What is CELPIP?

 

The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is a comprehensive examination designed to evaluate individuals’ proficiency in the English language scored out of 12. Through the CELPIP Test, participants can showcase their capacity to operate effectively in English. The test gauges an individual’s English skills with clarity, accuracy, and precision across diverse real-life scenarios, including workplace communication with colleagues and superiors, social interactions with friends, comprehension of news broadcasts, and the interpretation and response to written materials.
