Language tests accepted by the MPNP
The MPNP has approved two English testing agencies – International English language Testing System (IELTS) General and Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP)-General (available in Canada only). These are the same agencies and tests used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
You must take one of these tests no more than two years before the date you submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the PNP-B, and must submit the official results as a required document with your PNP-B application.
Applicants are assigned points based on their Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level. The PNP-B uses the following table to determine CLB levels from language test results.
