Why CELPIP?

The Canadian Test. CELPIP was originally developed at The University of British Columbia (UBC) and is administered by Paragon Testing Enterprises, a subsidiary of UBC. It is a complete English language testing program that accurately assesses four language skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Completely Delivered by Computer. CELPIP is completely delivered by computer in just one three-hour session offering a unique testing experience that requires no additional appointments. The computer-delivered speaking component allows candidates to demonstrate their English proficiency without the confounding effects associated with having a human examiner.

Uses Canadian English. CELPIP uses the English variety as spoken in Canada. Individuals wishing to immigrate to Canada relate more to understanding and using Canadian English than other varieties used in other comparable testing systems.
