The TCF for Québec is composed of a listening comprehension and an oral expression. You must take both to complete your test but it is also recommended for the French naturalization:

• Listening comprehension (30 questions – 30 minutes)

• Oral expression (6 questions – 15 minutes with an evaluator).
