Questions about sitting the CELPIP here
How many CELPIP centres are there in Quebec?
6 locations, spread across Montréal, Québec City.
Can I sit the CELPIP in one province and immigrate to another?
Yes. A CELPIP result is national — where you sit it has no bearing on which province or program you apply to. Many candidates travel to whichever centre has the earliest free seat.
Can I register at a CELPIP test centre?
No. CELPIP test centres do not process registrations at all — every booking goes through the official CELPIP website. The centre is only the venue.
What is the difference between CELPIP-General and CELPIP-General LS?
CELPIP-General tests listening, reading, writing and speaking and takes about three hours; it is accepted for permanent residence, visas, professional designation and employment. CELPIP-General LS tests listening and speaking only, takes about an hour, and is accepted for Canadian citizenship.
Which CELPIP centre should I choose?
Any official centre delivers the same computer-based test and the same result, so choose on date availability and travel. In big cities the venues are often within a few kilometres of each other, and one will usually have a seat when another is sold out.
How soon do I get CELPIP results?
Results are normally posted to your online account within four to five business days of the sitting — considerably faster than the French exams.
