location where the test is being given.
