Official CELPIP study materials and practice tests

Paragon, which runs CELPIP, offers a free sample test on celpip.ca and sells extra practice tests and study materials. There’s no single free handbook like a driving test guide. The free sample test is the place to start, because it uses the same kind of screens as the real one.

Start with the free sample test

It lets you see the question types and timing before test day. Work through it in one sitting, timed, so you know how the hours feel. Then look at where you lost time.

Paid official materials

Paragon sells more practice tests and study programs through celpip.ca. Prices change, so we haven’t listed them here. Check the prep pages for current options. Be careful with PDFs of “official practice test bundles” shared online. Unless they come from Paragon, you can’t be sure they’re real or up to date.

The test taker guidebook

Paragon’s guidebook explains how the test works, how long each part takes, test day rules and how to get your results. It’s free. Read it in the week before your test.

Check what IRCC needs before you study

Your target level shapes how you prepare. Someone aiming for CLB 9 in Express Entry studies differently from someone who needs 4 in listening and speaking for citizenship.
