DELF vs TEF vs TCF: What Is the Difference?

These exams serve different purposes. TEF Canada and TCF Canada are French tests accepted by IRCC for Canadian immigration pathways such as Express Entry. DELF is a French-language diploma organised through France Éducation international.

Think purpose first

• Canada immigration: check whether TEF Canada or TCF Canada is the approved test for your pathway.
• French diploma: DELF is level-specific and can be useful when you need a diploma rather than an immigration language test.

Always check the current official authority for your specific application before registering.
