The Modern Choice for Canada
What is CELPIP?
CELPIP is a 100% computer-based English language assessment test designed specifically for the Canadian context. It measures your ability to function in everyday situations, from workplace conversations to social interactions.
Why Is It Essential for Students?
While many international students enter Canada with IELTS or TOEFL, the CELPIP-General test is the "gold standard" for those planning to stay.
PR & Citizenship: It is the primary test accepted by the IRCC for permanent residency.
Professional Certification: Many Canadian professional bodies (nursing, real estate, etc.) require CELPIP.
CELPIP vs. TOEFL: Difficulty Level
Practicality: TOEFL is strictly academic. You deal with university lectures and complex scientific texts. CELPIP is functional; you write emails and talk about daily photos.
Format: In CELPIP, you speak to a computer, similar to TOEFL, but the topics are much more relatable.
Ease: Most test-takers find CELPIP easier because the vocabulary is what you hear on the streets of Toronto or Vancouver, not in a biology textbook.
