IELTS offers both computer-based and paper-based options and is recognized globally for a wide range of purposes, including study, work, and immigration.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long do the CELPIP and IELTS tests take?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CELPIP General Test takes about 3 hours to complete in one sitting. The IELTS test takes approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, but the speaking section might be scheduled separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the cost of the CELPIP and IELTS tests?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of the CELPIP General test is around $280 CAD+tax. The IELTS test fee in Canada is approximately $309 CAD, but this can vary depending on the location.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How are CELPIP and IELTS scored?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CELPIP scores each functional area between 1-12, and the overall band score is an average of these. IELTS scores each section on a band from 0-9, and the overall score is an average of these bands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does it take to get results from CELPIP and IELTS?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CELPIP results are typically available online within 4-5 days. IELTS results take about 13 days to receive and are accessible online or in person.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which test should I take for Canadian immigration &#8211; CELPIP or IELTS?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CELPIP is a good choice if you are pursuing Canadian permanent residence. IELTS is a versatile option suitable for various purposes globally, including study, work, and immigration in several English-speaking countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there any differences in the format or difficulty of CELPIP and IELTS?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both <a href=\"https:\/\/drjoes.ca\/international-english-language-tests\/\">tests are designed to measure English language<\/a> proficiency and are similar in difficulty. CELPIP is fully digitalized and includes an automatic spell check, whereas IELTS has paper-based elements and a face-to-face speaking section.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is the speaking section conducted in CELPIP and IELTS?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In CELPIP, you record your voice on the computer. For IELTS, the speaking section involves a live conversation with an examiner, which can be in-person or virtually.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For individuals navigating the immigration process, english proficiency tests like CELPIP and IELTS are often crucial steps.
