The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program, or CELPIP ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|ɛ|l|p|ɪ|p}}), is an English language assessment tool which measures listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. The test is administered by Paragon Testing Enterprises.,[1] a subsidiary of the University of British Columbia (UBC). Paragon is the only Canadian company delivering Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) designated English proficiency tests.[2] The CELPIP test is offered in two versions, CELPIP-General, and CELPIP-General LS.

CELPIP-General is suitable for people who need proof of English-language skills when applying for permanent resident status in Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Start-up Visa Program, and various Provincial Nominee Programs, or for employment. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has two approved English language tests: CELPIP-General and IELTS General Training Test: International English Language Testing System.[3][4]

CELPIP-General LS is suitable for people who need proof of listening and speaking proficiency for Canadian citizenship. The CELPIP-General LS Test is accepted by IRCC as one of only two designated English language tests for Canadian citizenship.[5]

In June 2015, with the acquisition of the Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) Assessment, Paragon Testing Enterprises retired the CELPIP-Academic Test.

CELPIP Test Types

CELPIP-General

The CELPIP-General Test assesses a general level of English-language proficiency. The CELPIP-General Test is accepted as proof of English language proficiency for those applying for Canadian Permanent Residency and to the Association of Saskatchewan REALTORS (ASR).

The forms of identification that are acceptable for CELPIP-General test registrations are:

  • a Passport Booklet
  • Refugee Protection Claimant Document
  • Travel Document
  • Refugee Protection Claimant Documents and Travel Documents must be preapproved by Paragon Testing Enterprises. Refugee Protection Claimant Documents and Travel Documents that are not preapproved will not be accepted on test day.[6]

CELPIP-General LS

The CELPIP-General LS Test assesses a general level of English-language proficiency. The CELPIP-General LS Test is accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as a measure of listening and speaking proficiency for those applying for Canadian citizenship.

In June 2015, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) implemented the remaining changes to the Citizenship Act. One important change is that applicants between the ages of 14 and 64 must now meet basic language requirements in listening and speaking in English or French. For minors who are between the ages of 14 and 17, registrations for the CELPIP-General LS Test are accepted.[7]

The forms of identification that are acceptable for CELPIP-General LS test registrations are:

  • Passport Booklet
  • Canadian Permanent Resident Card
  • Travel Document
  • Refugee Protection Claimant Documents and Travel Documents must be preapproved by Paragon Testing Enterprises. Refugee Protection Claimant Documents and Travel Documents that are not preapproved may not be accepted on test day.[8]

Test Format
