💰 How Much Does the CELPIP General Exam Cost?
When I booked my exam in March 2026, I paid:
- $295.00 – Exam fee
- $14.75 – Taxes
- Total: $309.75 CAD
📚 Free Study Materials Included After Registration
Once you complete your registration and payment, CELPIP gives you access to four online study products for free:
- CELPIP AccelerateStarter – Reading & Writing
- CELPIP Accelerate Starter – Listening and Speaking
- Starter Set – CELPIP General Practice Tests
- Starter Set – CELPIP General LS Practice Tests


The first two resources are essentially a preview of the paid Accelerate course offered by CELPIP. I actually purchased the full Accelerate course when I took my first CELPIP exam. I found it very helpful at that time.
However, after reviewing the free Starter bundle this time around, I honestly think it’s enough for me as a refresher and warm-up, especially since this isn’t my first exam.
If you’re already strong in English and mainly need to review test structure and strategy, the free starter modules might be sufficient.

They include two full-length practice tests for each exam type.
Each full test covers:
- Listening
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking
You’ll receive automated scores for:
- Listening
- Reading
For writing and speaking, there’s no automatic grading since those sections are evaluated by human raters in the actual exam. However, you still get access to the full questions, which is extremely helpful for simulating a real test.
Even without official scores for writing and speaking, having two sets of the full exam is incredibly valuable.
