Full equivalency table —

Rows highlighted are the levels you currently hold in at least one ability. CELPIP levels 10, 11 and 12 all equal CLB 10; "M" = below CLB 4. TEF Canada results dated before December 10, 2023 use an older scale — enter them on the IRCC chart's earlier column, not here.

These rows check language thresholds only, not full program eligibility. Levels are computed from the published IRCC charts. IRCC only accepts a test taken as the full "General" / "Core" / "Canada" version at an approved centre; academic versions do not count. Not legal advice.
