That's indeed inspiring !! May I ask where did you take the test? I assume it must be in Canada. How was the test center audio qualities?
Hi, thank you!

I took the test in the US where I currently live.

They play the recording using an old school radio looking thing haha, it was ok everyone could hear it even those sitting at the back :)

I took celpip 4 times.

it is always 12,12,7,8 I am going insane !!!!
Have you considered IELTS?

At first I have less confidence in the IELTS test since its PBT vs the CELPIP CBT format, however I did score better on the IELTS. Give it a try, you never know!

One tip that I can share is get really familiar with the test format, I believe knowing the format well is already half the battle. There will be no surprises at every turn as you already know what to expect! Good luck.

Yess... the sterio that has a cassette player not even cd
Lol yes!

The only complain I have for the IELTS test is the manual writing on paper, nowadays most of my writing is done on laptop/computer and smartphone. We're given the exact word count and also the ability to edit and insert words/sentences or even re-arrange paragraphs instead of having to cross out the manual work on paper and estimating the word count.

I like meeting the examiner face to face for the Speaking part, it just seems more natural vs the computerized recording on the CELPIP test.

can this effect the draw now on wednesday
Certainly concerning news but I want to direct your attention towards a few lines from the article - "The poll of 1,528 Canadians were randomly recruited from Leger's online panel conducted from June 7 to 10 for The Canadian Press. Polling experts say online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not generate a random sample of the population."

I think modifying intake is not a person's decision, and is not a day's process. In my opinion, the immigration programmes will not end until Canada achieves a steady and sustainable natural increase rate.

During my recent attempt.. the player stopped working during test run.. another player was brought in.. then 30 or so people complained their headphones are not working.. they spent around 20 minutes changing headsets..

During reading there was a power failure.. we were awarded extra 2 minutes.. similarly we got 6 extra minutes for writing :p

I had to call in every other day.. call center associates blatantly lie.. no use.. catch them on twitter or facebook.. everything's in writing..
