Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program

The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program, or CELPIP (/ˈsɛlpɪp/), is an English language assessment tool which measures listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. The test is administered by Paragon Testing Enterprises., a former subsidiary of the University of British Columbia (UBC) owned by Prometric Canada since 2021.

The CELPIP test is offered in two versions, CELPIP-General, and CELPIP-General LS.

CELPIP-General is suitable for people who need proof of English-language skills when applying for permanent resident status in Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Start-up Visa Program, and various Provincial Nominee Programs, or for employment. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has two approved English language tests: CELPIP-General, and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) General Training test.

CELPIP-General LS is suitable for people who need proof of listening and speaking proficiency for Canadian citizenship.
