NEW DESIGNATED FRENCH LANGUAGE TESTING ORGANIZATION

November 7, 2018

As of November 7, 2018, the Test de connaissance du français pour le Canada (TCF Canada), administered by the Centre international d’études pédagogiques(CIEP) (available in French only), is now accepted by Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

The program delivery instructions have been updated to include the new designation of the CIEP and the new TCF Canada French test as applicable to permanent residence applications.

The equivalencies between the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (for French language testing) and the TCF Canada results have been established and included in the language test equivalency charts.
