When and where is the TCF Canada exam in Chicoutimi?

UQAC’s official page lists December 3, 2026, for its TCF Canada sitting. The venue is Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, Pavillon principal, 555 boulevard de l’Université, Chicoutimi, Quebec, G7H 2B1. Identity checks begin at 8:30 a.m. EST (UTC−05:00), equivalent to 1:30 p.m. UTC on December 3. Candidates should allow the day for the examination. UQAC notes that examinations can occasionally extend over two days, so avoid scheduling tight travel or other commitments around the session.

The building address is published, but the specific room is not. UQAC says it will send the room by email during the week before the exam. Check the message carefully for the room assignment and any updated instructions; if you have not received it as the session approaches, contact the continuing education team using the details on the official page.

How do you register for the TCF Canada at UQAC?

Start at UQAC’s official TCF page and select the TCF Canada session and date. The page separates TCF Canada from TCF Québec, so make sure you choose the correct test. UQAC says payment must be completed before the registration email is sent. The listed individual test fees are C$90 for listening comprehension, C$90 for reading comprehension, C$120 for speaking, and C$115 for writing, taxes included. The TCF Canada includes all four sections, so the listed section fees total C$415.

1. Confirm that the December 3 session remains available on UQAC’s page.
2. Pay by credit card through the registration link for TCF Canada.
3. Immediately email fc_tcf@uqac.ca with a digital copy of your valid passport and an identity photo in JPEG format. UQAC specifies a minimum quality of 300 dpi for the photo.
4. State clearly that you are registering for TCF Canada and identify the December 3 session. UQAC also says the passport copy should be in color, either a photograph or scan.
5. Look for the payment acknowledgment in the email inbox used for registration, then check again during the week before the test for the session information and room.

UQAC says inability to complete payment means the group is full; in that case, check its page for later dates rather than sending documents for an unavailable session. The university also says that no cancellation or refund is available once the registration confirmation email has been received. Review the conditions before committing.

What should candidates bring, and what does the exam include?

Bring photo identification and the TCF convocation or confirmation email, either displayed on a phone or printed. UQAC states that candidates will also be photographed at the test center. Missing a required document can result in refusal of entry and a failing result, with another registration fee required to retake the test.

The TCF Canada has four compulsory sections: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking, and writing. UQAC lists the computer-based listening section at 35 minutes, reading at 60 minutes, and writing at 60 minutes. The individual speaking test lasts 12 minutes, including two minutes of preparation. The stated total examination time is 2 hours and 47 minutes, but the candidate should still reserve the day because identity checks, administration, and the number of candidates can affect the overall schedule.

What should candidates expect next?

The current official listing shows the December session, but availability and practical arrangements can change. Check UQAC’s page again before registration and keep the confirmation email. During the preceding week, look for the room assignment and any updated instructions; check spam or junk folders if the message is missing. These are practical steps based on UQAC’s stated email process, not a guarantee that a specific notification time will apply.

For preparation, review the format and timing of all four sections and practice French listening, reading, speaking, and writing. The registration process, fees, room notice, and exam structure described here come from UQAC’s official information, checked November 13, 2026.
