CELPIP preparation from Nepal
If your goal is Canadian immigration, confirm the language-test requirement for your specific program before choosing a CELPIP target. IRCC currently accepts CELPIP-General for Express Entry, while required language levels differ by pathway.
Current test-location information
The official CELPIP directory currently lists test sittings in Kathmandu. Dates and seat availability can change, so confirm the current options directly with CELPIP before booking.

1. Diagnose
Use fresh practice or a mock test to identify the skill and task types that are actually costing you accuracy or response quality.
2. Repair
Work on the exact Reading, Listening, Writing or Speaking task instead of repeating full tests without a specific purpose.
3. Review
Classify why an answer or response was weak: evidence finding, inference, vocabulary, organization, task fulfilment, timing or another repeatable cause.
4. Verify
Return to fresh timed material and check whether the improvement survives realistic pressure before your official test.
