IRCC accepts both IELTS and CELPIP for Canadian immigration. People know about these tests, and they are offered in many countries. You can choose either one based on what you like and what is best for Canadian immigration.
Even though both the CELPIP and IELTS tests check how well a candidate speaks English, there are some differences between them:
There are two types of IELTS tests: academic and general training. Both are open to students who want to take them. The General Training format is for people who want to move to an English-speaking country or work in a non-academic setting.
The Academic format is for students who want to go to college or university. The CELPIP test comes in two forms: the General version and the General LS version (Listening and Speaking).
The IELTS test checks how well a person can hear, read, write, and speak in English. The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index (CELPIP) is a test that checks the same four language skills as the other tests, but it puts more focus on the communication skills that are important for living in Canada.
How the Test is Given: Depending on the country and test location, you can take the IELTS exam on paper or on a computer. The CELPIP program is all done online.
Scoring System: Both of these tests use a scoring system to figure out how well the test takers know English. The IELTS uses a band scale from 0 to 9 to score, while the CELPIP uses a scale from 1 to 12.
It is very important to find out what the company or school you are applying to needs before you choose a test to take.
