• Both of the tests are equally appropriate to be
  used for your immigration application, and
  choosing one over the other can be a matter of
  personal preference. IELTS is a good choice for
  the test-takers who prefer paper-based exams and
  separate face-to-face speaking components, or
  those applying from outside of Canada. However,
  based on the analysis above, CELPIP is a better
  choice for those who prefer a computer-based exam
  and are looking for a faster and less stressful
  test experience.
