Typing Test Canada

Canadian hiring typing tests look very similar to US ones — except many federal and Quebec roles also test French typing speed alongside English.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do Canadian federal jobs require typing tests?
Many do, especially clerical, executive assistant, and court services roles. Bilingual roles test both languages.
What's the typing speed requirement for Government of Canada roles?
40–50 WPM for most administrative roles, 60+ for executive assistants and specialized clerical positions.
Are French typing tests standardized in Canada?
Federal bilingual hiring uses standardized formats; provincial varies. AZERTY is rare in Canada — most French Canadian typists use QWERTY with dead keys.
