TEF Canada Prep 2026

Prepare for TEF Canada with practice tests, timed mocks and an estimated NCLC level per skill. TEF Canada is a French test IRCC accepts for Express Entry, permanent residence and citizenship. Start free with 80 questions; Premium unlocks all 1,600.

Independent study app. Does not represent any government entity, including IRCC, or the test publishers. Unofficial. Not affiliated with France Éducation International or CCI Paris Île-de-France.

Reading and listening
800 reading and 800 listening questions (1,600 in all), harder as you go. Every answer choice is explained in English or French. Listening audio (synthetic French and Canadian French voices) works offline, with the transcript after you answer. Missed or guessed questions come back in review.

Writing and speaking
Sections A and B are timed, with model answers at NCLC 7 and 9. In speaking an AI examiner plays the other person: you ask for information in section A and convince in section B. Your speech is transcribed on your phone, or you can type. Optional AI feedback gives a level per criterion, your top three fixes, sentence corrections and an improved version.

Vocabulary and topics of the month
A vocabulary book of 16 themes and 480 words, with examples and Canadian usage notes. More than 60 writing and 60 speaking tasks, with new topics every month.

Mock exams and NCLC levels
20 full timed mock exams in the official format (listening 40 questions in 40 min, reading 40 in 60 min, writing sections A and B in 60 min, speaking A and B in about 15 min), with results per section and an estimated NCLC range based on IRCC's table for the "Équivalence ancien score" on your TEF Canada certificate (not the Score / 699). The French bonus CRS points and French-language draws need NCLC 7 in all four skills. Only official results count for immigration.

Privacy
No account: your progress stays on your phone. Your voice is never recorded or uploaded, and no voiceprint is created. AI feedback is off until you ask for it: a pop-up shows what is sent (your text or transcript and the task) and where (the NCLC Ready server, then Google's Gemini models on Vertex AI, possibly in the United States or other Google Cloud locations). Google does not train on it and we keep nothing. No ads or tracking. Optional usage statistics, off unless you allow them. Delete everything in Settings > Privacy Center.

Free plan and Premium
Free: a starter pack of 80 reading and listening questions at every level (10 a day per skill), the level check, one mock section per skill, 4 writing and 4 speaking tasks with model answers, the vocabulary book and a sample of AI feedback.
Premium: every question with no daily limit, every full mock exam, every writing and speaking task, AI feedback on writing and speaking (weekly fair-use limits) and the AI examiner. Plans of 1, 3 or 12 months, billed through Google Play. When a free trial is offered, Google Play shows its terms before you confirm. Cancel any time in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions.
