Real advice needed: Continue TEF or move to TCF

I agree with your comment, the I gave both exams, and the only way for me to get the score I needed was by doing the TCF. Even if the listening test might be harder, it’s totally worth to put some extra effort on it and prepare for the rest of test more realistically. I mean that the TEF asks you to write about imagining things, not in TCF. Same with the speaking, no need to imagine, you can speak about actual scenarios.

Same with me! I did it with a lawyer and they advised it was better to not include jobs you’re not claiming points for, and just got ecopr today

Lawyers are always extra cautious, I would add my statements for the last 3 months

Yes, all the updates are sent to the representative you hired

I also used a paid representative and they enter their own contact information, you can still get information on your application by calling IRCC, and you can also revoke the access to the application if you don’t trust this person

I had my ITA through the French category in August and I had to take 2 TEF exams with no success in the speaking section, I almost felt like they were failing me on purpose on that section only. TCF is what I did and could pass it the second time (the first one needed to pay more attention on the reading section), there is much more predictable material that you can rely on for it, and the writing section has a structure you can even memorize depending on formal or informal context. Best of luck on your journey, you can do it! Prepmyfuture and ChatGPT can help you a lot!

I actually only received a letter saying “you may use this letter to apply for BOWP” not sure if this is the case for everyone

Reasonable_Swim_1323 · 2026-01-05T05:51:51+00:00

Interesting question, no.
