Holding a written or oral conversation in English, in which you understand what you are talking about and can respond without falling into many awkward silences, can be useful for your personal and even professional life, but if you want to study or work in Canada, things are not so elementary, in this case, it is mandatory to know your true level of the language, so you will be aware of how far you could reach your goal. 

To measure that level of language proficiency, there are tests such as the Duolingo English Test, a type of test that evaluates your English starting from your own basic knowledge of your environment to the most complex that you can demonstrate in each section of the test, that is to say that it is molded to your language ability, so during the presentation of the test you will realize that the questions are familiar and manageable, in fact, these are different from those of other users, this makes the Duolingo Test a unique and personalized test, that is why it is known for being "adaptive" type. 

Getting to know the Duolingo English Test

Knowing a little more about this distinction from other recognized tests, such as the IELTS or TOEFL, is crucial for you to successfully take this test and not stay orbiting in the comfort of your own knowledge, but to move forward and create your real challenges in English. 

The validity of the Duolingo English test is long enough that most students can plan ahead for their university applications and you can use the Duolingo test score on your applications for up to two years... But be careful, not all universities in Canada accept it, you should check with the institution or a certified advisor first. Immiland has certified advisors who can help you.
