    Maybe, maybe not. The benefit of the IELTS over CELPIP is that you speak to a physical person who marks on the commonwealth language. But you have to write the essays by hand.

    CELPIP you type, but you speak to a computer, which doesn't feel very natural. My writing is atrocious, and missed the spell check from the CELPIP :pac: but found that I did grand.

    I got my best score with IELTS, and got enough to get the bonus points; if you can score CLB 9 in all sections, you get up to 260 Express Entry points.

    =-=

    They want you to speak and answer a certain way. Although some people get the max marks first time around, if you don't do well the first time around get the study materials.
