TCF Canada Test Fee and Registration Cost in 2026
There is no single Canada-wide final price for every city. France Éducation international's 2026 tariff lists 98 euros per candidate as the TCF Canada base tariff, but the amount paid to a centre can vary with country, currency, tax, venue, and administration fees. Confirm the centre's final price and dates before booking.
What the 98-euro tariff means
The 98-euro 2026 tariff is the base amount due to France Éducation international. It is not a universal all-in price for Canadian candidates; a local centre may add taxes, venue, administration, or payment costs.
Why centre prices differ
Authorized centres schedule sessions and collect payment in their local currency. The final price, dates, rescheduling rules, and service charges must be confirmed with the centre that will administer the exam.
Check these details before payment
Use the official centre directory, confirm that the session is TCF Canada rather than TCF Québec, ask whether all four components are included, and verify the tax-inclusive price, date, and result-delivery method.
Using the result for Express Entry
IRCC lists TCF Canada as an accepted French test. Results generally must be less than two years old when you create an Express Entry profile and submit a permanent-residence application; the fee does not replace NCLC or program requirements.
