What is the purpose of the Second Language Evaluation Centre?
The Centre evaluates the second language (English or French) competencies required to meet the linguistic profile of bilingual positions at the House of Commons. Candidates are required to take standardized tests to evaluate their ability to read, write and communicate orally in their second language. We use the same reading comprehension and written expression tests as the Public Service Commission of Canada.For more information, see the second language evaluation page on the Public Service Commission’s Web site.
