Availability of results


Unofficial results

Unofficial results are available online 13 days after your test. It may take until that afternoon for the results to become visible. These online unofficial results are only available for 28 business days after the test result release date. Your TRF number is available on both the Test Report Form you receive and through the unofficial online result at the bottom of the page.

Please note that these are not to be used for official purposes, and that all institutions or agencies require official Test Report Forms.

Official results

On the 13th day after your paper-based test and within 3-5 business days after your computer-based test, official results will be sent via regular mail or courier. We strongly encourage you choose the courier option as regular post cannot be tracked and may take up to 3 weeks for delivery.

Test takers must notify Canada College Test Centre, before the results are released and they must bring their test day identification with them to pick up the TRF.
