TCF Québec

Do you wish to immigrate to Quebec?

TCF Quebec is recognised by the Quebec Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration (MIFI) for immigration procedures to this Canadian province.
As an accredited centre, Alliance Française de Kunming supports you at every stage: information, choice of components, test preparation and administration, in a secure environment that complies with MIFI requirements.

TCF Quebec is intended for any person aged 16 years and over, regardless of nationality or mother tongue, who wishes to:

• Submit an immigration application to the Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration (MIFI) of Quebec.
• Obtain a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) in order to obtain permanent residence.
• Obtain Quebec citizenship (under certain conditions).

No exemptions are granted for TCF Quebec.

• Arrive on time and at the location indicated on your admission notice
  (any late arrival will result in non-admission with no refund, except in exceptional cases justified within one month.)
• Present a valid identity document with photograph
  (identity card, passport, driving licence, asylum application receipt, etc.)
• Sign the attendance sheet as required.
• A photograph is taken for TCF Quebec candidates.

• Place all personal belongings (only admission notice, identification and blue or black pen are permitted).
• The invigilator reminds you of the instructions (nature of the tests, duration, penalties for cheating, results date).

• Use of unauthorised materials is prohibited (books, mobile phones, headphones, etc.).

Tests may be taken on paper or on computer (TCF SO), depending on the centre's equipment.

The contents, duration and assessment procedures are strictly identical.

• Results are sent to the examination centre within 15 working days after receipt of materials by France Éducation International.
• The candidate must collect their certificate directly from the centre.

• Validity: the certificate is valid for 2 years from the date of issue.

TCF Canada and TCF Quebec assess the same language skills: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking and writing. However, their purpose differs: TCF Canada is required for immigration proceedings to all Canadian provinces, whilst TCF Quebec is specifically intended for candidates immigrating to the province of Quebec.

TCF Quebec also presents an important feature: its modularity. Unlike TCF Canada, for which all components are compulsory, TCF Quebec allows candidates to choose only the components necessary according to the specific requirements of their immigration application. This flexibility addresses the cultural, administrative and linguistic realities specific to the province of Quebec.
