Mastering the CELPIP General: Tips and Insights from Emjay Coaching

Updated: Sep 28

If you're aiming for Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) and considering your options for language proficiency tests, you might be weighing the CELPIP General against the IELTS. Today, we’re diving deep into the CELPIP General test, its structure, scoring system, and how Emjay Coaching can help you ace it with less time and effort. We'll also explore why students like Krishna, who scored 6 bands in IELTS, are shifting their focus to CELPIP. Ready to crack the CELPIP code? Let’s get started!


Understanding the CELPIP General Test

The CELPIP (Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program) General test is designed to assess your English language skills in a Canadian context. It’s divided into four sections:

  1. Listening: Approximately 47-55 minutes, consisting of six parts.

  2. Reading: Approximately 55-60 minutes, consisting of four parts.

  3. Writing: Approximately 53-60 minutes, with two tasks.

  4. Speaking: Approximately 15-20 minutes, with eight tasks.


Scoring System

The CELPIP General test scores each section on a scale of 1 to 12, with 12 being the highest. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Level 12: Advanced proficiency in English.

  • Level 9-11: Effective proficiency.

  • Level 7-8: Adequate proficiency.

  • Level 5-6: Developing proficiency.

  • Level 1-4: Limited proficiency.

Each level corresponds to a particular CLB (Canadian Language Benchmark) level, which is essential for Canadian immigration purposes.


CELPIP vs. IELTS: Why Consider CELPIP?

Krishna’s Experience

Meet Krishna, a determined candidate aiming for Canada PR. He scored 6 bands in IELTS but found the format challenging and the preparation time-consuming. After some research, he discovered CELPIP and decided to give it a try. Here are the reasons why Krishna, and many others like him, prefer CELPIP:

  1. Canadian Context: CELPIP is tailored to Canadian English and scenarios, making it more relevant for those planning to live and work in Canada.

  2. Computer-Based Test: Unlike the paper-based IELTS, CELPIP is entirely computer-based, including the Speaking section. This can be less intimidating for many test-takers.

  3. One-Sitting Exam: CELPIP is conducted in a single sitting, which can be more convenient and less stressful.

  4. More Comprehensive Scoring: CELPIP's 12-point scoring system offers a more detailed assessment of your abilities.
