Each candidate is provided with a certificate stating their test results within two months of the test date, and is valid for 2 years.

Please consider the time period necessary to receive the certificate (around 2 months) if you want to apply for a school or immigration process.

Once received in our premises, we will send you a notification to come pick up your official test results, upon presentation of an official ID.  Documents are only kept one calendar month.

You will not have access to your results before receiving the paper cetificate.
