Why CELPIP
CELPIP General vs IELTS GT vs PTE Core
CELPIP is the test built in Canada, designed for Canadian English. If you’re applying for Canadian PR or citizenship, CELPIP is the most accepted choice - and the test most aligned with the language you’ll actually use in Canada.
Designed in Canada
CELPIP uses Canadian accents, Canadian spellings, and everyday Canadian situations. The test feels familiar because the content reflects daily life in Canada.
Results in 4-8 calendar days
Standard CELPIP results arrive in 4-8 calendar days. Express options give you results in 3 business days. Faster than IELTS paper-based (13 days).
All computer-based
No paper anywhere. All 4 sections, including Speaking, are done at the test centre on a computer. Speaking is recorded - no human examiner in the room.
Audio plays once only
Just like IELTS Listening. No replays. You take notes while listening. Our practice software simulates this with timed playback and a notes panel.
Single 3-hour sitting
Listening, then Reading, optional 10-minute break, then Writing, then Speaking - all in one go. Stamina matters. Our mocks train your endurance, not just your skills.
Accepted by IRCC + ICCRC
CELPIP General is approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence applications and by the citizenship office for Canadian citizenship grants.
