CELPIP-General LS
CELPIP for Canadian Citizenship
Canadian citizenship has its own, lower language bar focused on everyday listening and speaking. CELPIP-General LS is accepted, requiring CLB 4 in those two skills.
The language requirement
CLB 4 in listening and speaking (the CELPIP-General LS test)
To become a citizen, applicants aged 18 to 54 must show CLB 4 or higher in listening and speaking. CELPIP-General LS is the version built for this — it covers only those two skills, with no reading or writing.
Only listening and speaking are tested for citizenship — practise the LS version, not the full four-skill General test.
Requirements can change. Confirm the current requirement for Canadian Citizenship with IRCC before you book your test.
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 LS covers only listening and speaking.
Practise the two skills CELPIP scores
Listening
Everyday conversations and information, answered as the audio plays.
Speaking
Short spoken tasks on familiar topics, graded on the words you use.
