How to choose a TEF Canada preparation website

1. Start with the free official material. The samples from Le français des affaires show the exact format of the tests. Each section is explained in our TEF Canada guide, and the schedule in our 4-week preparation plan.
2. For writing and speaking, look for feedback on your own answers. Listening and reading are marked automatically; writing and speaking need someone, or something, to read your text or hear your answer. According to their sites, Mocko, TCF TEF Prep, TCF TEF Study, TEF Practice and TCF Canada Coach, our product, give AI feedback on writing and speaking. Ciel Language Academy and Toronto French Academy have a teacher correct your work, in paid classes; TEF Canada Online advertises courses with in-depth corrections. TEF Trainer gives a model answer per topic, and Canada Exam Prep says its tools do not correct. Levels from these tools are estimates: for IRCC, only your official result counts.
3. Subscription or one-time payment. TEF Practice is paid weekly or monthly and can be cancelled at any time; TEF Trainer monthly, with cancellation, or for 3 months with no renewal, and it does not refund; Mocko shows weekly, monthly and 3-month prices; Toronto French Academy bills its courses monthly. PrepMyFuture, TCF TEF Prep, TCF TEF Study and TCF Canada Coach are paid once; TEF Canada Online sells access for 7 to 60 days. Start from your test date to pick the length.
4. Compare in one currency. The prices in the table are in Canadian dollars, US dollars or euros, and three sites show only the $ sign without stating the currency: convert at today’s rate. Discount codes are left out; when a site shows a reduced price next to a crossed-out one, the table gives the reduced price.
5. Be wary of “predicted” topics. Some offers mention “predictions” or current topics. Le français des affaires states that test content is confidential and that candidates must produce original work, not a memorised text; plagiarism is sanctioned. Preparation that teaches you to handle any topic protects you better.

How we checked

• When and how. On 4 November 2026 we opened each platform’s website in a browser: home page, pricing page and TEF Canada pages. We created no account, bought nothing and signed in nowhere: the table describes what the platforms state, not what we tested.
• The two sites we could not check. formation-tef.com showed a 503 error and tefcanada.ca would not open from our computer. We write “Not checked” rather than repeat prices found elsewhere, and we will try again at the next check.
• Prices. As displayed that day, without conversion; promo codes are left out. PrepMyFuture shows a price based on the country you browse from: we give the Canadian and the French one. TCF TEF Study says regional rates apply automatically. Prices may have changed since.
• Which platforms. The sites ChatGPT named on 4 November 2026 when asked to compare TEF Canada preparation websites or to find free tests, plus the official body and our product. Other sites exist: the list is not exhaustive.
• Order and independence. Le français des affaires first, then alphabetical: this is not a ranking. We have no commercial relationship with these platforms. TCF Canada Coach is our product and is labelled as such.
• Updates. We re-check the table every month. Spotted an error or a price change? Write to us from the contact page.
