CELPIP to CLB calculator
Choose the CELPIP levels from your official score report. Each skill has its own Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB). For CELPIP levels 3–12, the CLB is the same number. Scores are not averaged.
How to read this: Reading 5, Listening 6, Writing 5 and Speaking 8 means CLB 5 / 6 / 5 / 8. The lowest of these four levels is 5; that is a summary of the minimum across skills, not an official overall CLB score.
How does CLB work?
CLB describes English proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing. A stronger score in one skill does not replace a required minimum in another. The target checker compares only the level you choose; it does not decide immigration eligibility or calculate CRS points.
CELPIP level 2 corresponds to CLB 1–2, so an exact single CLB cannot be assigned. CELPIP 0, 1 and NA do not provide a CLB equivalency in the provider’s chart. For Express Entry, IRCC groups CELPIP 10 and above together as CLB 10 and above in its equivalency tables.
This tool converts official CELPIP levels only. Our original practice questions are not calibrated to the official test, so their percentages cannot establish your CLB.

Before you practise
Is this an official CELPIP exam?
No. All questions and scenarios were written for Go Explore Canada. No real exam questions or recordings are reproduced. The reading set follows familiar task types; neither set is an official or validated exam.
Can this calculate my CLB from my practice score?
No. Original practice questions have not been calibrated to CELPIP. The result shows correct answers and accuracy only. The separate converter uses the CELPIP levels on an official score report.
Where is my progress saved?
Your selected answers, timer and section are stored in this browser using local storage, when available. They are not sent to a scoring server. Another browser or device will not have this progress. Reset clears this set. The website’s usual analytics may still measure page visits.
Does the timer match the real exam?
This is a pausable study timer, not a reproduction of official test software. The reading practice timer is 54 minutes; the listening study timer is 42 minutes. Check the official test website for current exam timing and procedures.
Can I share this with friends?
Yes. Share the page link. Your answers and progress are not included in the link. Each visitor starts with their own browser progress.
