TEF Canada
The Test d’Evaluation de Français (TEF) is a proficiency test that assesses the overall level in French of both native and non-native French speakers.
It is a proof of language ability by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for Canadian citizenship applications and permanent residence.
The Canadian government also accepts it for various Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), start-up visa programs, and applying as a self-employed worker.
TEF Canada exam structure
The test comprises four modules: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
The e-TEF is an online version where you can take the reading, writing, and listening modules on a computer at the designated test center. It can be advisable only for those who do not need to take the speaking section for any point calculation.
As part of an application for Canadian citizenship, speaking and listening parts are compulsory.
The format is as follows:
- Written comprehension (Reading): 60 minutes — 50 questions
- Written expression (Writing): 60 minutes — 2 topics
- Oral comprehension (Listening): 40 minutes — 60 questions

One can get a maximum of 50 points for the knowledge of French and is valid for two years from the date of the test result
