I am planning to give the TCF or TEF by April next year. I only know basic French and can barely hold a conversation. Which one should I go for, TCF or TEF? Does anyone know any reliable test prep material for either exam? Any thoughts or shared experiences will be much appreciated! I'm mostly doing this for immigration purposes
 
If your goal is immigration, compare the TCF and TEF formats and choose the one you can practice consistently; make sure your prep covers all four skills. For TCF Canada, NCLC 7 in speaking and writing is 10/20, so track those scores separately rather than relying on an overall impression. French-category CRS cutoffs have varied this year—391 (Aug 6), 382 (Aug 19), 435 in mid-October, and 407 on Oct 27 for 5,000 ITAs—so past draws are useful context, not a guarantee.
