The Canadian Language Benchmarks Placement Test (CLBPT) is the assessment tool we use at LCC. It is task-based, looks at the four primary language skills (Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking), and assigns Canadian Language Benchmarks levels 1 – 8 for each skill.
This test can be used to register in
The CLBPT is NOT accepted by Citizenship and Immigration Canada as proof of language ability for immigration (see the CIC website for language tests you can use for citizenship applications).
Your CLB scores will show your ability to use English in everyday tasks. “Last minute” studying will not improve your results!
If you have already taken a CLB Placement test or LINC Placement test, please wait at least 3 months before scheduling another assessment.
Test duration: 1.5-2 hours
Location: 601 – 333 Terminal Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6A 4C1
Fees: $125 per assessment
You will receive the results for all 4 skills (Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing) immediately after the test.
If you are scheduled through an employment agency or government program, the test result will also be sent directly to the employment counselor/case manager.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes early. Photo identification will be checked prior to the assessment.
