The Problem

Why most immigrants struggle with the TCF Canada

It's rarely about your French. It's about how you're forced to study.

🌍

Everything is in French

You spend half your time decoding the explanation in a language you're still learning, instead of actually absorbing the content.

🇬🇧

Or only in English

Other platforms assume you're already fluent in English. Most newcomers aren't — and translating in your head doubles the effort.

📚

Scattered materials

You find questions on YouTube, blogs, PDFs, forums. Nothing connects. You spend more time organizing than studying.

📅

Slots fill in hours

TCF Canada centers open slots without warning. By the time you hear about it, they're gone. Your timeline slips by months.

In Your Language

Study in the language you actually think in

Every question, audio transcript, and grammar note translated into the 6 most-spoken immigrant languages in Canada. More on the way.

Our Story

Built by people who've walked this exact path

🌎

TCF Lab was born from real frustration. As immigrants who chose Canada, we went through the TCF — and discovered that all the important materials were scattered across French-language sites, random YouTube videos, and disorganized forums.

Worse: everything assumed you already spoke either fluent French or fluent English. For most of us — newcomers from China, India, Latin America, the Philippines, the Middle East, Brazil — that was never true.

So we built what was missing. One place. Your language. Your method. A modern practice app, translations into the languages immigrants actually speak, AI-graded writing, and a community of people who get it because they're living it.

It's not just another course. It's the full path we wish we'd had — built by people who understand where you are, because we were there too.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know English to use TCF Lab?
The platform interface is in English, but every question, audio transcript, grammar note, and explanation is translated into your selected native language. You only need enough English to navigate menus — and we keep the interface as simple as possible for that exact reason.
How long does it take to be ready for the TCF?
It depends on your starting level. If you're at B1 and study 1 hour daily, you typically reach NCLC 7 in 4-6 months. If you start at A2, it usually takes 6-9 months. That's why we offer the 6-month plan as the best value — it's a realistic timeline for most learners.
What if my language isn't in the list?
We launched with the 6 most-spoken immigrant languages in Canada. When you sign up, you can vote for which language we add next. Vietnamese, Hindi, Russian, Ukrainian, Korean and Farsi are already on our roadmap.
Does the app work on my phone?
Yes. TCF Lab is a responsive web platform that runs in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) on desktop, tablet, or phone. Your progress syncs across devices automatically.
Can I cancel anytime?
On the monthly plan, yes — cancel directly in your account at any time, no penalty. You keep access until the end of the cycle you've paid for. On prepaid plans (3 and 6 months), payment is one-time and access is guaranteed for the period, with no auto-renewal.
How much do I pay in my local currency?
Prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD). Stripe automatically converts to your card's currency at checkout and shows the final amount before you confirm. For reference: CA$ 29.99 ≈ US$ 22, €20, ₹1,900, ¥160, ₱1,250 (rates fluctuate).
What if I don't pass?
We focus on making sure you're truly ready before exam day. Use the timed Mock Exams to verify your NCLC is solid. If you need to keep studying afterward, simply renew or pick up a new plan — no fine print.
