What is the CELPIP?
The Canadian English Language Competence Index Program (CELPIP) is an English language proficiency exam for Canadians. The CELPIP Test allows candidates to demonstrate their proficiency in English. The exam measures a test taker's English abilities in a number of everyday scenarios, including as conversing with coworkers and superiors at work, engaging with friends, reading newscasts, and interpreting and responding to written materials.
Currently two English language tests are recognized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for immigration purposes: CELPIP-General and IELTS (International English Language Testing System) – General Training Test.
The CELPIP-General test measures general levels of functional English ability in the workplace and in the community. The CELPIP-General test, like the IELTS-General test, has four components: speaking, reading, writing, and listening.
Why Take CELPIP?
If you wish to study in Canada and extend your horizons, you must apply for the CELPIP. It is a viable alternative to the IELTS/TOEFL examinations. Some of the reasons why you should take the CELPIP test are listed below:
- Unlike other exams that need two sittings, CELPIP may be completed in a single sitting.
- While English is a single language, it has different dialects that not everyone can comprehend. CELPIP employs only one accent: the North American Accent.
- You don't have to wait months or even weeks for the results because you get them in 4-5 days.
- You will receive free sample exams, preparatory courses, and webinars once you have enrolled for the examination.

The Listening and Reading examinations in the General Test have 'two unscored questions' that are used for test development.

CELPIP & EXPRESS ENTRY
The Express Entry immigration selection system manages applications submitted to any of Canada's federal economic immigration Programmes.
Getting in the EE pool
Under Express Entry, the candidates are required to demonstrate their ability to communicate in English or French (or for extra points, both).There are three different pathways to enter the pool. Following are the same:
- FSWP - Federal Skilled Worker Program
- FSTP - Federal Skilled Trades Program
- CEC - Canadian Experience Class
The language criteria for getting into the Express Entry pool differ depending on which of the above mentioned program a person qualifies for. Unlike the IELTS and TEF examinations, which use different scoring systems, CELPIP test results are graded on a scale of one to twelve, just as the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLBs). Following table shows each program and language ability accordingly:
To Enter The Pool*
FSWC | FSTC | CEC (NOC 0 or A) | CEC (NOC B) | |
Speaking | 7 | 5 | 7 | 5 |
Reading | 7 | 4 | 7 | 5 |
Writing | 7 | 4 | 7 | 5 |
Listening | 7 | 5 | 7 | 5 |
*The table above implies that the person is otherwise qualified for the Programmes specified (s). It is not a guarantee that you will be accepted into the pool if your CELPIP test scores are equal to or better than the ones stated above.
Note: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) considers CELPIP findings to be valid for two years from the date of issuing. When CELPIP findings become invalid, the applicant is withdrawn from the pool and is no longer eligible for a permanent residency ITA. As a result, applicants whose results may become invalid are urged to take another exam before that possibility arises.
