CanTEST and TESTCan discontinuation notice

The OLBI Language Testing Services team would like to thank you for your past support and faith in the administration and delivery of the French (TESTCan) and English (CanTEST) language proficiency tests.

Notice

Please be advised that the CanTEST and TESTCan are no longer being offered as of August 15, 2021. The last test was administered in February 2020. Test score results remain valid for a period of two years from the date the test was administered; consequently, all test scores will be rendered invalid after August 15, 2022. As a result of this decision, we will no longer be investing in new tests, practice tests or other related materials, nor will we be selling such material. Please do not hesitate to contact our office at [email protected] or [email protected].

To: Past Test takers

While the tests are no longer being administered, your scores remain valid for a period of two years from the date you last took the test. Therefore, you may still request your unofficial or official score reports up until August 15, 2022. Refer to: Score Interpretation, Requirements and Reporting.
