CELPIP Test Booking 2026: Registration Steps, Date, Centre, Fee & Checklist

By MyCELPIP Editorial Team · Updated August 10, 2026

CELPIP test booking — quick answer: the easiest official CELPIP booking method is online. Choose the correct test version, select a live date and authorized location, complete payment and keep the confirmation details for test day.

CELPIP recommends online registration, notes that test-centre capacity is limited, and states that dates, times and locations can change. Current Canadian Test Format/Overview pages display CELPIP-General at CAD $295 plus applicable taxes and General LS at CAD $199 plus applicable taxes; international pricing varies. Always confirm the live checkout price and availability before paying. Use the official Find a Test Date, Test Locations and CELPIP FAQs.

What this page helps you do

Booking is simple, but mistakes can be expensive. Confirm that your identity details, test version and location are correct before completing payment.

Booking decisions should be based on live official availability

Do not build a travel plan around an old blog list of dates or centres. Availability changes by city, test type and capacity. Search the official finder for the location and date you actually need, then confirm the final price and registration details in your CELPIP account.

Before paying, make sure the test version, name on your identification, location, date and preparation timeline all match your purpose.

A practical step-by-step plan

  1. Create or sign in to the official CELPIP account.
  2. Choose General or General LS based on your purpose.
  3. Select an available authorized test location and date.
  4. Review the current fee and checkout details.
  5. Save the confirmation and review test-day identification requirements.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Registering through an unofficial third party when you intended to use CELPIP directly.
  • Choosing General LS for a purpose that requires all four skills.
  • Assuming a test centre can process walk-in registration.
