TEF Canada scores each skill on a 0 to 699 scale (since December 2023), converted to an NCLC level. From NCLC 7 up, each skill earns Express Entry CRS points (4 / 5 / 6 at NCLC 7 / 8 / 9+), so NCLC 7 in all four is the usual target.
NCLC 7 bands are estimates for planning. Always verify against the official IRCC equivalency tables.
The TEF syllabus, A1 to B2
The free course runs across CEFR A1, A2, B1 and B2, mapped to the NCLC scale. NCLC 7, the Express Entry target, sits at B2, and every lesson carries a TEF-specific exam tip.
