Exam preparation for the TEF and TCF Canada, taught in Surrey by a native French-Canadian instructor. In person at King George Station, or online.
A strong French result can move a profile substantially in the Comprehensive Ranking System, and French-language proficiency draws are held separately from general draws. For most applicants the target is CLB 7 — which on the TEF Canada means clearing a defined band in all four skills, not just the ones you find easy.
That last part is where most self-study fails. Candidates arrive strong in reading and comprehension, then lose the profile on Expression Orale because nobody ever made them speak under exam conditions. Every MaxFrench course is built around all four modules from the first class.
Point values and draw rules are set by IRCC and change periodically — confirm current requirements on the official IRCC site before making decisions about your application.
The TEF Canada tests four separate skills and reports four separate scores. We train them as four separate disciplines.
Québécois and European accents, exam-speed audio, and the question patterns that repeat across sittings.
Timed comprehension on the document types the exam actually uses — notices, ads, articles, correspondence.
Section A and Section B practised live, recorded, and corrected. The module that decides most results.
Both writing tasks, marked against the official criteria, returned with the specific errors costing you points.
You should be able to work out what this costs before you call anyone.
Every student starts with a free placement assessment — a short conversation and a written sample, so you're placed at the right level and given a realistic estimate of how many hours you need. No charge, no obligation.
Larger schools assign you whoever is free that term. At MaxFrench there is one instructor, and you will have him for every class — which means the person correcting your writing in week nine remembers the mistakes you were making in week one.
French is my mother tongue, not my second language. That's the difference you hear in the speaking module.
Classes are held at King's Cross on King George Boulevard — a few minutes from King George SkyTrain Station, with parking on site. If you work in Surrey, Delta, or Langley, this is a class you can actually get to after work.
Online classes run in parallel for students elsewhere in British Columbia.
