Can you retake the Celpip test?

So you just got to know that you need to take CELPIP in order to demonstrate that you have exceptional English skills. Now, you are searching the entire google looking for mock tests and study material. You spent days and nights in its preparation. You appeared, you attained the test. The result came and BOOM your score is lesser than you expected.

At the moment, one thing is going through your mind “can you retake the Celpip test?”

Yes! It is possible to retake the CELPIP test. Although, it is important to know that the time period between each test should be about 30 days. If the policy is disgraced in any way, the test will be canceled.

Get along with this post, if you require more information about CELPIP and its policy.

CELPIP

CELPIP implies the “Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program”. It is a Canadian-based English language examination system and it is entirely computer-based. It can be attained in a single meeting.

How to get prepared for the CELPIP Test?

Well, this is something that you need to focus on. While preparing you need to give equal attention to each module: speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Get started with watching Hollywood movies, TV shows, seasons, talk shows, and everything that might help you in understanding basic English conversation. 

If someone interrupts, get them off with “I am getting prepared”. Start reading novels, e-books, short stories. Sounds hectic, but you need to hang tough, as during reading our minds pick up things and words unknowingly. Following that, begin having daily life conversations in English with your friends and families. 

Initially, you will feel weird by doing so but that’s the beginning. Your friends might act like a clown when you start speaking English with them. Well, pass over it. There will be a time when they will feel guilty.

CELPIP or IELTS? Which one to choose?

If you think that CELPIP is easier in any way than IELTS. Then you might be wrong. IELTS too is not easy as compared to CELPIP. Both tests possess their own stages of testing. The only prominent thing is that IELTS is entirely paper-based, that you will be writing on a paper for 3 hours. 

Whereas, CELPIP is completely computer-based in which you will be spending 3 hours straight working on the computer. Now, the choice of preference is yours whether you want to drag pen on paper or run your fingers through the keyboard.

About CELPIP

CELPIP is still acknowledged by IRCC for immigration reasons. It is kind of bizarre that Canada is still holding onto its ancient immigration policy. If we get to look at the USA, we will only encounter disappointments while going through their immigration policy.

Speaking of the duration of the CELPIP test, it is as long as “Lawrence of Arabia”. Yes, you will spend 3 hours sitting in front of the computer. IELTS is the same but at least you don’t need to come the day after to give a speaking test. You will be set free in a single seating.

CELPIP is designed for permanent residence in Canada too. You need to attain the required score to achieve your permanent residence.

How to find out the CELPIP score and when?

Like everything, you will find your CELPIP test result online. Just go to the CELPIP website, log in to your account by registration number and password. But you don’t need to hustle because you will be notified as soon as your result is uploaded. 

Also, it takes 8 business days to come up with the result unless you pay extra charges for an early arrival of your result i.e. 3 days. So, do not swipe up and down and refresh your email or check spam. Your score will be placed in your account for 2 years from the test date.

 If you have achieved remarkable scores then you might adore them for 2 years. If not, then you might need to forget your password and retake your test. Additionally, you will receive 2 printouts of your result through the mail.

What is the score requirement for Canadian immigration?

Well, it is dependable on the policy of immigration organizations. As in, Express entry requires a minimum of 7 points in each module. The highest mark can be 24.

 All you need to do is to focus on your preparation. Throw away your cell phone, deactivate all your social handles, and Netflix. Yes, that too “Netflix”. Just try to figure out why you are applying for this test and what are your goals.

Where to take the CELPIP Test?

Again it depends on the place or area you are currently residing in. Choose the test center accordingly. Like if you are in Vancouver, Canada, select the test center that is located in the center. For example, Downtown. If you are in Abbotsford, Canada, choose ATS (Ashton testing services), they offer reliable locations and are also open on Saturdays. 

Can I retake the CELPIP test?

Yes, of course, if you are not satisfied with the scores you got. You have this opportunity to reappear in the CELPIP test. Just make sure that your test has at least a 30 days gap. If you fail to acknowledge the policy your test might get canceled.

What other organizations recognize CELPIP?

IRCC is not the only organization down here that recognizes and acknowledges CELPIP. There are a lot more organizations that accept CELPIP. CELPIP is looking forward to accompanying more organizations in the future. If not interrupted by a brand new rising company doing the same. 

Following are the organizations that accept CELPIP:
