Writing is one of the four sections in CELPIP General, and you reach it after Listening and Reading. You complete two tasks in about 53 minutes — a response email and a survey response — both typed on screen. There is nothing extra to study: each prompt gives you everything you need to answer.
Both tasks are built on everyday Canadian situations, from a problem with a service to a community survey. You are scored on how clearly you communicate and organise your ideas, the range of your vocabulary and your grammar — not on specialist knowledge. That is why regular practice with realistic prompts and honest feedback is the fastest way to raise your level.
Task 1
You read a short situation and write an email that responds to it — making a request, raising a complaint or arranging something. The prompt tells you who you are writing to and the points you must cover, so the tone can be formal or informal.
Task 2
You are given a survey question with two options. You choose one and write a persuasive response that explains and defends your choice with clear reasons and concrete examples, staying on topic throughout.
The section runs about 53 minutes — roughly 27 for the email and 26 for the survey response. Each mock here uses the same on-screen timer.
Each task is judged on four traits: content and coherence, vocabulary, readability and task fulfilment. Responses here are scored automatically and mapped to a CELPIP level, up to 12.
Writing appears on CELPIP General, not CELPIP LS. Choose these tests when General is the version you are preparing for.
Both responses are typed on a keyboard with a live word counter and no spell-check. Practising the same way builds habits that pay off on test day.

Everything test takers usually ask about the CELPIP Writing section and how these practice tests work.
No. The Writing section is part of CELPIP General only. CELPIP General LS covers Listening and Speaking, so it has no Writing section. Every test on this page prepares you for the Writing section of CELPIP General.
Two. Task 1 is Writing an Email, where you respond to a situation in 150 to 200 words. Task 2 is Responding to Survey Questions, where you choose one of two options and argue for it, again in 150 to 200 words.
About 53 minutes in total. You get roughly 27 minutes for the Task 1 email and 26 minutes for the Task 2 survey response. Each mock test here uses the same timing so you practise under real conditions.
Aim for 150 to 200 words per task. Writing far less leaves your ideas undeveloped, while padding just to reach a number tends to hurt your coherence. Both mock tasks show a live word counter, exactly like the real exam.
Each task is rated on four dimensions — content and coherence, vocabulary, readability and task fulfilment — which combine into a CELPIP level, with Level 12 the highest. When you submit a mock here it is scored automatically against these same criteria, and you get a level estimate with written feedback for each task.
Task 1 asks you to write an email to a specific reader — a landlord, a manager, a friend — so the tone can be formal or informal depending on who they are. Task 2 gives you a survey question with two options; you pick one and write a persuasive response with clear reasons and examples. Use the Register filter above to practise formal or informal emails.
Test 1 is free, so start there to learn the format. After that, use the Register filter to focus on the email tone — formal, semi-formal or informal — you want to practise. Working through a mix is the best way to prepare.
No. The real CELPIP Writing section has no spell-check or dictionary, and you type your answers on a standard keyboard. Practising the same way — typing, watching your word count and proofreading yourself — builds the habits you need on test day.
