Where in Canada can you get an ICAO English assessment?

Post by RoAF-Mig21 »

Hi,

I'm looking to get an official ICAO English assessment in Canada. Does anyone know who administers it? Somewhere that's officially recognized. I'm a native English speaker, but (I believe) I still need an official assessment proving that, for overseas airlines.

Thanks.

It will depend on the requirements of the overseas airline's civil aviation authority. Some will just accept your Canadian license, others won't. If they don't, they likely will require a test by one of their approved providers, making it a moot point to get a test proactively in Canada.

If you need to show English proficiency, then note that your license sticker shows LP: EN.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Most flight schools should be able to do it as lots of students from overseas have to get it before they can go solo.
