Le Test d’Évaluation de Français pour l’accès au Québec (TEFaQ) is a general French test which aims to measure the candidate’s level of knowledge and ability in the French language.
The TEFAQ test is recognized by the Quebec Ministry for Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion (MIDI) and it is essential for an official immigration application.
The official TEFAQ Attestation shows the distribution of scores for each module taken along with detailed comments for the different competencies.

It is necessary to apply for a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ).
The TEFAQ, used to assess your oral and written competencies in French, consists of 4 modules. Each module can be taken independently.
