How do I find the earliest CELPIP test date near me?

Open your city from the list above. Sessions are sorted by date, so the first row is the earliest one still open for registration. If it is too soon or already low on seats, the nearby cities listed on each city page are the next place to look.

How current are the dates and seats shown here?

The session list is collected from the official CELPIP registration system. Pages are rebuilt through the day, and when you open a city page it also loads the latest list, which is usually only a few minutes old. Seats can still go between then and the moment you pay, so the official site has the final word.

When does registration close?

Registration closes one business day before the test, or sooner if the session fills up. Each session in the table shows its closing date, and sessions with only a few seats left are marked.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

You can cancel at least 7 calendar days before the test for a 50% refund. Inside 7 days there is no refund. Moving to another date at least 7 days ahead can carry a transfer fee of CAD $50 or the local equivalent, plus tax, although the official FAQ says the first transfer is free. Your CELPIP account shows what applies to your booking.

What time should I arrive on test day?

Arrive 45 minutes before the start time shown. Check-in closes 15 minutes before the test begins, and anyone who arrives after that is not admitted, refunded or moved to another date. Bring the same valid ID you registered with.

How soon can I take the test again?

You can book no more than one test session within any five calendar days. Scores are posted online 2 to 4 business days after the test, so you will know your result before you decide whether to rebook.

Is this the official CELPIP site?

No. This is an independent site that gathers the session list from the official CELPIP registration system and shows it by city. You cannot book or pay here. Every Register button opens the official CELPIP site, where the booking actually happens.
