TEF EXPRESS is an excellent way to prepare effectively for the TEF Canada and reach your CLB 5 or CLB 7 goals, which are essential for many immigration programs. With a fast and targeted format, participants can strengthen their language skills, improve test strategies, and increase their chances of success. Several course options are available depending on your starting level, allowing each learner to progress efficiently and move closer to their Canadian immigration goals.
By enrolling in TEF EXPRESS, students take intensive classes from Tuesday to Friday, allowing them to be fully immersed in French language and Francophone cultures. As members of the Centre culturel francophone de l’Okanagan (CCFO), they also gain access to a wide range of resources:
Our classes are divided into levels based on two main language scales: the CEFR (used worldwide) and the CLB (used by Canadian immigration programs).
Here is a chart to help better understand the levels used by both CCFO and Immigration Canada:

|
CLB |
1 - 2 | 3 - 4 | 5 - 6 | 7 - 8 | 9 - 10 | 11 - 12 |
