How does the NCLC calculator work?
Each TCF Canada test (listening, reading, speaking, writing) is converted into an NCLC level using the official equivalence table below.
For immigration, your weakest skill is the one that counts: your final NCLC is the lowest level among the tests you entered.
The result is an estimate only; the official TCF Canada certificate is the sole document accepted by IRCC.
