CELPIP for Federal Skilled Trades
The Federal Skilled Trades Program is for qualified tradespeople. CELPIP-General is accepted, with a higher bar for the spoken skills than the written ones.
The language requirement
CLB 5 for speaking and listening, CLB 4 for reading and writing
The Federal Skilled Trades Program asks for CLB 5 in speaking and listening and CLB 4 in reading and writing — recognising that trades rely heavily on spoken instruction and safety communication.
Speaking and listening need CLB 5 while reading and writing need CLB 4 — focus extra practice on the spoken skills.
Requirements can change. Confirm the current requirement for Federal Skilled Trades 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 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.
