Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is a recognized computer-delivered English language assessment tool that measures listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. All four components of CELPIP are completely computer-delivered in just one sitting, offering a unique testing experience that requires no additional appointments. The computer-delivered Speaking component allows test candidates to demonstrate their English proficiency without the possible confounding effects associated with human interaction as used in other testing systems.

CELPIP uses the English variety as spoken in Canada. It is ideal for providing proof of English language proficiency for immigration to Canada, for employment, or for admission to various post-secondary programs or professional associations.

CELPIP consists of two proficiency tests: CELPIP-General and CELPIP-Academic.

The CELPIP-General Test provides Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and other users with an accurate measurement of English language proficiency in common usage situations.

The CELPIP-General Test is a complete English language testing program that assesses general levels of functional competency. The test consists of the following components:

• Listening
• Speaking
• General Reading and Writing

The format and scoring of the test are referenced to the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB).

What groups can use the CELPIP-General Test Results?

• CIC requiring proof of English proficiency of applicants for immigration to Canada (Skilled Workers and Professionals), CIC designation for Canadian Experience Class pending
• Canadian immigration associations and consultants advising applicants for immigration to Canada to fulfill language requirements
• professional associations and employers requiring proof of English language proficiency of their members and prospective employees
