Worldwide EduConnect has partnered with Paragon Testing Enterprises to promote and support delivery of their products in the Indian market. Paragon Testing Enterprises, a subsidiary of The University of British Columbia (UBC), was created in 2009 to administer and expand the usage of the university’s English language proficiency tests.
Paragon’s mission is to make its English language proficiency tests the tests of choice for those wishing to immigrate to Canada, become Canadian citizens, or study in Canada at all levels. To achieve this mission, Paragon conducts ongoing test research in collaboration with internationally recognized scholars at Canada’s leading universities. This test research program ensures the highest quality tests, and enables Paragon to compete with large international testing agencies.
Paragon currently administers three tests: the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) Test, the Canadian Academic English Language (CAEL) Test, and the Language Proficiency Index (LPI) Test.
Since its founding, Paragon has rapidly expanded its test centres across Canada and internationally to include over 80 test centres worldwide. Paragon’s first international CAEL and CELPIP test centres are now open in the UAE, India, China, the Philippines, and the USA.
The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) is the only Canadian English language test designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenships Canada (IRCC). The test allows test takers to demonstrate their ability to function in English, and accurately assess a test taker’s English abilities in a variety of everyday situations.
The CELPIP Test comes in two versions including the CELPIP-General Test for applicants for permanent resident status in Canada, and the CELPIP-General LS Test for applicants for Canadian citizenship (This version of the CELPIP Test is available only in Canada).
