TEF Canada · 2026

Did TEF Canada change? (Yes — the real September 2025 reform)

✅ Changed — Yes, but in September 2025, not "2026." The listening and reading sections were simplified to 40 questions each; writing and speaking were unchanged. This one is real and official — unlike the TCF "AI reform" myth.

What actually changed

  • Since 1 September 2025: Listening 40 questions / 40 min and Reading 40 questions / 60 min (down from the old 60/50). Writing (2 tasks) and Speaking (2 tasks) are unchanged. Every skill reports on the 0–699 scale.
  • Many stale guides still describe the dead 60-question format — see our dedicated write-up for the confirmed-vs-reported details.
