What is TEF Canada & Why Do You Need It?

The Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEF Canada) is an official exam designed to assess your French proficiency for immigration to Canada and permanent residency applications. 

💡 Why does it matter? The higher your TEF Canada score, the more points you earn for Express Entry, the Quebec Skilled Worker Program, and other immigration pathways.

📊 TEF Canada Scoring – How Is It Graded?

Your TEF Canada score determines your CEFR level (A1 to C2):

400 – 499B2Upper Int.

600 – 699C2Near Native

How Many Immigration Points Can You Get?

Here’s an example of how TEF Canada can boost your Express Entry score:

👤 Candidate 1: English only – CRS score: 420
👤 Candidate 2: English + B2 in French – CRS score: 470 ✅ (Higher chance for PR!)
