Quick answer
These are the 4 themes candidates reported from the TCF Canada sessions of September 2026, one entry per section with what the format asked for and a note on preparing it. They are not the official questions: they are the families of topics that keep coming back, to practise under timing before your own session.
Updated
Independent prep resource, not affiliated with the awarding bodies. Themes are modelled on the formats candidates report, never verbatim exam content. Use them to steer Studio, Memo and Coach Review, not as an exam dump.
Listening
Work and training: job offers, schedules, course enrolment
The answer often hangs on a detail that changes: a moved date, another room, a second price.
Reading
Culture and society: event programmes and short opinion pieces
Read the question first, then find the paragraph; the hardest items ask for the author’s position, not a fact.
Writing
Remote work, screens and AI, consumption: compare two viewpoints
Task 3: sum up both documents in about a third of the text before giving your own view.
Speaking
Practical questions to a friend (a move, a parcel, a group outing) + a debate on parenting, integration or privacy online
Task 2: keep a set of ready question openers. Task 3: one clear position, two reasons, an example for each.
Next step: build a Path around the sections where these themes felt hardest, then alternate timed Studio with Memo vocabulary.
