What is CELPIP?

The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is a general English language proficiency test. The CELPIP Test allows test takers to demonstrate their ability to function in English.

The test clearly, accurately, and precisely assesses a test taker's English abilities in a variety of everyday situations, such as communicating with co-workers and superiors in the workplace, interacting with friends, understanding newscasts, and interpreting and responding to written materials.

There are two types of CELPIP tests to choose from. CELPIP - General Test evaluates test taker's English speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills and is used for permanent residence applications and professional designations. CELPIP - General LS Test evaluates test taker's English speaking and listening skills and is used for citizenship applications and professional designation.
