TCF Canada — the road to NCLC 7

The TCF Canada is the exam Immigration Canada recognizes for Express Entry. Your score converts directly into an NCLC level — and NCLC 7 is the milestone that changes everything for your application.

What the oral exam really asks

1
Monologue — ± 2 min
Describe, interpret, give a personal opinion on an everyday theme.
2
Interaction — ± 3 min
React to a concrete situation: inform clearly, justify, propose.
3
Point of view — ± 3 min
Defend an opinion on a society topic: opinion, arguments, example, conclusion.
Our TCF method — natural, structured
Give your opinion → justify with two arguments → one concrete example from your own life → nuance (certes… cependant) → conclude, with an opening. Trained until it's second nature.

La route PR — three étapes per level

Each CEFR level (A1, A2, B1…) is a road of three étapes — e.g. A1.1, A1.2, A1.3 — 4 weeks and $400 each, with the level exam prep at the end of the third. You commit to one étape at a time, never the whole journey at once.

A1.1 · Départ $400 · 4 weeks
A1.2 · En route $400 · 4 weeks
A1.3 · Arrivée + exam prep $400 · 4 weeks
Route complète — 3 étapes upfront: $1,000 (save $200)
In a hurry? The Accéléré track doubles the pace — 4 sessions per week, each étape in 2 weeks instead of 4. Same price.
Free placement assessment before your first étape. EUR accepted.

Program 2 · Fonction publique fédérale

Where are you on your federal road?

Not everyone starts at the same place. Three routes — each built around your current level and your target profile.

Route A
Starting from scratch

No French background, aiming for a bilingual position (level B) within 18 to 24 months. We start at A1 and move forward — one étape at a time, no big leap, no overwhelm.

Estimated journey: 12 étapes · A1 through B2
$400 per étape, one at a time
Route B
Some French → Level B

A foundation, but no SLE pass yet. Four focused étapes, one clear target — Level B in 4 months.

Départ · B1 foundations $400
En route · B1–B2 precision $400
Approche · B2 exam strategy $400
Arrivée · SLE mocks — Level B $400
Route complète — 4 étapes upfront: $1,300 (save $300)
Route C
Level B → Level C

You've passed B and you're targeting management or leadership roles. Four étapes stand between you and Level C.

Départ · C1 abstract reasoning $400
En route · Hypotheticals & nuance $400
Approche · Leadership register $400
Arrivée · SLE mocks — Level C $400
Route complète — 4 étapes upfront: $1,300 (save $300)
In a hurry? Take the Accéléré track.
4 sessions per week instead of 2 — each étape in 2 weeks instead of 4, Route B or C complete in 2 months. Same price. Same content. Twice as fast.

Why prepare with us

1
We train the exam, not just French
The SLE oral evaluation has its own format, its own question logic, its own expectations. Knowing French isn't enough — you need to know the exam. We do.
2
Coaches who know federal language training from the inside
Our team has taught public servants for years — they know exactly what evaluators listen for at Levels A, B and C. We've been in those rooms. We know what passes and what doesn't.
3
Mock evaluations under real conditions
You walk into the real SLE having already passed it several times with us — same format, same pressure, honest feedback. No surprises on exam day.
Built for your target profile
Level B — the requirement for most bilingual positions. Solid, structured answers that check every box. Four étapes. Four months. One result.
Level C — the profile for management and leadership roles. Abstract reasoning, hypotheticals, nuance — the skills that separate C from B. A career-defining result.
Keeping your level — re-testing soon? One targeted Arrivée étape gets you back to exam shape fast. $400. Four weeks.
"The difference between falling short at B and passing at C is rarely vocabulary. It's strategy — knowing what the evaluator needs to hear, and delivering it calmly."
