FAQs

Can I only do the Oral Comprehension (CO) and Oral Expression (EO) modules?

The CCFO only offers the option of taking the TEF Canada exam with 4 modules.

If you wish to take two TEF sections, you must send an email to Sophia (marketing@leccfo.org) specifying which modules you wish to take and which ones you do not after you have purchased your exam date. Alternatively, you can inform your examiner on the day of your exam which modules you will not be taking. You will be marked absent for those modules.

Please note that you will still have to pay the full TEF exam fee, even if you choose not to take two modules.

Is there a mailing list?

Yes. You can register for it here .

Can I know the exact day and hour that the dates will be put up on the website?

Please register for the mailing list if you wish to stay informed on our exam dates for the TEF Canada.

I no longer want to take my TEF exam. Can I get reimbursed?

We do not offer refunds for exams. If you no longer wish to keep your seat, please let us know so we can release it for someone else.

I am no longer available for my exam date. Can I get my exam deferred?

If you are unable to attend your exam for medical reasons, please inform us and provide proof with a medical certificate. Your exam can only be rescheduled after approval from the CCI Paris.

Can I get my results reevaluated?

The CCFO is not involved in the exam grading. All of it is done by the CCI Paris. Please visit their website for more information.

How do I request special arrangements for my exam?

There are a number of ways in which the TEF Canada can be made accessible to candidates with disabilities or who are affected by digital illiteracy.

To obtain a special accommodation, you must submit a medical certificate to your test center before registration, in which your doctor:

explains the nature of your disability,
makes recommendations for test design.

If the test center determines that you are affected by digital illiteracy, it can offer you assistance and/or accommodations (e.g. a manual written expression test).

Le français des affaires examines the possibility of a specific adjustment to the test conditions as soon as possible and informs the test center.

In the event of exemption from one or more tests, you will only be billed for the tests actually taken.

At what time will the exam take place?

The exam generally takes place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Doors will open at 8:55 a.m.

Your schedule will be sent to you at least 10 days before your exam date.
