Yes.
The tests that we are using are not used only for immigration. These tests are designed by large international corporations that design language tests for various purposes, for example, university admissions.
We have been looking for a Canadian company to design these tests for a long time. We have language tests in Canada, but we need a language test for this specific purpose that can be administered anywhere in the world. In the past, no company, except the Paris chamber of commerce, was prepared to offer that service throughout the world in order to meet our needs.
The department is finalizing negotiations with a Canadian company to do that work. I was told that the contract would take effect sometime between now and the fall and that the necessary changes will be made to our electronic system.
