CAEL Test Locations in Toronto

CAEL Test Locations

I am by no means an CAEL authority in any official capacity but my purpose is to make things easier for you to find out where and how to take the test so hopefully this page saves you a bit of time over the official source.  The CAEL (Canadian Academic English Language) test is administered by Paragon Testing Enterprises, a subsidiary of the University of British Columbia. In Toronto, the test is typically offered at various test centers, including universities, colleges, and private testing facilities. Below is a list of establishments in Toronto that are known to run the CAEL test, along with their addresses and contact information. However, I recommend verifying this information directly with Paragon Testing Enterprises or the respective institutions, as details may change over time.
1. University of Toronto (School of Continuing Studies)



2. George Brown College (English for Academic Purposes)




3. Seneca College (English Language Institute)


4. Humber College (English Language Centre)

5. ILAC (International Language Academy of Canada)

The CAEL (Canadian Academic English Language) test is a widely recognized English proficiency exam for students and professionals aiming to study or work in Canada. If you plan to take the CAEL test in Toronto, here’s a step-by-step guide to the registration process, along with advice on how early to register:

Steps to Register for the CAEL Test

  1. Create an Account on the CAEL Website
    • Visit the official CAEL website: https://www.cael.ca.
    • Click on "Register for CAEL" and create an account by providing your personal details, such as your name, email address, and contact information.
  2. Select Your Test Format
    • Choose between the CAEL Online Test (taken remotely) or the CAEL in-Centre Test (taken at a physical test center in Toronto). Ensure you meet the technical requirements if opting for the online test.
  3. Choose a Test Date and Location
    • Browse available test dates and locations in Toronto. Popular test centers include universities like the University of Toronto, George Brown College, and private language schools like ILAC.
    • Select a date that gives you enough time to prepare.
  4. Provide Identification
    • You will need to upload a valid government-issued photo ID (e.g., passport or driver’s license) during registration. Ensure the name on your ID matches the name you use to register.
  5. Pay the Test Fee
    • The CAEL test fee is approximately $280 CAD (subject to change). Payment can be made online using a credit card or other accepted payment methods.
  6. Receive Confirmation
    • After completing the registration, you will receive a confirmation email with your test details, including the date, time, and location (if applicable). For online tests, you’ll receive instructions for setting up your testing environment.
  7. Prepare for the Test
    • Use the official CAEL preparation materials available on the website, including practice tests, sample questions, and study guides.

Advice on How Early to Register

  1. Register 2-3 Months in Advance
    • Test centers in Toronto can fill up quickly, especially during peak periods (e.g., before university application deadlines). Registering 2-3 months in advance ensures you secure your preferred date and location.
  2. Check Application Deadlines
    • If you’re taking the CAEL for university or college admission, check the institution’s application deadlines and work backward to choose a test date. Allow extra time for your results to be processed and sent to the institution.
  3. Consider Retaking the Test
    • If you’re unsure about achieving your target score, consider registering for an earlier test date to allow time for a retake if needed.
  4. Monitor Test Center Availability
    • Some test centers in Toronto may have limited seating or specific testing schedules. Register as soon as possible to avoid last-minute stress.

Additional Tips

  • Prepare Thoroughly: Use the time between registration and your test date to practice all sections of the CAEL (Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking).
  • Check Technical Requirements (for Online Tests): Ensure your computer, internet connection, and testing environment meet the CAEL Online requirements.
  • Stay Updated: Check the CAEL website or contact Paragon Testing Enterprises for any changes to test dates, locations, or policies


Note that if you contact the above listed institutions either by email or phone, staff will likely direct all inquiries to the official CAEL website.  The website will direct you to choose which test and the date you wish to take it. I find it an easier site to navigate than IELTS and TOEFL but testing center but if you are having any difficulties with the website and browsing through it just give us a call. By following these steps and registering early, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free experience when taking the CAEL test in Toronto
