About CAEL
The Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) test is designed to assess the English proficiency of individuals who want to pursue education at Canadian colleges or universities. The CAEL exam closely reflects the type of language used in academic settings across Canada. Test takers are required to read passages, listen to a lecture, respond to questions, and write a brief essay—activities that closely resemble those typically encountered in a first-year Canadian post-secondary classroom.
