Where to take TCF Canada in the UAE, and how much it costs
Checked November 3, 2026
Dubai, we found no published price we could confirm, so ask Alliance Française Dubai. Abu Dhabi, 1,800 AED at Alliance Française Abu Dhabi, on computer, in its 2026 exam calendar read on 3 November 2026. Its last two TCF Canada sessions of 2026 are on 20 November (registration until 9 November) and 16 December (registration until 6 December).
Prices
| Centre | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| AF Abu Dhabi | 1,800 AED | 2026 calendar, on computer |
| AF Dubai | Not confirmed | Ask the centre |
AF stands for Alliance Française. The price covers the four tests together, since TCF Canada cannot be bought skill by skill (what the price covers).
Booking in Abu Dhabi
The centre’s TCF page says to register online. Its 2026 calendar lists these last two TCF Canada sessions of the year.
| Session | Registration |
|---|---|
| Friday 20 November 2026 | 1 October to 9 November |
| Wednesday 16 December 2026 | 15 October to 6 December |
Confirm the price and the date with the centre when you register.
Don’t confuse
- The 180 AED on the TCF page is a prep kit, not the exam.
- TCF tout public (900 AED) and TCF IRN (1,380 AED) sit on the same calendar line. Only TCF Canada counts for IRCC (TCF Canada or TCF tout public).
- TEF Canada is also 1,800 AED on the same calendar. It is the other French test IRCC accepts, with its own format (TCF or TEF).
Dubai
Alliance Française Dubai’s TCF Canada price was not available when we checked on 3 November 2026. Write to the centre for the price, the dates and the format (paper or computer). If you need a date before the end of 2026, Abu Dhabi has two, listed above.
Before you pay
- Check the centre is on FEI’s map of TCF centres. We only say Abu Dhabi lists TCF Canada in its own documents.
- If no session is free, see no date available.
