Checked 25 September 2026. Facts about the CELPIP test come from Paragon's site, celpip.ca. Anything about ExamStep is about our own product and is labelled that way.

If you search for a free CELPIP mock test, start with what the test maker, Paragon, gives away on celpip.ca. Here is what its pages say today.

What is free on celpip.ca

  • A free online sample test. Paragon's preparation page says the sample test lets you get familiar with the test format and timing, see the types of questions you will meet on test day, and see the correct answers for the Listening and Reading components (celpip.ca, Prepare for CELPIP).
  • Free practice tests with a CELPIP Account. The same page lists "a free practice test when you create a CELPIP Account" (celpip.ca, Prepare for CELPIP). Paragon's page for prep providers puts it as "one set of 2 practice tests is available for FREE in every CELPIP Account" (celpip.ca, Prep Providers). Paragon also has a short form that unlocks free practice tests (celpip.ca, Free Practice Tests).
  • Free webinars and guides. Paragon lists over 10 hours of free webinars, study-tip videos and a free guidebook for test takers (celpip.ca, Prepare for CELPIP).

What celpip.ca sells

Paragon's preparation page lists study materials for sale, including an Interactive Learning Program, Online Practice Tests and Study Guides, plus books in its online store (celpip.ca, Prepare for CELPIP). Prices are on Paragon's store, so check them there.

The real test you are practising for

  • CELPIP-General has four components: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Paragon gives these times: Listening 46–55 minutes, Reading 43–56 minutes, Writing 53 minutes, Speaking 15 minutes, done in one sitting (celpip.ca, Test Format).
  • The test is fully computer-delivered, but Paragon's FAQ says it must be taken in person at a test centre (celpip.ca, FAQs). Paragon also says you must be familiar with using a computer mouse and keyboard (celpip.ca, FAQs).
  • The test-format page also lists the fee: CELPIP-General $299 + taxes and CELPIP-General LS $199 + taxes (Canadian price) (celpip.ca, Test Format). Paragon's older product pages still show $290 + taxes and $195 + taxes (CELPIP-General page; CELPIP-General LS page). Check the price at checkout.

How to use free practice well (our advice)

Treat the free material like the real thing. Time each section to the official times above, type your Writing answers instead of handwriting them, and record your Speaking answers so you can listen back to your pacing.

Our free option: ExamStep (our product)

ExamStep is our own site, not Paragon's. A free ExamStep account needs no card and includes one CELPIP practice test in each skill (Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking), fully marked. It also includes one free full mock exam in which Listening and Reading are scored and one Writing task and one Speaking task are marked; a partly marked mock gives no overall score (ExamStep pricing). After that, a single CELPIP mock costs CA$9.99 pay-as-you-go, and passes are CA$15.99 (7 days), CA$29.99 (30 days) and CA$55.99 (90 days), plus tax (ExamStep pricing). Our tests are written by us to the official format. Our scores are practice estimates, not official CELPIP results.

FAQ

Is there a free official full CELPIP mock? Paragon offers a free sample test and free practice tests with a CELPIP Account (celpip.ca, Prepare for CELPIP; celpip.ca, Prep Providers). Its pages do not say that the free sample is a full-length timed test, so plan on the official times above when you practise.

Does the free sample give answers? Paragon says the sample test lets you see the correct answers for Listening and Reading (celpip.ca, Prepare for CELPIP).

Can I take CELPIP online from home? No. Paragon's FAQ says the test must be completed in person at one of its test centres (celpip.ca, FAQs).
