What is CELPIP?
CELPIP stands for the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program. It is a language assessment test designed to evaluate a person’s English proficiency for immigration, citizenship, and professional purposes in Canada. The test is accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and other organizations. It is computer-based and assesses English skills in four areas:
- Listening
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking
There are two versions of the CELPIP test:
- CELPIP-General: For permanent residency applications and other professional designations.
- CELPIP-General LS: For Canadian citizenship applications, assessing only Listening and Speaking.
