Practise the TCF Canada speaking and writing tests with an AI examiner
Talk to an examiner that listens and asks follow-up questions. Write the three tasks against the clock. Get a score on the 0-20 scale with its CEFR and NCLC levels, a note on each criterion, and the two or three changes that would raise it most.
Free: one speaking task and one writing task, with full feedback. Then $39.99 USD once for 90 days.
Scores are an AI estimate, not an official result.
How it works
Speaking: 3 tasks, 12 minutes
- Guided interview: no preparation, 2 min. The examiner asks about you: your background, your work, your plans.
- Interaction: 2 min preparation, 3 min 30 s. You act out an everyday situation, and you ask the examiner the questions.
- Giving your point of view: no preparation, 4 min 30 s. You give and defend your opinion on a topic, with no preparation. The examiner may interrupt to ask about your arguments.
Use your microphone in the browser. The examiner speaks the questions aloud and replies to what you say.
Writing: 3 tasks, 60 minutes
- Message: 60 to 120 words. A message that describes, tells or explains something to one or more people.
- Article, letter or post: 120 to 150 words. An article, letter or note to several readers: an account of an experience, with your comments and arguments.
- Comparing two points of view: 120 to 180 words. You compare two points of view on a social issue, given in two documents, then give your own opinion.
A timer and a live word count keep you inside the official limits.
The score you get
Speaking and writing are each scored out of 20. The score maps to a CEFR level (France Éducation international's grid) and to the NCLC level Immigration Canada uses for Express Entry points.
| Score /20 | CEFR | NCLC |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 | – |
| 2–5 | A2 | 4 |
| 6–9 | B1 | 5, 6 |
| 10–13 | B2 | 7, 8 |
| 14–17 | C1 | 9, 10+ |
| 18–20 | C2 | 10+ |

Questions
Is this the official test?
No. It is practice written to the published format of the TCF Canada. Prompts are our own. Scores are an AI estimate, not an official result.
How accurate is the score?
It follows the published criteria and level grid, but it is an estimate. We say how we check it on the About the AI page.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in a recent browser with a microphone. You can also type your spoken answers if you have no microphone.
