CAEL Test

CAEL is an important part of your journey to study in Canada. The test measures your ability to use and understand English at an academic level.

CAEL prepares you for success in Canada
CAEL is the only test that provides a truly authentic representation of language use in a Canadian academic context. It evaluates how well you combine your English skills to perform academic tasks that you would encounter in your first year at a Canadian university or college. Currently, more than 185 Canadian universities and colleges accept CAEL as evidence of English language proficiency for admission to their academic programs. A list of these accepting institutions appears on the CAEL website.
