E-TEF Canada is not a short-term project. It requires time to get prepared in order to obtain a sufficient score for your immigration application project. We recommend an intermediate/upper intermediate level in French (B1/B2) to take the E-TEF and obtain satisfactory results: Alliance Française de Lagos cannot be held accountable if a candidate does not reach her or his targeted level / score.
