## Questions

### Does the course say which test I should take?

No. The program you apply to names the tests it accepts. Check its official page. For your own case, ask a qualified professional, such as a regulated Canadian immigration consultant or a lawyer.

### Does the course say when I am ready to book a test?

No. It cannot judge your level. Your instructor can. The course teaches you what to check and what to ask.

### Does passing the exam qualify me to help others with applications?

No. The certificate of completion records that you passed this site's exam. It is not a licence or a qualification, and it does not replace advice from a regulated professional.
