Deciding which English Language to give for Canada PR 1. I don't wanna go for IELTS as i feel it's tougher when I gave my Academic (L-7.5, R-8.5, W/S-6.5) 2. Thinking about Celpip 3. Now PTE is allowed for EE, but not yet for PNP's. Is it wise to go for PTE right now when it's only for EE!!! Or should i wait? Also, if anyone gave celpip or PTE, please suggest which one is a bit easier!!!

IELTS vs CELPIP vs PTE for Canada PR: how applicants actually choose

7 Answers

I did both IELTS and CELPIP and, for me, CELPIP was so much easier! Speaking part is a bit weird because you have to talk to your PC and not an actual person, but if you prepare, there is a pattern. There are tips for CELPIP online and that helped me a lot (check YouTube). I passed with max points for all parts (CLB 9 if I am not mistaken) and it gave me max points for EE.

D Singh Pal as per my Experience, ielts academic is tougher than ielts general. Especially the reading part. So if u have cracked the academic then general won’t seem Difficult

My strong recommendation, stick with IELTS but push on listening, writing and speaking. Even a push of .5 in these all will give you 21 additional CRS.

Nela Jeřábková true. I felt for speaking they are very lenient in scoring. Max benifit to candidate

Guna Deepak if you are looking for PNP minimum IELTS (6) is sufficient. No need to stress yourself
