Frequently asked questions

The test, scores and how FreeTCF works

What is the TCF Canada?

The TCF Canada is a French proficiency test from France Éducation International, accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for immigration applications. It has four parts: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Listening and reading are multiple choice, 39 questions each, scored out of 699; writing and speaking are marked by examiners from 0 to 20.

How do TCF Canada scores convert to CLB / NCLC?

IRCC converts each skill's score to an NCLC level (the French CLB). For NCLC 7 you need 458 in listening, 453 in reading and 10 in writing and speaking; NCLC 9 needs 523, 524 and 14. FreeTCF uses this chart to show your CLB as soon as you submit a test.

Source: IRCC · Language test equivalency charts

Where do FreeTCF's questions come from?

The listening and reading questions are provided by our partner Réussir TCF Canada and organized by test format and A1–C2 level; FreeTCF adds explanations, transcripts with translation and key vocabulary to every question. Monthly writing and speaking predictions are compiled from test takers' feedback. FreeTCF is not an official product and is not affiliated with France Éducation International or IRCC.

Source: Réussir TCF CanadaAbout FreeTCF

What can I use for free?

With a free account: 2 listening and 2 reading tests with explanations, intensive listening and shadowing scores, the monthly writing and speaking predictions, 71 common speaking Tâche 1 questions, and your history, scores and mistake book. The full question bank needs Go; AI review, ideas and bank search need Pro.

Source: Plans

How accurate is the AI score?

The AI follows the TCF writing and speaking criteria (task, coherence, vocabulary, grammar) to give each answer an A1–C2 level, a score out of 20 and the matching CLB, so you can find problems and track progress. It is not an examiner's mark and does not replace an official result.

Is it the same account on the web and in the apps?

Yes. You sign in with the same account on the web, iPhone and Android; Go and Pro work in all three, and your history and cloud drafts stay in sync.
