Every figure comes from IRCC and the two exam bodies, checked before each session. No sales pitch in the middle.
IRCC accepts both equally. The formats, timing and marking differ, and one usually suits you better. How they compare.

Your details stay with Toronto French Academy. No spam, ever.
Yes. There is no fee, no card and no obligation. It is the same briefing our program lead gives new students, opened to the public once a month.
No. The session is in English and is built for people starting from zero as much as for those already at B1. The free level assessment afterwards tells you where you stand.
No. Forty-five minutes cover the exams, scores, CRS points, booking and timelines, then fifteen minutes of open questions. If you want classes afterwards, you can book a demo class; if not, you leave with a plan.
The session is live so that questions can be answered on the spot. Registrants receive the slides and the prep sheet by email afterwards.
IRCC treats them equally. Most candidates find TCF Canada slightly easier; TEF suits strong writers and confident speakers, or whichever has earlier dates. The session walks through the choice. TEF vs TCF.
