ICI Info is Radio-Canada's national news site, written in Canadian French. Its short, clearly structured articles are ideal daily reading for TEF Canada and TCF Canada candidates: they cover exactly the themes that recur in the exam — society, environment, work, health — while immersing you in the vocabulary and register you will read once you arrive. Free and updated constantly, it turns news reading into targeted practice.
How to use it for exam prep
A focused daily routine
- Pick one short article and skim the headline and first paragraph first — practising the questions-first, gist-first reflex.
- Read it fully and note two or three new words plus any connector of concession (« certes... mais ») you spot.
- Summarise the article in two French sentences — one for the main idea, one for the author's angle — to reuse in writing tasks.
