About CaTCF
I sat TCF Canada four times. Listening, Reading and Writing cleared the threshold each time; Speaking did not. My four Speaking results were 9, 5, 9 and 9 before a successful score review changed the final result to 13, or B2.
I took the exams between October 2025 and February 2026. Speaking was the only section that kept falling short, including a 5 on my second attempt. After the fourth result came back as another 9, I requested a third score review.
The review changed that result from 9 to 13. My CRS score moved from 413 to 479, and I received an invitation through a French-language Express Entry draw two days later. The full timeline includes the hard parts as well as the result.
Read the full exam timelineI repeated the Listening and Reading material many times, recorded my Speaking practice, and kept rewriting my answers. CaTCF grew from that routine: French questions stay at the centre, while English explanations and review tools help you understand what to change next.
Writing and Speaking include AI feedback for practice. It can help you review structure, vocabulary and delivery, but it is not an official TCF score.
