What is the CAEL test and how is it different from IELTS?

CAEL is specifically engineered for Canadian academic contexts. Unlike IELTS, it integrates skills — test-takers read an article, listen to a lecture, and write a cohesive essay combining both sources, mirroring a first-year Canadian university classroom.

Is CAEL accepted for the Canadian Student Direct Stream (SDS)?

Yes. Following IRCC policy updates in August 2023, CAEL is fully approved for SDS applications, enabling expedited study permit processing for eligible students.

How long are CAEL results valid?

CAEL results are delivered within 8 business days. Scores are valid for 5 years for post-secondary admissions, but only 2 years when submitted to IRCC for study permits or Express Entry.

What is a passing score for CAEL?

Scores are reported on a band scale of 10 to 90. Most undergraduate programs require an overall band of 60; competitive postgraduate programs typically require 70.

What are the CAEL Academic Units A and B?

Academic Unit A (60-70 minutes) and Unit B (40-45 minutes) require reading a passage, listening to a lecture on the same topic, and writing an extended response synthesizing both sources.

What is the CAEL coaching schedule at EEC?

Live classes Mon-Sat, 7-8 PM IST via Zoom. 8-week comprehensive course covering both Academic Units.

What happens if I miss a live class?

Recorded versions available in student portal for full membership duration.

How are CAEL online classes conducted?

Via Zoom in small batches with interactive integrated-task practice, real-time feedback, and Canadian academic context exercises.

Do I get study materials with CAEL coaching?

Yes, complete digital kit with CAEL-specific practice materials, academic vocabulary modules, integrated task worksheets, and writing templates.

How many mock tests are included?

8 full-length CAEL mock tests with integrated task scoring, Academic Unit analytics, and band-score breakdowns.

Does the course cover both Academic Unit A and B?

Yes, dedicated modules for each unit. Unit A (60-70 min) and Unit B (40-45 min) are both thoroughly practiced.

Is CAEL accepted for Express Entry?

Yes. CAEL scores can be used for Express Entry CLB equivalence. The 2-year validity applies for IRCC submissions.

Why choose CAEL over IELTS for Canada?

CAEL is designed specifically for Canadian academic contexts. Many students find the integrated format more natural than IELTS's isolated skill testing.

What is the fee for CAEL coaching at EEC?

The fee is ₹7,500 (inclusive of GST) covering live classes, study materials, mock tests, and SDS guidance.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, EMI options available. Contact us for flexible payment plans.
