Canada · French test
Start with the free official samples. CCI Paris Île-de-France has TEF Canada samples, audio and video workshops for all four skills, and France Éducation international has TCF samples. If you want more, the apps, websites and courses below are ones people actually use. Many TCF apps share their names with TCF Bank, so check you’ve got the French test one. We checked prices and what’s free in October 2026.
