The most recent exam used as the main examination for applicants who are either immigrants or international students is the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP). Only the CELPIP General Test, one of the two forms of the test, is recognised by the federal and provincial governments of Canada. The General LS Test, which just includes Listening and Speaking, is the other variation. The primary distinction is that the CELPIP test includes all four components—listening, reading, writing, and speaking—in three hours on the same day.
