Prepare for TCF Canada: the writing test under real conditions
The 3 official tasks in 60 timed minutes, a justified /20 score and an estimate of your NCLC level — the number that matters for Immigration Canada.
What is TCF Canada?
TCF Canada is the French test accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence and citizenship. Your score converts to Canadian Language Benchmarks for French (NCLC): for Express Entry, reaching NCLC 7 or higher in every skill makes a major difference to your points.

NCLC 4-10
It's the hardest part to prepare alone: you need to write fast, structured, and know how examiners grade. BahOui reproduces the official format — 3 progressive tasks (60 to 180 words) in 60 minutes — then grades your copy task by task: /20 score, strengths, priorities, and key corrections explained.
Your NCLC estimate
Every graded test ends with an NCLC estimate (4 to 10) with a clearly stated ±1 margin. You know immediately whether you're at the level your application needs — without waiting for a $400 official sitting.
How much does it cost?
Your first mock TCF is free at signup, no card required. After that, each test costs €9.99 (advanced credit). Daily practice — AI conversation, lessons, exercises — stays free.
Frequently asked questions
What is NCLC 7 and why does everyone aim for it?
NCLC (Canadian Language Benchmarks for French) translate your TCF score for Immigration Canada. NCLC 7 in every skill is the threshold that unlocks maximum language points for Express Entry — the standard target for permanent residence candidates.
Is BahOui's NCLC estimate reliable?
Grading applies the official test criteria and converts the /20 score to NCLC with a displayed ±1 margin. It's a training tool: only an accredited centre issues an official attestation, but you know where you stand before paying for a sitting.
TCF Canada or TEF Canada: which one should I take?
Both are accepted by IRCC. TCF Canada is often seen as more straightforward on the writing test (3 clearly framed tasks). If you're preparing for the TCF, BahOui trains you on exactly that format.
