Can people take TCF/TEF to improve their résumé?
Bonjour,
Can I take the French TCF/TEF tests for fun and to improve my resume, instead of taking it for reasons like naturalization and immigration?
Thanks in advance!

Bonjour,
The TCF and TEF are two different tests. The TCF is made by CIEP and the TEF by CCI. If you choose one only, then you should choose TCF. TCF and TEF are both certificates, so after 2 years, you need to pass the exam again if you need for professional or study purpose. You can use it for your resume but DELF-DALF seems more appropriate.
You still have the choice of DELF DALF because it's a diploma but if I remember, it is considered as a certificate in Canada and as a diploma in France. Most of the people who passed the DEFL-DALF with me wanted it to study in France or to work.
I am an examiner for TEF and DELF-DALF but not for TCF so I couldn't tell you what is the difference between the TCF and TEF. I think it's quite similar but for TEF, you need to choose between TEF Canada, Québec, études, naturalisation or carte de résident. For TCF, you can choose almost the same but you also can choose to pass the exam for personal reasons. If you only can pass a TEF, choose the TEF naturalization instead of TEF carte de résident because the test is from A1 to C2 (we use the same paper to correct than the TEF Canada and Québec). TEF carte de résident is only to test the language for A2 so if you are A2 level it's ok but if you are more than A2, it's a problem.
You still can pass the DFP, it's a diploma for professional french. I don't know if it is acknowledged in Canada.
I hope it's understandable.
Good luck with your exam
