In Lebanon, the TCF is run by the Institut français du Liban, and France Éducation international lists 6 approved centres: Beirut, Deir El Kamar, Jounieh, Saida, Tripoli and Zahlé. On 13 October 2026, each of their exam pages named the TCF Canada among the versions offered, “as part of the Canadian immigration process”. Session dates are only in PDF calendars, and no fee is published as text; results arrive about six weeks after the test.

Key facts

  • The TCF Canada is listed on all six exam pages, with the TCF tout public, the TCF Québec and the TCF IRN.
  • Results in about 6 weeks; the certificate is collected in person at the Institut.

What the Institut français du Liban publishes

Each of the six centres has its own exam page on institutfrancais-liban.com, with the same TCF text: the TCF tout public, the TCF Québec, the TCF Canada — “as part of the Canadian immigration process” — and the TCF IRN. The results are sent “about 6 weeks after the exams”, and the certificate is collected in person at the Institut.

The calendars, however, are PDFs: Beirut, Jounieh and the South (Saida) link a 2026 TCF calendar, Zahlé still links its 2024 one, and Deir El Kamar and Tripoli link none. The pages don’t say how to register or by when, and publish no fee as text — so contact your centre (Beirut gives 01 420 272/3 on its page) before planning your application. If you prefer the other test IRCC accepts, see TCF vs TEF Canada.

The 6 approved TCF centres in Lebanon

How to read this list. It reproduces the official list of test centres approved by France Éducation international (FEI), read on 13 October 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 13 October 2026. An organisation that is not on this list is not approved.
