Hi,

Could anyone pl help me with this info:

Which of the 2 tests I have to clear in order to achieve the French language points under the Express Entry system - TEF (Test d'Evaluation de Français) or DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or both ?

For express entry, only TEF is accepted.

And you can do TEF Canada which has one test less (syntax part) then regular TEF.

On the website it says this:

French

TEF: Test d’évaluation de français

You must submit results from these TEF tests as proof of your French language skills:

compréhension de l’écrit
compréhension de l’orale
expression écrite
expression orale

Also congratulations on learning French. I am trying to do the same but only my speaking is good. Listening and Writing is not so good.

I speak French since a very long time, but my writing is not that good. I managed to pass speaking, reading and listening with CLB 9, but I missed writing, so lost some points. Still I got OINP nomination thanks to TEF so I can't complain. :)
