CELPIP for Canada · New Zealand
Applying from New Zealand
CELPIP from New Zealand — for Canadian immigration
If you are applying to Canada from New Zealand, CELPIP is one of the English tests IRCC accepts for permanent residence (CELPIP-General) and citizenship (CELPIP-General LS). The level you need depends on the program, province or occupation — here is each route, with free practice.
CELPIP and your move from New Zealand
The CELPIP test itself is the same wherever you sit it, and your Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) result is read the same way for every applicant. What changes is the requirement of the route you choose. Test availability in New Zealand can change, so check the official CELPIP site for current locations and dates near you.

An honest estimate, not a fake score
CELPIP gives each skill its own level on the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB 1–12). There is no single overall score — IRCC reads each skill separately, so a strong average cannot cover a weak skill. AlmiCELPIP shows a practice estimate as a CLB range, never an inflated single number, because a practice task is not the calibrated live exam. CELPIP-General covers all four skills.
Practise the four skills CELPIP scores
Listening
Conversations, news and discussions — answered as you listen, audio plays once.
Reading
Correspondence, diagrams, information and opinion passages.
Writing
An email and a survey response, with honest AI feedback on four criteria.
Speaking
Eight short spoken tasks, graded on the words you use — never your accent.
