Course Details

What is CELPIP?

One well-known English language test for anyone looking to prove their English language skills is the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP). CELPIP, which was created in Canada, is suited for anyone who wishes to fulfill language requirements for immigration, education, or career advancement. The CELPIP exam is administered in a computer-based format.

How CELPIP Helps with your life in Canada?

By proving English proficiency to Canadian institutions, CELPIP helps students achieve the language criteria for admission to colleges and universities. In addition to increasing student’s chances of academic admittance, a high CELPIP score also sets them up for success in an academic setting where English is the primary language.

CELPIP is a useful tool whether your objective is to obtain permanent residency, succeed in Canadian educational institutions, or progress in your profession. It demonstrates the useful English language abilities required to succeed in your new life in Canada. We at CCC are here to support you during your CELPIP journey and make sure you successfully and confidently reach your objectives.

 

CELPIP – General​

The CELPIP-General test evaluates your speaking, writing, listening, and reading comprehension of English. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has formally approved it for use in applications for permanent residence.

Additionally, it is accepted by schools, universities, professional associations, and vocational programs, making it a flexible choice for both academic and immigration objectives!

CELPIP – General LS

The CELPIP – General LS is designed for Canadian citizenship applications, focusing on evaluating your speaking and listening abilities in English.

There is no need to make a separate speaking appointment because the test is finished in a single session and takes only approximately an hour. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has formally acknowledged this test as the preferred choice for citizenship applications.
