TEF

Test d'évaluation du français



The Different Versions of the TEF

We offer two versions of the TEF: TEF Canada and the general TEF. Most candidates will want to take the TEF Canada. You should only take the general TEF if it is specifically required, or if you need the Lexique & Structure section. If you are applying for Permanent residency or Canadian Citizenship, you MUST take the TEF Canada.

The Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEF) is a reliable instrument for measuring your skills in French and is a widely recognized test offered by the Paris Chamber of Commerce (CCIP).
