There are three versions of the CELPIP Test: the CELPIP-General Test, the CELPIP-General LS (Listening and Speaking) Test, and the CELPIP-Academic Test.

The CELPIP General Test is a multi-purpose English language proficiency test accredited by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to assess functional language proficiency in English. CELPIP stands for Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program.

The CELPIP General Test allows test takers to demonstrate their ability to function in English and gives trained raters (i.e, test evaluators) ample opportunity to assess the test taker’s performance in the Writing and Speaking Tests. Raters are not required for the Listening and Reading Tests because these are computer-scored.

The test clearly, accurately, and precisely assesses a test taker’s English abilities in a variety of everyday situations, such as communicating with co-workers and superiors in the workplace, dealing with friends, understanding newscasts, and interpreting and responding to written materials.
