Hi,

From this thread:

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/tef-canada-tef.452481/

I saw that CIC accepts TEF + the written and oral portion of the TEF exam. Is the same true for TCF if you take the TCF exam (rather than the TCF Canada exam if it is unavailable) + the written and oral portion of the exam?

Thanks in advance!
Stay on the safe side and take the TEF CANADA or TCF CANADA.
Based on CIC rules, only these two are accepted.

Hi guys,
just wanted to consult you in regards to TEF/TCF. in your opinion which one is better between TEF and TCF. I have done TEF couple of 2 times and I got 2C1 and 2B2 but unfortunately its not enough. As TEF is quite challenging, do you think TCF is more easier or the same and does it have an advantage compared to TEF?

looking forward to your earliest suggestions

thanks
Akshay

Did you get the bonus 30 points? B2 should get you that

@orwell46 no I didn't get any bonus. I was not aware that even with TEF you get bonus points.
I will calculate my CRS again and see if I get any bonus points.
but in your opinion which is better to do? which one has a better scope of scoring better points?

For EE they only accept TCF Canada or TEF Canada. They will refuse the PR application if you submit TCF or TEF "tout public" results (like they refused mine last month :( )

I have taken the TCF tout public and the TEF Canada, I found the TCF slightly easier, notably the reading and listening sections. My wife (French) also got a higher score on the TCF.
