BC PNP accepts TCF Canada

The current Skills Immigration Program Guide lists TCF Canada and excludes TCF Quebec, TCF Integration, Residence, Nationality, and TCF tout public. Confirm the test version before booking.

TEER 2–5: CLB 4 in every ability

A job offer classified as NOC TEER 2, 3, 4, or 5 generally requires CLB 4 in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The BC PNP table gives TCF Canada minimums of listening 331, reading 342, writing 4, and speaking 4; each ability must meet the threshold.

TEER 0/1: language can improve registration points

For a TEER 0 or 1 job offer, valid language results are generally not required at registration unless you are claiming language points. If you claim them, provide the results at application; the BC PNP may also request a test during assessment. Points use the lowest CLB across the four abilities: 5 at CLB 4, 10 at CLB 5, 15 at CLB 6, 20 at CLB 7, 25 at CLB 8, and 30 at CLB 9+.

Validity, registration, and invitations

Language results are normally valid for two years from the date of issuance. They must be valid at registration and, when language is an application requirement, at application. Registration is free, stays in the pool for up to 12 months, and an invitation generally allows 30 calendar days to submit a complete application.

French-English points and fees

Additional points for both official languages may apply when both tests are valid, all four abilities reach CLB 4 on both tests, and both results are provided at application. The current worker application fee is $1,750 CAD; registration is free. Language alone does not guarantee an invitation or nomination.
