# Can I take the CAEC test in a different province?

Right now, it’s not possible. Candidates can only write their CAEC exams in the province or territory in which they reside. For example, a person who lives in Ontario must take the CAEC exam in Ontario.

Testing centres will ask for ID from all candidates, and that ID must show they are residents of that province or territory, or they will not be able to write the exam.
