Thanks @smash1984
for clarify you mean both TEF and TEF Canada will be accepted for express entry program?
did i get correct?
@smash1984
just let me i add
i selected as second language
in this case still both TEF and TEF Canada valid ? or no one of them ?
So are you claiming points for both English and French?
If so, is there any difference between TEF and TEF Canada? As far as I understand, or at least it used to be the case that TEF Canada had some sections of the test that were optional that were not optional in TEF. So I suppose TEF should work for TEF Canada.

Thanks too much sir for your reply
yes ,i claim for both of them
my question exact is there any sensible[tef OR tef canada] different for this system ?!
so in another query from me also some guys replied both of them can be accepted
i asked because in drop down list is showed TEF Canada
thanks and regards
Yes I believe you are fine. As I understand TEF Canada has one section less compared to the TEF test and hence your TEF test can be used for TEF Canada.
So yes, go ahead and use both English and French and you may furnish TEF scores for TEF Canada.
@smash1984 thanks i was happy while see your reply for confirming this
but in other thread i asked about difficulty , but also i get answered related to this query

I still think it will be acceptable. How many sections does the TEF have? How many does TEF Canada have?@smash1984 thanks i was happy while see your reply for confirming this

From what I read TEF has an additional section of french grammar that is not required for TEF Canada.
Look up the tests themselves and compare them. You will see what I am talking about.
refer to this thread as well

Hello again and apologize for bringing up this discussion again
because it was important for me to fully understand which French language test will be accepted for Express entry system
as i've searched yet , Canada wants all 4 skills as a compulsory skills (speaking+reading+writing+listening)
with giving 2 optional sections from TEF (writing and speaking) i think we change TEF to exact what Express entry asked .
as a result i think TEF Canada is same TEF with 2 extra mandatory sections
because it was important for me to fully understand which French language test will be accepted for Express entry system
as i've searched yet , Canada wants all 4 skills as a compulsory skills (speaking+reading+writing+listening)
- TEF has 2 optional and 2 compulsory sections / TEF Canada has 4 compulsory Sections
- Express Entry asked for all sections (mandatory)
- because of this they do not mention TEF + that optional exams
with giving 2 optional sections from TEF (writing and speaking) i think we change TEF to exact what Express entry asked .
as a result
i think TEF Canada is same TEF with 2 extra mandatory sections 
I think you should just contact potential exam centers (as I recall it is only Alliance Francaise) and ask whether they conduct the TEF Canada. I would avoid trying to just do the sections separately - immigration is complicated enough without innovationHello again and apologize for bringing up this discussion again

SO
- TEF has 2 optional and 2 compulsory sections / TEF Canada has 4 compulsory Sections
- Express Entry asked for all sections (mandatory)
- because of this they do not mention TEF + that optional exams
with giving 2 optional sections from TEF (writing and speaking) i think we change TEF to exact what Express entry asked .

You also have an option to do the TCF (but the option came after I did the TEF, so don't know much about it). I'm sure you've seen this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=998&top=29I live in Bangkok, but had the choice of going to Vietnam or Singapore to do the TEF Canada (and yes, it was specifically given as TEF Canada, and everyone there was doing it for immigration). My local AF said they don't do it. I would say that, compared to IELTS, the frequency of the test is low (I think it was 4 times a year or something in Singapore) and the results can take some time.
Bon chance!

something you pointed not clear to me let me i clarify with you
1-you did TEF exam ? if yes did you give all sections (include compulsory and optional)
so what happened does IRCC accepted your TEF ?or you didn't mention ?
2-what you mean by your local AS said do not do it? what task he/she advise you ?
3-what you mean by low frequency ?
4-so you meant i have to verify with Language organizer(in my country we don't have alliance) ?but in this case in my country TEF and TEF Canada held ...i think you mean i ask whether i can give optional sections or NOT?please clear it for me
or i think better if possible i verify with IRCC
finally you mean just TEF with optional can be accepted or not
@aamool why i ask you word by word because about this thread there are really different ideas!!still i am confused i don't know how i can solve it
