Why this test matters
Canada's typing job market splits across two languages and two regions. English-only roles outside Quebec mirror US standards (40–60 WPM for clerical, 60+ for specialized). Bilingual federal roles require both English and French typing competency, often tested separately. Quebec roles default to French, sometimes with bonus weighting for English. The default 1-minute test below matches the most common screening format; bilingual candidates should also practice the dedicated French test.
