Canadian Language benchmark placing test

The Canadian Language Benchmarks Placement Test (CLBPT) is a streamlined assessment instrument that is an adaptable, efficient means to place adult learners in ESL programs. It is task-based, assesses four language skills (Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking), and is aligned with the Canadian Language Benchmarks levels 1–8. There are four parallel versions of the CLBPT.

Before starting classes in the ELSA Program, you must take the CLBPT to find out what level of English you are at. It is used to place adult learners in ESL programs. If you are a Permanent Resident or Canadian Citizen and you plan to take part in the ELSA program, the test is free of charge.
