By Augusto Grone · Updated 18 October 2026 · 5 min read

In Calgary, the TCF Canada is held by the Alliance Française de Calgary for $400, on computer, at its testing centre in the Kahanoff Centre (#315, 105 12 Avenue SE) — not at its office on 29th Avenue SW. Each session has 14 seats, first come, first served, and on 18 October 2026 every session from October to December was sold out; no 2027 date was published. The Alliance says it is «working with our partners in Paris to open additional sessions».

Getting a seat in Calgary

The Alliance publishes its dates on its TCF registration page — «All 2026 exam dates will be published on this page» — and sells them «on a first-come, first-served basis». In December 2026 it scheduled ten test days (1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17 and 22 December): all were sold out on 18 October. Watch the page for the additional sessions it is negotiating, and for the 2027 calendar; questions go to the generic address tests@afcalgary.ca. The University of Lethbridge is on FEI's list, but its exam pages showed only the DELF on 18 October. In Edmonton, sessions open for about an hour each; the other provinces are on our list of centres in Canada.

The approved TCF centre in Calgary

How to read this list. It reproduces the official list of test centres approved by France Éducation international (FEI), read on 19 September 2026: name, address, phone, generic email and website as FEI publishes them; where the listed website no longer works or has moved, we give the one we opened that day. “Computer-based”: FEI lists the centre as offering computer sessions; “paper-based”: FEI lists no computer sessions. The “TCF Canada” badges come from our check of each centre’s website on 18 October 2026. An organization that is not on this list is not approved.
