Please note:

  • After purchasing the test online you will receive your personal access code by email within 48 hours (2 business days). This code is linked to your name, which means the person taking the test must purchase it through their own account.
  • If you plan to register for French group classes at EDL Campus Saint‑Jean, EV@LANG will be used together with an orientation interview conducted by one of our expert teachers.
  • No test is required if you are a complete beginner. In that case, you may register directly for Level A1.1 (all adult audiences), or for Public Servants: Introduction to French for pure beginners with no background, or for Level 1A if you are a “false beginner” with some prior exposure to French.
  • EV@LANG is NOT recognized by the Government of Canada for immigration purposes.
