Answer a few questions and see where you stand. No account, no cost — your results are emailed to you.

Please check this address carefully.

We email a confirmation code to it, and you enter that code back here. Your report can only be sent once this address is confirmed — so nothing can reach you at an address with a typo in it.

If you have used our service before and know your ARUID, enter it so your results join your existing file. Leave blank if you are unsure.

The language you grew up speaking at home.

Your first language. If you grew up with two, pick the one you think in. This does not change your points; it helps us speak to you well. Not sure? Give your best answer — we check it with you.

English or French — which one is stronger for you?

Canada has two official languages. Pick the one you would take a test in. If both are strong, pick the stronger, and tell us about the other next. Not sure? Give your best answer — we check it with you.

Which English or French test have you taken, if any?

IELTS General, CELPIP, PTE Core, TEF or TCF. If you have not taken one yet, leave it blank — you can still get a result today. Not sure? Give your best answer — we check it with you.

Your level in that language, 1 to 12 (Canada calls it CLB).

Took a test? Use the chart from your test to turn your scores into a level. Give the lowest of your four scores. No test yet? Guess honestly. 5 is everyday conversation, 7 is confident, 9 is very strong. Not sure? Give your best answer — we check it with you.

Do you also speak the other official language? Say none if not.

If your main language is English, can you also work in French — or the other way round? Speaking both opens more doors. Most people say none, and that is fine. Not sure? Give your best answer — we check it with you.
