Hi,

For how long will the CELPIP-General LS test result be valid to apply for citizenship?
With the 3/4, i'm eligible to apply second half of 2015 but then with all speculation of 4/6 starting date, I might end up applying in 2016, so if I do the test right now would it be valid to use when applying for citizenship next year ? Is anything mentioned officially about the validity ?

thx

They don't expire for citizenship purposes.

they do not expire, HOWEVER, CIC may change/review its requirement over the language requirement proficiency...so do check the requirements again just before applying... as for example, they recently changed the accepted score for CELPIP LS, who knows they might not even accept CELPIP in 6 months time, they may not change anything, increased the score requirements, remove the proficiency requirement.. etc... In short, do check the requirements before you apply... there is no expiry of the CELPIP as of date.
