About

Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada is seeking a supplier for language testing services to assess and qualify interpreter contractor candidates through three required assessments: an Official Languages Test (a short 15‑minute written assessment of English or French comprehension), a Hearing Simulation (oral) Test for consecutive interpretation between an official language and a target language (tests available in 60 languages, with only two versions per language and variable quality), and a Sight Translation Test to translate short documents into English or French. Candidates must score a minimum of 70% on each test to qualify. The contract requires Reliability Status security clearance, is proposed from September 30, 2026 to March 31, 2027 with three one‑year optional periods, and has an estimated annual cumulative level of effort of 300 tests; multiple contracts may be awarded based on qualified languages.
