Question 1

How long are TCF Canada scores valid?

Accepted Answer

TCF Canada results are valid for 2 years. For Express Entry, they must be less than 2 years old both when you complete your profile and when you submit your application for permanent residence, so plan your test date with your application timeline in mind.

Question 2

How long must I wait between two TCF Canada exams?

Accepted Answer

A waiting period applies between two attempts. Test centres indicate 20 days in 2026; it was previously 30 days. The rule is applied at registration, so confirm with your test centre before booking again.

Question 3

Which exam sections does LuckyTCF support?

Accepted Answer

LuckyTCF supports all four TCF Canada sections: Listening Comprehension (CO), Reading Comprehension (CE), Written Expression (EE), and Oral Expression (EO). Listening and reading each have 39 multiple-choice questions with a maximum score of 699. Writing and speaking sections feature AI-assisted practice and evaluation.

Question 4

Are the mock exam scores accurate?

Accepted Answer

Our mock exams use the CEFR-weighted scoring commonly used for the TCF (A1 = 3 points per question, A2 = 9 … C2 = 33), for a total of 699. The official formula is not published, so the score is an estimate for tracking your progress, not a prediction of your official result.

Question 5

What is the relationship between CEFR and CLB levels?

Accepted Answer

CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and CLB (Canadian Language Benchmarks) are two different language proficiency systems. Canadian immigration uses CLB levels, and TCF Canada scores map to CLB levels 4 through 10+. For example, a listening score of 458–502 corresponds to CLB 7, which is a common Express Entry requirement.

Question 6

What are 'Speed Mode' and 'Memorization Mode'?

Accepted Answer

Speed Mode: automatically advances to the next question when you answer correctly, boosting practice efficiency — ideal for exam sprints. Memorization Mode: hides incorrect options and shows only the correct answer, helping you memorize the right answers and solution strategies — ideal for review. The two modes are mutually exclusive and cannot be enabled simultaneously.

Question 7

How does the Mistake Tracker work?

Accepted Answer

Incorrect answers are automatically added to your Mistake Tracker with a cumulative error count. You can add personal notes, filter by CEFR level and category, or use the 'Mistakes Only' mode for targeted practice. When you feel you've mastered a question, you can manually remove it from the tracker.

Question 8

Which devices does LuckyTCF support?

Accepted Answer

It works on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone, open it in your browser and add it to your home screen to use it full screen like an app — no app store needed. On a computer, just use your browser. Data syncs automatically across all your devices via the cloud.

Question 9

How do I determine my target CLB level?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your immigration program requirements. Express Entry Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) typically requires CLB 7 (listening 458+, reading 453+), while some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) may require CLB 4–5. We recommend checking your specific program requirements and entering your target level in LuckyTCF settings.

Question 10

Are the translations and explanations accurate?

Accepted Answer

Our translations and explanations are produced collaboratively by professional French teachers and AI, available in both Chinese and English. Each question includes key vocabulary highlights, a brief explanation, and a detailed analysis to help you truly understand the material rather than relying on rote memorization.

Question 11

Can I extend my free access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Copy your personal link from the Invite Friends page in the app and share it. Each friend who signs up through it adds 30 days to your free access, up to 360 days in total. This also works after your free access has ended: a successful invite reopens it for 30 days from that day. Invites made while you have a paid subscription don't earn days.
